* Add aggregate parameter validation
aggregate parameter validation will support checking each individual dict
to resolve conditions for aliases, no_log, mutually_exclusive,
required, type check, values, required_together, required_one_of
and required_if conditions in argspec. It will also set default values.
eg:
tasks:
- name: Configure interface attribute with aggregate
net_interface:
aggregate:
- {name: ge-0/0/1, description: test-interface-1, duplex: full, state: present}
- {name: ge-0/0/2, description: test-interface-2, active: False}
register: response
purge: Yes
Usage:
```
from ansible.module_utils.network_common import AggregateCollection
transform = AggregateCollection(module)
param = transform(module.params.get('aggregate'))
```
Aggregate allows supports for `purge` parameter, it will instruct the module
to remove resources from remote device that hasn’t been explicitly
defined in aggregate. This is not supported by with_* iterators
Also, it improves performace as compared to with_* iterator for network device
that has seperate candidate and running datastore.
For with_* iteration the sequence of operartion is
load-config-1 (candidate db) -> commit (running db) -> load_config-2
(candidate db) -> commit (running db) ...
With aggregate the sequence of operation is
load-config-1 (candidate db) -> load-config-2 (candidate db) -> commit
(running db)
As commit is executed only once per task for aggregate it has
huge perfomance benefit for large configurations.
* Fix CI issues
* Fix review comments
* Add support for options validation for aliases, no_log,
mutually_exclusive, required, type check, value check,
required_together, required_one_of and required_if
conditions in sub-argspec.
* Add unit test for options in argspec.
* Reverted aggregate implementaion.
* Minor change
* Add multi-level argspec support
* Multi-level argspec support with module's top most
conditionals options.
* Fix unit test failure
* Add parent context in errors for sub options
* Resolve merge conflict
* Fix CI issue
