…n Ansible templates

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added separate configuration fields for extra arguments used when installing Ansible Galaxy roles and collections.
    • Added form controls to configure role and collection arguments independently.
    • Grouped Galaxy installation settings in a collapsible section with customization indicators.
    • Added clearer labels and validation messages for Galaxy options.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Galaxy installation arguments are now validated before use.
    • Invalid, unsupported, incomplete, or incorrectly formatted arguments are rejected.
    • Role and collection arguments are forwarded to their corresponding installation processes without mixing configurations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds separate Ansible Galaxy role and collection argument fields. The backend validates and forwards the matching arguments to Galaxy installation commands. Template validation rejects unsupported Galaxy install arguments.

Changes

Ansible Galaxy arguments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Galaxy argument validation
pkg/galaxy/install_args.go, db/Template.go, pkg/galaxy/install_args_test.go, db/Template_test.go
The Galaxy package validates role and collection install flags. Ansible template validation applies these rules to task parameters. Tests cover valid arguments, unsupported flags, missing values, and invalid parameter shapes.
Galaxy installation argument forwarding
db_lib/AnsibleApp.go, db_lib/GalaxyExtraArgs_test.go
Installation helpers select separate role and collection arguments, validate them, and pass them through requirements-file installation paths.
Galaxy form controls and supporting text
web/src/lib/constants.js, web/src/components/TemplateForm.vue, web/src/components/CollapsibleSection.vue, web/src/components/DropdownCard.vue, web/src/components/TemplateVaults.vue, web/src/lang/en.js
The form groups Galaxy controls in a collapsible section and exposes separate role and collection argument fields. Supporting translations and layout updates are included.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91112

Galaxy argument changes may not reinstall dependencies when requirements files are unchanged, and allowed server URLs can expose embedded credentials through command arguments without a visible warning. The cron interval hint is also hidden. These issues should be addressed before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Include extraArgs in the Galaxy installation cache state.

Line 134 only runs Galaxy when requirements.yml changes. Changing GalaxyRoleArgs or GalaxyCollectionArgs leaves that file unchanged, so the new command arguments never run.

Persist a hash of the requirements content and the effective argument list in the existing hash file. Add a test that changes only the configured arguments and verifies that Galaxy runs again.

Display the Galaxy argument secret warning.

web/src/lang/en.js defines galaxyArgsHint, but neither picker renders it. These values reach process argv, as documented in db/Template.go Lines 236-237.

Add one visible warning for both Galaxy argument controls. Do not rely on the model comment for user guidance.

P1 Badge Invalidate the cache when Galaxy arguments change

When an existing template's Galaxy arguments are added or edited without changing requirements.yml, hasRequirementsChanges remains false because its cache covers only the requirements file, so execution never reaches the newly appended extraArgs. Consequently, the new configuration can be ignored indefinitely for templates with an existing requirements hash; include the relevant argument list in the cached state or otherwise invalidate the hash when it changes.

Summary

  • Updated the Galaxy requirements cache digest to include the effective role or collection arguments, ensuring argument-only configuration changes invalidate the cache. db_lib/AnsibleApp.goL15-L54
  • Applied the argument-aware digest when checking and persisting Galaxy installation state, so ansible-galaxy runs again when arguments change without modifications to requirements.yml. db_lib/AnsibleApp.goL139-L166
  • Added a regression test using a fake ansible-galaxy executable that verifies two installations occur when only the configured arguments change. db_lib/GalaxyExtraArgs_test.goL16-L52
  • Committed the changes as e8fa6ba and created the follow-up PR metadata. Existing unrelated modifications to pro/go.mod and pro/go.sum were left untouched.

Testing

  • ✅ go test ./db_lib/ -run 'TestInstallGalaxyRequirementsFile_ArgsChangeInvalidatesCache|TestGalaxyExtraArgs' -v -count=1
  • ✅ go test ./db_lib/ -count=1

P2 Badge Show the process-list warning beside Galaxy arguments

When users configure either new Galaxy argument field, the warning added here is never displayed: a repository-wide search finds galaxyArgsHint only at this declaration, while both ArgsPicker instances receive only their titles. This leaves users unaware that sensitive values entered in these fields are exposed through the process argument list, so render this hint alongside both controls.

@fiftin, this is a credential-exposure concern. It is not a command-injection issue.

The validator accepts this input:

--server=https://user:secret@galaxy.example.com

user:secret@ is URL userinfo. It embeds credentials in the server URL.

The code forwards this value to ansible-galaxy as a process argument. Other users on the same host can often inspect process arguments. Process arguments can also appear in diagnostics or logs.

The new code already rejects --token and --api-key for this reason. --server can carry the same secret indirectly, so it should reject server URLs that contain userinfo.

For example, these should fail validation:

--server=https://user:secret@galaxy.example.com
-s https://token@galaxy.example.com

A normal server URL remains valid:

--server=https://galaxy.example.com

Credentials should be supplied through the supported external authentication mechanism, not in the template argument.
