When unittesting this we found that the platform selecting class
hierarchies weren't working in all cases. If the subclass was directly
created (ie: LinuxHardware()), then it would use its inherited __new__()
to try to create itself. The inherited __new__ would look for
subclasses and end up calling its own __new__() again. This would
recurse endlessly. The new code detects when we want to find a subclass
to create (when the base class is used, ie: Hardware()) vs when to
create the class itself (when the subclass is used, ie:
LinuxHardware()).
uri:
follow_redirects: no
Will lead yaml to set follow_redirects=False. This is problematic when
the module parameter is not a boolean value but a string. For instance:
follow_redirects = dict(required=False, default='safe', choices=['all', 'safe', 'none', 'yes', 'no']),
Our parameter validation code ends up getting follow_redirects="False"
instead of "no". The 100% fix is for the user to quote their strings in
playbooks like:
uri:
follow_redirects: "no"
But we can fix quite a few common cases by trying to switch "False" back
into the string that it was specified as. We only do this if there is
only one correct choices value that could have been specified. In the
follow_redirects example, a value of "True" only maps back to "yes" and
a value of "False" only maps back to "no" so we can do this. If choices
also contained "on" and "off" then we couldn't map back safely and would
need to force the module author to change the module to handle this
case.
Fixes parts of the following PRs:

The module level function defs for gcdns_connect() and
gce_connect() provide a default arg for 'provider' that
references into the libcloud module. If the libcloud
modules were not installed, the gce/gcdns python modules
would throw ImportError.
Let the provider arg default to None and if not provided,
set it to the default libcloud.compute.types.Provider.*
value if the modules are installed.
The lack of a comma caused the statement to always evaluate as a
`TypeError` when python interpreted `value (list, tuple, dict)` to call
value with the arguments list, tuple, and dict.
This is a refactoring of the existing GCE utility module to support other projects on Google Cloud Platform.
The previous gce.py module was hard-coded specifically for GCE, and attempting to use it with other projects in GCP failed.
See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15918#issuecomment-220165913 for more detail.
This has also been an issue for others in the past, although they've handled it by simply
duplicating some of the logic of gce.py in their own modules.
- The existing gce.py module was renamed to gcp.py, and modified to remove any
imports or other code that refers to libcloud.compute or GCE (the GCE_* params were
retained for compatibility). I also renamed the gce_connect function to gcp_connect,
and modified the function signature to make supplying a provider, driver, and agent
information mandatory.
- A new gce.py module was created to handle connectivity to GCE. It imports the
appropriate libcloud.compute providers and drivers, and then passes them on
to gcp_connect in gcp.py. The constants and function signatures are the same
as the old gce.py, so compatibility with existing modules is retained.
- A new gcdns.py module was created to support PR ansible/ansible-modules-extras#2252
for two new Google Cloud DNS modules, and to demonstrate support for a non-GCE
Google Cloud service. It follows the same basic structure as the new gce.py module,
but imports from libcloud.dns instead.
* add load_config() for loading a set of configuration commands
* add load_candidate() function for loading a candidate config
* updates shared module to provide NetworKModule instead of get_module
* fixes Cli transport implementation for 2.2 refactor
* updates ios documentation fragments with new options
* diff functions now split out for easier troubleshooting
* added dumps() function to serialize config objects to strings
* difference() can now expand all blocks instead of just singluar blocks
includes changes from PR ansible/ansible#16636 and refactors for the
NetworkModule changes
new features
* ios now supports transport=restcon will additional arguments
* ModuleStub refactored into common network shared module
* import temporary get_module() function (to be removed prior to 2.2 final)
This is a temporary change to keep the get_module() function until all
of the network module refactoring is completed to avoid breaking them
in devel. The get_module() function should not be used and will be
removed before 2.2 final.
* Update IOS with new NetworkModule
* Remove redundant EOS code
* `authorize` can get rolled into NetCli
* Fix up IOS to where EOS is.
* Update IOSXR for NetworkModule
* collections is unnecessary
The `boto3_conn` function requires a module argument, and calls
`module.fail_json` if the connection doesn't receive enough arguments.
In non-module settings like inventory scripts, there is no module to be
passed.
The `boto3_inventory_conn` function takes the same arguments except for
`module`, and both call _boto3_conn which doesn't require a module be
passed.
