Enhancement: Move the vendored and community.general ini_file calls into a shared include_ini_file.yml that main.yml pulls in with include_tasks, passing settings as variables, and update the tests to reuse a tasks/include_check_ini_file.yml helper via include_role with tasks_from.
Reason: A community.general FQCN in a statically parsed task file aborts play parsing on ansible 2.9 even when the task is skipped, which previously forced bare module names with an fqcn lint suppression.
Result: The collection module is now referenced by FQCN and only parsed at runtime, keeping ansible 2.9 support while dropping the bare-name workaround.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Compatibility

    • Improved INI file handling across managed nodes running older and newer Python versions.
    • SSSD configuration updates now use consistent behavior across supported environments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved idempotency checks to ensure repeated configuration runs do not report unnecessary changes.
    • Strengthened validation of SSSD, DNS, and custom settings during configuration and migration workflows.
  • Refactor

    • Consolidated configuration and verification logic for more consistent execution and maintenance.

…s into a shared include_ini_file.yml called from main.yml with include_tasks, and update the tests to reuse a tasks/include_check_ini_file.yml helper via include_role with tasks_from (referencing the role by its legacy short name linux-system-roles.ad_integration). Reason: On ansible 2.9 an unresolvable community.general FQCN in a statically parsed task file aborts play parsing even when the task is skipped by "when"; a dynamic include defers parsing to runtime so the skipped FQCN is never resolved. Result: The role and its tests use the proper community.general.ini_file FQCN while still running on ansible 2.9 with older-python managed nodes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The role centralizes Python-version-specific INI operations in shared helpers. Production SSSD configuration tasks and idempotency tests now pass parameters to these helpers instead of duplicating module branches.

INI helper migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared INI helper implementation
tasks/include_check_ini_file.yml, tasks/include_ini_file.yml
The helpers select ini_file_python_36 for Python versions below 3.7 and community.general.ini_file for Python 3.7 or newer. The check helper fails when the operation changes.
Production task integration
tasks/main.yml
SSSD configuration tasks now include include_ini_file.yml with per-setting variables. The helper retains SSSD restart notifications.
Idempotency test integration
tests/tests_dyndns.yml, tests/tests_migrate_sssd_settings.yml, tests/tests_sssd_custom_settings.yml, tests/tests_sssd_settings.yml
Tests now include include_check_ini_file.yml for present and absent INI settings, including loop-based validation. Previous Python-version branches and inline change assertions were removed.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 357af

The revised idempotency tests can retain facts from earlier role execution, so they may pass without validating a clean role run. Route these helper calls through the required clear-facts wrapper before merging.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not invoke ad_integration with include_role in these tests.

These calls invoke the role under test directly. Use the centrally managed tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml wrapper for role execution. Move the INI check helper behind a permitted include_tasks test helper if the checks must remain separate.

  • tests/tests_dyndns.yml#L52-L54: replace the direct include_role invocation.
  • tests/tests_dyndns.yml#L104-L106: replace the direct include_role invocation.
  • tests/tests_migrate_sssd_settings.yml#L70-L72: replace the direct include_role invocation.
  • tests/tests_migrate_sssd_settings.yml#L87-L89: replace the direct include_role invocation.
  • tests/tests_sssd_custom_settings.yml#L32-L34: replace the direct include_role invocation.
  • tests/tests_sssd_custom_settings.yml#L74-L76: replace the direct include_role invocation.

The auxiliary-role exception does not apply because every call targets ad_integration itself. As per path instructions: “NEVER use ansible.builtin.include_role directly” and “ALWAYS use the centrally managed wrapper.” Based on learnings, direct inclusion is only acceptable for auxiliary roles, not the role under test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use the clear-facts wrapper for helper execution.

These tasks invoke linux-system-roles.ad_integration directly. This violates the required role invocation pattern. Direct execution can retain facts from the prior role run, so the idempotency check does not get the isolation provided by tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml.

Extend the wrapper to select include_check_ini_file.yml, then route both checks through it.

  • tests/tests_sssd_settings.yml#L79-L81: Invoke the helper through tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml.
  • tests/tests_sssd_settings.yml#L121-L123: Invoke the helper through tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml.

As per path instructions, tests must “ALWAYS use the centrally managed wrapper”; the retrieved learning excludes direct use for the linux-system-roles.ad_integration role under test.
