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
* removes connection functions refactored into connection
* updates ComplexDict and ComplexList objects to use with AnsibleModule
* updates modules to add new argument to ComplexList & ComplexDict
* updates all ios modules to support persistent socket
* adds ios action plugin to connect to device
* adds exec_command() to ios shared module
* fixes ios_config and ios_template local action
* update all unit test cases
* adds base test module for ios module testing
* returns support for prompt/response over cli
* now sends native dict instead of str command
* fixes issue with run_commands() in ios to jsonify request
* updates unit test cases
stdout lines are now available when certain exceptions occur
(Ref ansible/ansible#18241)
Also noticed that to_lines was essentially handled in
lib/ansible/plugins/action/__init__.py -- only difference was
it didn't handle a list. to_lines() could be removed across
network modules now, but this commit is only for ios_command.
Also adds disconnect() to ios_command that was added
to ios_config in #5247
IOS devices only support a single command output which is structured
text. This removes the ability to specify the command output format
when providing complex arguments to the commands
* 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.
The module would raise a KeyError trying to find the save_config key
which is not present in the argument_spec. This was caused by the
check_args() function. Since the ios shared argument spec isn't used
the check_args function is not needed and has been removed.
* using check mode will now block all commands except show commands
* module will no longer allow config mode commands
* check args for unused values and issue warning
