Role definitions typically require params to be different from those
which are specified as FieldAttributes on the playbook classes used
for roles, however a certain subset should be allowed (typically those
used for connection stuff).
Fixes#14095
The dep chain for roles created during the compile step had bugs, in
which the dep chain was overwriten and the original tasks in the role
were not assigned a dep chain. This lead to problems in determining
whether roles had already run when in a "diamond" structure, and in
some cases roles were not correctly getting variables from parents.
Fixes#14046
by moving to en-bloc unicode conversion to act on scripts stdout
Both python-json and simplejson always return unicode strings when using
their loads() method on unicode strings. This is true at least since
2009. This makes checking each substring unnecessary, because we do not
need to recursively check the strings contained in the inventory dict
later one-by-one
This commit makes parsing of large dynamic inventory at least 2 seconds
faster.

This prevents a bug where the existing cache outside of the class
is not cleared when creating a new Inventory object. This only really
affects people using the API directly right now, but wanted to fix it
to prevent weird errors from popping up.
Instead of bombing out of the strategy, we now properly mark hosts failed
so that the play iterator can handle block rescue/always properly.
Fixes#14024
When using a playbook-level include, we now catch any errors raised during
the conditional evaluation step and set a flag to indicate we need to pass
those conditionals on to the included play (most likely because they contain
inventory variables for evaluation).
Fixes#14003
This causes problems when fetching parent attributes, as the include
was being skipped because the parent block would fetch the attribute
from the parent play first.
Fixes#13872
this was taken out in an effort to default to the user's shell but creates issues as this is not known ahead of time
and its painful to set executable and shell_type for all servers, it should only be needed for those that restrict the user
to specific shells and when /bin/sh is not available. raw and command may still bypass this by explicitly passing None.
fixes#13882
still conditional
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
New argument `provider` added to the ios shared module that provides
the ability to pass all of the common ios arguments as a dict. This commit
includes some minor bugfixes and refactoring of names. It also includes
udpates to the ios documentation fragment for the new argument
Adds a new argument `provider` to the eos shared module and updates the
eos doc fragment. This commit includes some additional minor fixes and
code refactors for naming conventions. The `provider` argument allows the
shared module arguments to be passed as a dict object instead of having
to pass each argument invididually.
This commit adds a new argument `provider` to the iosxr shared module that
allows common connection parameters to be passed as a dict object. The
constraints on the args still applies. This commit also updates the iosxr
doc fragment.
