eval can have security consequences. It doesn't look bad here but it
does introduce unnecessary complexity and would make it harder if we
ever want to use static analysis to detect and prohibit eval. So we
should get rid of it.
Note: this could be even more efficient if we combined the checks into
a single condition instead of looping but that does change the error
messages a bit. For instance:
- for arg in ('name', 'linode_id'):
- if not eval(arg):
+ if not (name and linode_id):
+ module.fail_json(msg='name and linode_id are required for active state')
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
