stdout lines are now available when certain exceptions occur
(Ref ansible/ansible#18241)
Also noticed that to_lines was essentially handled in
lib/ansible/plugins/action/__init__.py -- only difference was
it didn't handle a list. to_lines() could be removed across
network modules now, but this commit is only for ios_command.
Also adds disconnect() to ios_command that was added
to ios_config in #5247
this fix will now handle loading a multiline banner on ios based
devices without hanging. It separates the processing of banners
from the remainder of the config
link #5318
* 'before' and 'after' are now only applied to 'lines'
* remove update argument
* update doc strings
* add path argument when performing config difference
When the configuration is compared and the results deserialized, the
dumps() function returns a string. This cohereces the return to a list
in case before and/or after needs to be applied
fixes 4707
* merge changes from ios shared module functions into ios_config.
* add src argument to provide path to config file
* add new choice to match used to ignore current running config
* add update argument with choices merge or check
* add backup argument to backup current running config to control host
* add defaults argument to control collection of config with or withoutdefaults
* add save argument to save current running config to startup config
* add state argument to control state of config file
* deprecated force argument, use match=none instead
This refactors the ios_config module to use the network module added
in 2.2 to simplify common network functions
new features
* add src, dest arguments for working with config
* results now return flag if the config was saved or not
* adds append argument for updating the dest file (when dest is used)
This commit address a bug in the ios_config module when using the
match: strict argument. When the argument is used, the module will
compare the configuration block same as match: exact which is not the
intended behavior. This commit updates the behavior to propertly handle
the strict argument.
