This addresses a problem when *_config or *_template network modules are
being used in roles. The module will error with the above message. This
fixes that problem
fixedansible/ansible-modules-core#4840
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.
The change is needed to support the multiple include statements
inside the jinja2 template file, as in '{% include ['another.j2'] %}'.
statement. I need this capability, as OpenSwitch `switch` role needs
to handle multiple *.j2 files and supporting the include statement
inside jinja2 file is essential, otherwise I need to combine multiple
template files into a single file, which easily causes conflicts
between developers working on different parts of the teamplate, ports
and interface.
The net_config local action handles templating for network configuration
file. It will also allow network device configurations to be backed up
to the control host
Note: this plugin was originally named net_config but has been refactored to
net_template
