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
* 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.
