[ovirt-users] Request for oVirt Ansible modules testing feedback

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

Interesting work and thank you for this stuff. I played with some 
modules (ovirt_vms_facts) to get some vms name for example.

  * [root at acore ovirt]# ansible-playbook All_Vms_list.yml
  * with
       - name: List vms
         ovirt_vms_facts:
           auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
           pattern: name=test_cloud
           fetch_nested: true
           nested_attributes: name
         register: ovirt_vms

       - shell: echo "{{ ovirt_vms.name }} > vms_name" // doesn't work

  *    - shell: echo "{{ ovirt_vms }} > vms_name // returns an unicode
    json file, that's surely why we can't parse it. Can you help me to
    solve this into the ovirt_vms_facts.py file?

  * I have no such problem with ovirt_snaphots_module and I can easily
    get the snaphot.id variable.... but:
      o I had to manually copy the ovirt_snaphsots_module because it is
        not present on the git tree. This is very curious: we can find
        it here
        http://ovirt-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/ovirt_snapshots_module.htm,
        but it is not available on the main ansible git tre.
      o On the doc, return values are not described

For the moment, my opinion is that ansible can't be as much convinient 
as the current CLI, e.g. ovirt-shell -E "list vms", out of the box. Is 
there a really reason to deprecate it?
