Exception was raised when trying to use ssh-agent for authentication to
ios devices. This fix enables ssh-agent and enable use of password
protected ssh keys. There is one additional fix to capture authentication
exceptions nicely.
* 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 enhancement will cause the module to connect to the remote ios device
the first time a command wants to run instead of building a connection
immediately
Prompt search logic is now localized to the ios shared module instead
of using the common regexps in the shell module. This resolves a number
of problems with ios modules functioning properly
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
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
This update refactor the ios shared module to use the new shell shared
library instead of issh and cli. It also adds the ios documentation
fragment to be used when building ios based modules.
This patch fixes a bug in module_utils/ios.py where the the wrong shared
module arguments are being generated. This bug prevented the shared module
from operating correctly. This patch should be generally applied.
