The net_config local action handles templating for network configuration
file. It will also allow network device configurations to be backed up
to the control host
Note: this plugin was originally named net_config but has been refactored to
net_template
now deprecation message appears with variable name in all spots where this occurs
debug's var= option is excluded as this is only place where bare variables shold actually
be accepted.
it was assumed it could only be a dict or string (it starts out as a list)
also a 2nd assumption that bare vars only would appear in one of the dict keys.
removed deprecation warnings from here as they should be signaled in the bare conversion itself.
Adds new local action ops_config for handling openswitch configurations using
either dc or cli based configurations. Implements the common net_config
local action.
Note this refactors the ops_config plugin to ops_template
Adds a new local action ios_config for working with cisco ios configuration
files. Implements the common net_confing local action
Note this plugin was refactored from ios_config to ios_template
Adds new local action for working with cisco nxos configurations. Implemements
the net_config local action.
Note this action plugin was refactored from nxos_config to nxos_template
Adds a new local action for eos_config module to handle templating configs
and backing up running configurations. Implements the local action
net_config
Note this action was refactored from eos_config to eos_template
This fixes a minor bug in the nxos config module to ensure that both the
cli and nxapi transport return the running config as a string and not
a list object.
The module docs and vault changes solve issues where tracebacks can
happen. The galaxy changes are mostly refactoring to be more pythonic
with a small chance that a unicode traceback could have occurred there
without the changes. The change in __init__.py when we actually call
the pager makes things more robust but could hide places where we had
bytes coming in already so I didn't want to change that without auditing
where the text was coming from.
Fixes#14178
This addresses two issues with the nxos shared module. The first issue is
argument precedence checking. The module should prefer explicit arguments
over arguments passed vi the provider. This is now fixed to honor that
precedence. The second issue is collecting output from nxapi and returning
the response. Prior to this change the entire json structure was returned.
Now just the output is returned to align it better with cli based output
The eos shared module should prefer to use explicit task arguments over
arguments provided through the provider. This fixes a problem where
that was not the case
So far, when a 'diff' dict is returned with module results, it is
checked for 'before' and 'after' texts, which are processed in
_get_diff() by python difflib. This generates the changes to display
when CLI users specify --diff.
However, some modules will generate changes that cannot easily be
expressed in a conventional diff. One example is the output of the
synchronize module, which presents changed files in a common log format
as in `rsync --itemize-changes`.
Add a check for a diff['prepared'] key, which can contain prepared diff text
from modules.
* In 2.0.0.x become was reversed for synchronize. It was happening on
the local machine instead of the remote machine. This restores the
ansible-1.9.x behaviour of doing become on the remote machine.
However, there's aspects of this that are hacky (no hackier than
ansible-1.9 but not using 2.0 features). The big problem is that it
does not understand any become method except sudo. I'm willing to use
a partial fix now because we don't want people to get used to the
reversed semantics in their playbooks.
* synchronize copying to the wrong host when inventory_hostname is
localhost
* Fix problem with unicode arguments (first seen as a bug on synchronize)

Role definitions typically require params to be different from those
which are specified as FieldAttributes on the playbook classes used
for roles, however a certain subset should be allowed (typically those
used for connection stuff).
Fixes#14095
The dep chain for roles created during the compile step had bugs, in
which the dep chain was overwriten and the original tasks in the role
were not assigned a dep chain. This lead to problems in determining
whether roles had already run when in a "diamond" structure, and in
some cases roles were not correctly getting variables from parents.
Fixes#14046
by moving to en-bloc unicode conversion to act on scripts stdout
Both python-json and simplejson always return unicode strings when using
their loads() method on unicode strings. This is true at least since
2009. This makes checking each substring unnecessary, because we do not
need to recursively check the strings contained in the inventory dict
later one-by-one
This commit makes parsing of large dynamic inventory at least 2 seconds
faster.

This prevents a bug where the existing cache outside of the class
is not cleared when creating a new Inventory object. This only really
affects people using the API directly right now, but wanted to fix it
to prevent weird errors from popping up.
Instead of bombing out of the strategy, we now properly mark hosts failed
so that the play iterator can handle block rescue/always properly.
Fixes#14024
When using a playbook-level include, we now catch any errors raised during
the conditional evaluation step and set a flag to indicate we need to pass
those conditionals on to the included play (most likely because they contain
inventory variables for evaluation).
Fixes#14003
This causes problems when fetching parent attributes, as the include
was being skipped because the parent block would fetch the attribute
from the parent play first.
Fixes#13872
this was taken out in an effort to default to the user's shell but creates issues as this is not known ahead of time
and its painful to set executable and shell_type for all servers, it should only be needed for those that restrict the user
to specific shells and when /bin/sh is not available. raw and command may still bypass this by explicitly passing None.
fixes#13882
still conditional
The provider argument accepts the set of device common arguments as a
dict object. Individual connection arguments can still be included and
take priority over the provider argument. This update includes additions
to the nxos doc fragment
