The exception message, when shade fails, will contain much more
specific information about the failure if the exception is treated
as a string. The 'message' attribute alone is usually not helpful.
If this parameter was not of the right type, the module would fail with a
traceback, with a "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'"
exception.
It now gives a proper error message on type errors.
nics is a great flexible parameter, but it's wordy. Shade now supports
a simple parameter too, which is just "network" and takes a name or id.
Add passthrough support.
In addition to supporting booting from a pre-existing volume, nova and
shade both support the concept of booting from volume based on an image.
Pass the parameters through.
Shade supports boot-time attachment of additional volumes for OpenStack
instances. Pass through the parameter so that ansible users can also
take advantage of this.
This commit allows the `security_groups` parameter of the `os_server`
module to be either a YAML list or a common-delimited string (much like
the `nics` attribute). E.g., this:
- os_nova_server:
[...]
security_groups:
- default
- webserver
Or this:
- os_nova_server:
[...]
security_groups: default,webserver
The existing code was receiving a list of strings and erroneously
assuming it was being given a list of dictionaries, leading it to fail
with:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'
This commit corrects the list handling code to check the type of each
item and handle it appropriately. Also, based on bcoca's comment
in #2253, thie code removes the special case for a string-only argument.
By transforming string arguments into dicts and then handling them like
any other dict argument, this also permits arguments of the form:
nics: net-name=mynet
Or:
nics: port-name=mynet
Previous versions of this code only supported `net-id` and `port-id` in
string specifications.
There was a parameter in the docs called 'public_ip' that didn't
actually exist. Additionally, auto_floating_ip is not consistent with
the underlying parameter which is auto_ip - for no good reason.
Add auto_ip as the real parameter, and then make public_ip and
auto_floating_ip as aliases for it for backwards compatability.
Fixes#2301
This patch adds support to setting metadata key/value through a string
argument. Variables can now be used for both the metadata key and
value.
example:
meta: "{{ var1 }}:SomeValue,key:{{ var2 }}"
* Add python>= 2.6 to documented requirements when a module's deps need
python>= 2.6 so we know when a module can use python2.6+ syntax
* Remove BabyJSON usage
* Change modules to use if __name__ == '__main__' so that they can
potentially be unittested
The BabJSON changes Fixes#1211
