icx_config does not backup the running config
SUMMARY
icx_config doesn't appear to backup the config as documented. Running a task to backup the config should save the file and return a variable saying where and what the file was. Instead it saves nothing and returns the running config as a string inside a variable named backup
ISSUE TYPE
- Bug Report
COMPONENT NAME
icx_config
ANSIBLE VERSION
ansible 2.10.8
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/home/keble/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 3.6.9 (default, Jan 26 2021, 15:33:00) [GCC 8.4.0]
CONFIGURATION
ANSIBLE_NOCOWS(/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg) = True
DEFAULT_HOST_LIST(/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg) = ['/etc/ansible/hosts']
DEFAULT_REMOTE_USER(/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg) = ansdeploy
HOST_KEY_CHECKING(/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg) = False
INTERPRETER_PYTHON(/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg) = auto
OS / ENVIRONMENT
Ubuntu 18.04 Ruckus ICX 7150 running v08.0.95bcT211
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Run the below playbook against a Ruckus ICX switch
- hosts: switch
vars:
ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
ansible_network_os: community.network.icx
ansible_user: ...
ansible_password: ...
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_method: enable
ansible_become_password: ...
tasks:
- name: Save Ruckus config
community.network.icx_config:
backup: yes
EXPECTED RESULTS
According to documentation, it should save the backup file into the root of the playbook or role directory. It also should return 'backup_path' as a variable to show where it had saved the backup.
ACTUAL RESULTS
As far as I can tell, it's not saving the backup file anywhere. It also doesn't return a backup path, but instead returns the entire config from the switch as a string in a variable named 'backup'.

Same with voss_config. Seems related.

I'm having the exact same issue as @sjwk using icx_config. The backup operation claims to run successfully, but the backup file is never created and the entire running config text is returned in a variable called "backup".
