* Ziploader proof of concept (jimi-c)
* Cleanups to proof of concept ziploader branch:
* python3 compatible base64 encoding
* zipfile compression (still need to enable toggling this off for
systems without zlib support in python)
* Allow non-wildcard imports (still need to make this recusrsive so that
we can have module_utils code that imports other module_utils code.)
* Better tracebacks: module filename is kept and module_utils directory
is kept so that tracebacks show the real filenames that the errors
appear in.
* Make sure we import modules that are used into the module_utils files that they are used in.
* Set ansible version in a more pythonic way for ziploader than we were doing in module replacer
* Make it possible to set the module compression as an inventory var
This may be necessary on systems where python has been compiled without
zlib compression.
* Refactoring of module_common code:
* module replacer only replaces values that make sense for that type of
file (example: don't attempt to replace python imports if we're in
a powershell module).
* Implement configurable shebang support for ziploader wrapper
* Implement client-side constants (for SELINUX_SPECIAL_FS and SYSLOG)
via environment variable.
* Remove strip_comments param as we're never going to use it (ruins line
numbering)
* Don't repeat ourselves about detecting REPLACER
* Add an easy way to debug
* Port test-module to the ziploader-aware modify_module()
* strip comments and blank lines from the wrapper so we send less over the wire.
* Comments cleanup
* Remember to output write the module line itself in powershell modules
* for line in lines strips the newlines so we have to add them back in
this enhancement will cause the module to connect to the remote ios device
the first time a command wants to run instead of building a connection
immediately
this fixes a bug in nxos shared module to not immediately send a \n when
the connection is made. this commit also localizes the prompt handling
to the nxos module
The network config and template modules share a set of common functions that
have been pulled into the netcfg shared module. This is backwards compatible
with the current implemention in the modules.
Prompt search logic is now localized to the ios shared module instead
of using the common regexps in the shell module. This resolves a number
of problems with ios modules functioning properly
On none-Linux systems `get_distribution()` returns `None`, which fails in `fetch_url`, because the return value of `get_distribution()` is not checked before calling `lower()` on the result.
This commit address a number of minor updates the nxos shared module
* connect() is now lazy loaded
* parse inner output messages when errored
* code syntax cleanup
* Make documentation examples into code blocks
* Make code to call the subsets more general.
* Made min subset always execute (cannot disable it).
* Use a passed in modules parameter rather than global modules. This is needed for ziploader
* Remove unneeded __init__()
* Remove uneeded multiple inheritance from a base class
* gather_facts is now a list type
This commit adds a new feature to allow implementations of shell to
specify the command prompt regexp to be used. It allows adds a new
kwarg at instantiation to kick the remote device with a carriage return.
By default the kickstart flag is true but can be disabled by passing
kickstart=False.
This commit address to issues in the eos shard module. The first one
is a bug fix for returning the running config when the transport is eapi.
The shared module will now return config text instead of an object. The
second is a optimization that delays when the eos module connects to the
remote devices. This provies a performance enhancement when using
ssh since the module doesn't default to connecting immediately
