* checks if signal hander is set and sets it if not (will be set if coming
from ansible-connection)
* will now timeout long running commands based on DEFAULT_TIMEOUT setting
In some cases it is desirable to have a send only function that doesn't
wait for the response from the CLI (such as reloading a device). This
adds a new key to the command json string sendonly that will
achieve this behavior.
Connection plugin can define default action plugin to use by providing
action_handler instance variable. This will override the default
action plugin normal
This adds back the change to the network_cli plugin. Ths change adds
the ensure_connect decorator to the open_shell() method to make sure
the connection is valid before trying to open a shell.
The issue was due to the addition of the decorator that will call
_connect() when there is no connection. The _connect() method should
have been mocked in the test case. This commit fixes the test
case as well
Change was originally reverted in c414ded69a
* removes superfluous timeout kwargs from open_shell()
* cleans up play_context become check
* adds check for ssh session and calls _connect() if needed
This updates the network_cli connection plugin to attempt to automatically
determine the remote device os. The device network os discovery can
be overridden by setting the ansible_network_os value.
* adds new connection plugin `network_cli` which builds on paramiko
* adds new plugin `terminal` used for manipulating network_cli terminals
* adds new field to play_context `network_os` settable as ansible_network_os
This commit adds the plugins necesary to establish a persistent cli connection
to network devices of ssh. It builds on the paramiko connection plugin
to create a shell environment that will persistent through ansible-connection.
The `newtork_cli` plugin then uses the network_os in the instance of
PlayContext to load the appropriate network OS environment plugin for
handling opening and closing of shells as well as privilege escalation.
