Forward A/CNAME and reverse PTR records reported changed=0 / ok but never
resolved by short name on the Samba AD DC (myrddin.prole.org). Root cause was
regex escaping inside YAML folded block scalars (">-"): unlike double-quoted
scalars, block scalars do NOT process backslash escapes, so a pattern written
as '\\.' reached Jinja as a literal backslash + any-char and never matched.
Consequences:
- regex_replace() never stripped the zone suffix, so records were created
under their full FQDN (e.g. a record literally named "sg2428lp.prole.org"
inside zone "prole.org"). `samba-tool dns query ... prole.org sg2428lp A`
then returns WERR_DNS_ERROR_NAME_DOES_NOT_EXIST.
- regex_findall() of existing values always returned [], so stale records
were never pruned and idempotency only survived via RECORD_ALREADY_EXISTS.
The leading/trailing whitespace from the folded scalar was a red herring: the
command module's shlex tokenization collapses it, so a single-token name
survived intact. The escaping was the actual defect.
Fix:
- Convert the templated set_fact expressions from ">-" block scalars to
double-quoted single-line scalars (one consistent escaping convention,
matching the already-working samba_target_zone line; also removes the
stray whitespace).
- Add an assertion that the computed record name is a clean, non-empty,
whitespace-free token.
- Add a post-apply verification re-query + assert that the expected
value(s) are actually present, turning a silent no-op into a hard failure.
Applies to roles/samba_dns (ensure_a.yml, ensure_cname.yml) and
roles/samba_reverse_dns (ensure_ptr.yml).
Verified end-to-end through ansible-playbook against a stateful fake
samba-tool: correct short names (sg2428lp, git, @, registry), stale-value
removal, internal.prole.org zone routing, idempotent re-runs (changed=0),
and the verify-assert failing loudly when an add silently does not persist.
