* Move gather_facts action outside of vmware_guest module
* Move facts gathering method to vmware.py library
* vmware_guest use some vmware.py library methods
* vmware.py lib: fix some PEP 8 issues
* Move snapshot actions to vmware_guest_snapshot
* Move common snapshot facts to vmware.py library
Changes missing from a poor merge probably, but also a few new things.
- Reordered the examples from important (often used) to less important
(fewer used)
- Remove the new_name: option and replace it with the uuid/name
combination for renaming + added example
- Added an example using the VM uuid instead of the VM name
- Also check whether the password is non-empty (rogue merge)
- Wait for all tasks to finish (to be sure the new facts reflect the
state)
- Ensure that on failure we still set the change-bit
- Moved a set of functions that are unused (related to transfering
files to guest, or running commands) to module_utils
- search entity by path
- search vm based on folder
- search for a vm based on given id ( uuid/name/dns_name/ip/inventory_path)
- search for a cluster by name, in a given datacenter (optionally)
- search for objects of a given type in a folder
Note: instance uuid is unique to a VM
* 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
