which got lost in recent big 'performance improvements' merge by @jimi-c.
I had made a previous PR to fix this, then @bcoca had committed an
improved fix. Now it's lost again.
cf: d2b3b2c03e (lost here)
cf: 25e9b5788b (previous fix)
Earlier PR #14849
Earlier issue #14843
Please note that jimi-c broke this last time as well ... seeing a
pattern here.
The diff returned from eos when the transport was set to eapi was as
a dict but is expected to be a str. This change extracts the diff string
from the dict object and returns it. The behavior is now consistent
between cli and eapi transports.
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
There is an issue when piping cli commands through json but the output
is specified as either text or the output is none and the transport is
cli. The results would not be loaded properly for conditional
evaluation. This is similar to #17422
The caching of commands in CommandRunner is providing no useful feature
and causing problems. This removes the code and simply returns the
requested command results.
Some old remnants of code from the refactor of netcli was left over as
reported in #17408. This commit removes the old code as it isn't need
and in fact wasnt doing anything
Exception thrown when using cli transport in eos but piping the command
through json
* eos now checks for `| json` and automatically changes the output type
* adds back import of Command object
tested on EOS 4.15.4F
* Clean up EOS, IOS, IOS-XR, Junos, NX-OS, and OpenSwitch
* Cleanup net* files
* Re-add NetworkModule import to network module_utils files
This will trick modules into importing code from module_utils code, thus
including it in the final Ansiballz zipfile.
* Give asa a look over, too
* dynamic role_include
* more fixes for dynamic include roles
* set play yfrom iterator when dynamic
* changes from jimi-c
* avoid modules that break ad hoc
TODO: should really be a config
* add authorize() method to handle authorization
* move terminal commands to after authorization completed
* add save_config() method to handling writing config to disk
* fix minor issues with get_config
* adds action plugin asa_config
