We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
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
The caching of commands in CommandRunner is providing no useful feature
and causing problems. This removes the code and simply returns the
requested command results.
Some old remnants of code from the refactor of netcli was left over as
reported in #17408. This commit removes the old code as it isn't need
and in fact wasnt doing anything
Exception thrown when using cli transport in eos but piping the command
through json
* eos now checks for `| json` and automatically changes the output type
* adds back import of Command object
tested on EOS 4.15.4F
* 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.)
