v12.1.0

Minor Changes

• Add significant number of testcases across multiple modules that were not covered due to which sonar coverage failures were being caused
• All legacy modules - add emit_warnings() call from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.utils before module.exit_json() to pop and emit the warnings key via module.warn(), suppressing the deprecation warning raised by ansible-core 2.23+.
• All legacy modules that already imported from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.utils - extend the existing import block to include emit_warnings.
• The following files - plugins/cliconf/nxos.py, plugins/httpapi/nxos.py, plugins/module_utils/network/nxos/nxos.py, plugins/module_utils/network/nxos/facts/snmp_server/snmp_server.py - replace deprecated ansible.module_utils._text and ansible.module_utils.common._collections_compat imports with their modern equivalents (ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters and collections.abc).
• nxos_hsrp_interfaces - In replaced and overridden states, negate removed sub-options for preempt before applying the desired configuration. This aligns command generation with NX-OS additive CLI behavior when only part of a preempt delay setting is specified.

Bugfixes

• Fix nxos_nxapi integration test assertions to use boolean conditions compatible with ansible-core 2.19+.
• Fix nxos_static_routes rtt integration test assert missing in result.commands for ansible-core 2.19+.
• Fix nxos_telemetry integration test asserts to use boolean Jinja expressions without template delimiters for ansible-core 2.19+.
• Fix nxos_user auth integration test assert for results.failed.
• Fix nxos_user basic integration test weak-password warnings assertions to be conditional on warnings presence for ansible-core 2.21+.
• nxos_facts - fix KeyError when show interface text output has admin preamble before the first interface on multi-module chassis (#1076).
• nxos_hsrp_interfaces - Update preempt and priority templates to render optional sub-options independently, enabling per-key command generation.
• nxos_l2_interfaces - Fix replaced and overridden states for trunk allowed VLANs to set the full desired VLAN list instead of incremental add/remove.
• nxos_lag_interfaces - fix 'NoneType' object is not iterable when using replaced state on a port-channel with no members (#819).
