Upcoming Changes

[jvanderaa]

With ansible-core 2.11 (Ansible 4.0) there are changes that are needed to have compatibility with this new version of Ansible. To account for the new changes in Ansible we are looking to have a release of 3.0.0 coming out that will have breaking changes. The modules will be removing the need for the data parameter and moving every sub parameter of data up one level.

What to do

1. If you have production playbooks, please pin your version of networktocode.nautobot to <3.0.0 to make sure that your playbooks will account for this change.
2. Be prepared for some updates to happen

We regret that we need to make a significantly breaking change this early in the modules, but we believe that is the best thing to do for the long term.

The changes happening to the modules would have below. Note the locations of data_point1 and data_point2 are moving from being a subkey of data to being at the same level as token and url, removing the data key.

  token:
  url:
  data:
    data_point1:

is becoming
