It's possible that if the module has a low-level failure, such as
"unable to open shell", or something else in the action plugin that
stdout and stdout_lines will not be returned.
Update the documentation to clarify this point.
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
There as an invalid key in the command dict that would cause failure
using prompts. This changes the key from response to answer which is
what is expected by network_cli
This completes the refactor of the nxos modules to use the persistent
connection. It also updates all of the nxos modules to use the
new connection module and preserves use of nxapi as well.
* commands argument now accepts a dict arguments[1]
* waitfor has been renamed to wait_for with an alias to waitfor
* only show commands are allowd when check mode is specified
* config mode is no longer allowed in the command stack
* add argument match with valid values any, all
[1] The commands argument will now accept a dict argument that can
specifiy the output format of the command. To specify a dict argument
use the form of { command: <str>, output: <str>, prompt: <str>,
response: <str> }. Command and output are required arguments. Output
accepts valid values text and json.
This update adds exception handling to catch errors when trying to parse
command output to json. It also removes the dependency on importing json
opting to use the AnsibleModule methods instead
This modifies the return values to make them consistent across all
network command modules. The module now returns stdout, stdout_lines
and failed_conditionals
This adds a new module nxos_command that can be used to send arbitrary
commands to NXOS devices. The module includes an argument that allows
the responses to be evaluated and causes the module not to return
control to the playbook until a set of conditions has been met.
