Implement tag and skip_tag handling in the CLI() class. Change tag and
skip_tag command line options to be accepted multiple times on the CLI
and add them together rather than overwrite.
* Make it configurable whether to merge or overwrite multiple --tags arguments
* Make the base CLI class an abstractbaseclass so we can implement
functionality in parse() but still make subclasses implement it.
* Deprecate the overwrite feature of --tags with a message that the
default will change in 2.4 and go away in 2.5.
* Add documentation for merge_multiple_cli_flags
* Fix galaxy search so its tags argument does not conflict with generic tags
* Unit tests and more integration tests for tags
In order for the config to be returned with vpn passwords, the get_config()
method now supports a keyword arg include=passwords to return the desired
configuration. This replaces the show_command argument
* ssh_executable docs
Added docs about ssh_executable in intro_configuration and
intro_inventory under behavioral inventory params
* Added full stops + \n in intro_configuration
foo.split('\n') is picky about the type of 'foo'.
if 'foo' is a bytes type, then foo.split('\n')
will fail on py3 with:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
The foo.split('\n') change isn't strictly required
when run_command returns native str types, but it
is more idiomatic and conceptually also supports other
line endings.
Prior to this commit, the ini parser would fail if the inventory was
not 100% utf-8. This commit makes this slightly more robust by
omitting full line comments from that requirement.
Fixes#17593
* Specify run_command decode error style as arg
Instead of getting the stdout/stderr text from
run_command, and then decoding to utf-8 with a
particular error scheme, use the 'errors' arg
to run_command so it does that itself.
* Use 'surrogate_or_replace' instead of 'replace'
For the text decoding error scheme in run_command calls.
* Let the local_facts run_command use default errors
* fix typo
In py3, dict.keys() is a view and not a copy of the
dicts keys, so attempting to delete items from the dict
while iterating over the keys results int
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
Resolve by casting .keys() to a list() type.
* Remove unicode-escape which is not present on python3
Alternative fix for #17305
* Enable the assemble test on python3
* Fix other problems with assemble on python3
The kickstart kwarg should be set to False for eos based devices and
was set to True. This change cleans up problems loading json output
from cli commands
All eos_command test cases are now passing successfully
fixes#17441
When adding condition statements, the Conditional instance will now generate
an AddConditionError if is unable to map the condition to a function in the
instance
