[proxmox] return vmid and taskid #7263

b- · 2023-09-15T02:42:35Z

SUMMARY

Proxmox uses an internal ID number (vmid) to refer to specific containers and virtual machines.

Ansible's community.general.proxmox module allows an LXC container to be created with an automatically-assigned vmid. However, presently (before this PR) it doesn't return the chosen ID. This means that the only way to programmatically delete a container that was programmatically created with an automatically-assigned ID involves string matching, string manipulation, and guesswork. (Some of the above logic already exists within the proxmox module, but I definitely don't trust the idea of deleting a VM based on an identifier that isn't even guaranteed unique!)

Additionally, long-lived tasks such as creating/starting/updating/deleting VMs and containers are given taskid numbers that show up in the audit log and can be used to reference the status of the task. The community.general.proxmox does use the taskid to keep track of dispatched tasks, but the module doesn't return it.

This PR adds vmid and taskid to the data returned by such actions, at least where it would make sense to do so. This way, for example, I can make a bunch of containers with automatically-assigned IDs and use Ansible's register function to reference them later in the play.

Being able to save the taskid may also help with other execution strategies, or for matching Ansible logs with Proxmox audit logs, or something. I'm not sure, really, but it seemed like a good idea to add it in while I was already there.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is my first contribution to Ansible, and probably my first time contributing Python code to any FOSS project! Please be gentle and be understanding if I missed anything.

if create succeeds, we want the vmid

Sorry for all the commits. I fixed the PEP8 errors that my code introduced.

Sorry, somehow I accidentally reverted something and just fixed it

Please note that now another sanity test is failing.

b- · 2023-09-16T20:37:19Z

I should have been running the sanity tests locally (at least scoped to proxmox) this entire time instead of assuming that my editor's built-in linter was good enough... 😒

But anyway, I did just that -- opened a terminal pane in my editor and ran, until ansible-test sanity proxmox ; do inotifywait --event modify plugins/modules/proxmox.py ; done while I edited the file.

I'm pretty sure this should be the last commit for this PR, and again I appreciate your patience!

Okay, so maybe just waiting for CI to run the tests was a terrible idea. I installed `inotifywait`, set up a venv for the tests, and in my editor's terminal pane I ran the following, letting it run every save until it exited: until ansible-test sanity proxmox ; do inotifywait --event modify plugins/modules/proxmox.py done

felixfontein · 2023-09-17T11:30:19Z

At least the sanity tests seem to be happy ;-) If nobody objects, I'll merge this at the end of this upcoming week.
