This commit updates the nxos transport shared plugins for
2.2. This includes updates to both Cli and Nxapi. This commit
also includes the nxos_config action plugin
The nxos cli provider would not properly handle ssh key files passed
from the playbook task. The ssh_keyfile argument is now properly
passed to the ssh authentication method
This fix address the bug reported in #3862
* Clarify exception handling in EOS
Also modify to EOS to standardize modules. It makes vimdiff a lot less angry
* Move IOS exception handling into Cli
* Move IOS-XR exception handling into Cli
* Move JUNOS exception handling into Cli
* Move NXOS exception handling into Cli
And reorganize to make it match the other modules
* Move OpenSwitch exception handling into Cli
More speculative restructuring here
* Ziploader proof of concept (jimi-c)
* Cleanups to proof of concept ziploader branch:
* python3 compatible base64 encoding
* zipfile compression (still need to enable toggling this off for
systems without zlib support in python)
* Allow non-wildcard imports (still need to make this recusrsive so that
we can have module_utils code that imports other module_utils code.)
* Better tracebacks: module filename is kept and module_utils directory
is kept so that tracebacks show the real filenames that the errors
appear in.
* Make sure we import modules that are used into the module_utils files that they are used in.
* Set ansible version in a more pythonic way for ziploader than we were doing in module replacer
* Make it possible to set the module compression as an inventory var
This may be necessary on systems where python has been compiled without
zlib compression.
* Refactoring of module_common code:
* module replacer only replaces values that make sense for that type of
file (example: don't attempt to replace python imports if we're in
a powershell module).
* Implement configurable shebang support for ziploader wrapper
* Implement client-side constants (for SELINUX_SPECIAL_FS and SYSLOG)
via environment variable.
* Remove strip_comments param as we're never going to use it (ruins line
numbering)
* Don't repeat ourselves about detecting REPLACER
* Add an easy way to debug
* Port test-module to the ziploader-aware modify_module()
* strip comments and blank lines from the wrapper so we send less over the wire.
* Comments cleanup
* Remember to output write the module line itself in powershell modules
* for line in lines strips the newlines so we have to add them back in
this fixes a bug in nxos shared module to not immediately send a \n when
the connection is made. this commit also localizes the prompt handling
to the nxos module
This commit address a number of minor updates the nxos shared module
* connect() is now lazy loaded
* parse inner output messages when errored
* code syntax cleanup
This commit fixes a situation where connection errors would be caught
but no useful information display. The connection error is now caught
and emitted in a call to fail_json
This fixes a minor bug in the nxos config module to ensure that both the
cli and nxapi transport return the running config as a string and not
a list object.
This addresses two issues with the nxos shared module. The first issue is
argument precedence checking. The module should prefer explicit arguments
over arguments passed vi the provider. This is now fixed to honor that
precedence. The second issue is collecting output from nxapi and returning
the response. Prior to this change the entire json structure was returned.
Now just the output is returned to align it better with cli based output
The provider argument accepts the set of device common arguments as a
dict object. Individual connection arguments can still be included and
take priority over the provider argument. This update includes additions
to the nxos doc fragment
This commit refactors the nxapi into a new shared module nxos that supports
connectivity over both ssh (cli) and nxapi. It supercedes the nxapi shared
module and removes it from module_utils. This commit also adds a
documentation fragement supporting the nxos shared module
