* 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
* Fix paramiko's exec_command() to return bytes on python3
* Run test_connection for python3 now too
* Fix atomic_move for problem in shippable's testing
* Python-2.4 needs to use b()
I can't figure out any reason that we'd need to use long explicitly here
as python implicitly moves from a C long int to python Long
automatically under the covers. My best guess is that it was originally
used so that the facts module would work on python-2.2 where the user
had to convert a number from int to long manually but python-2.4 is our
current baseline.
long isn't present on Python3 so now is a good time to remove this
cruft. (We had a workaround for Python3; this commit also removes the
workaround.)
for `VariableManager._get_magic_variables()`.
This saves a lot of time re-iterating the nearly always constant global
list of groups and their members.
Generate once and cache, and invalidate cache in case `add_host:` or
`group_by:` are used.
* Port set_*_if_different functions to python3
* Add surrogate_or_strict and surrogate_or_replace error handlers for
to_text, to_bytes, to_native
* Set default error handler to surrogate_or_replace
* Make use of the new error handlers in the already ported code
* Move the unittests for module_utils._text as they aren't in basic.py
* Cleanup around SEQUENCETYPE. On python2.6+ SEQUENCETYPE includes
strings so make sure code omits those explicitly if necessary
* Allow arg_spec aliases to be other sequence types
This feature also cleans up and extends the meta subsystem:
* Allows for some meta actions (noop, clear_facts, clear_host_errors,
and end_play) to operate on a per-host basis, meaning they can work
with the free strategy as expected.
* Allows for conditionals on meta tasks.
* Fixes a bug where (for the linear strategy) metas were not treated
as a run_once task, meaning every host in inventory would run the
meta task.
Fixes#1476
* adds squashing to objects, which allows them to be squashed down
to a final "view" before post_validate to avoid expensive evaluations
of parent attributes
Introduces the `inherit` param for FieldAttributes, which is now used
in BaseMeta when constructing the getter property to enhance performance
by reducing the amount of work the getter generally has to do.
