Variable Return Variables.

[David Blackburn]

Hi

I am currently using the ec2_customer_gateway module, and the variable names it returns are inconsistent, if a gateway exists its plural if not then singular.  The problem is I call out this variable later in my code.

CGW doesn't exist.

        "gateway": {

            "customer_gateway": {

                "bgp_asn": "65248",

                "customer_gateway_id": "cgw-8c03da92",

CGW already exists.

        "gateway": {

            "customer_gateways": [

                {

                    "bgp_asn": "12345",

                    "customer_gateway_id": "cgw-8c03da92",

Later in my code I reference the customer_gateway[s] list which could either be customer_gateways or customer_gateway, this appears to be a bug in the boto code or aws api but the only way I can think of getting around this is by creating a dummy CGW prior to the real creation and then taking the dummy CGW down after creation.  Anyone have a creative way to get around this problem?

#    - name: create vpn connection

#      ec2_vpc_vpn_connection:

#        aws_access_key: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.access_key }}"

#        aws_secret_key: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.secret_key }}"

#        security_token: "{{ assumed_role.sts_creds.session_token }}"

#        name: "VPN {{ vpcname }} {{ item.gateway.customer_gateways[0].customer_gateway_id }}"

#        type: ipsec.1

#        region: "{{ region }}"

#        customer_gateway_id: "{{ item.gateway.customer_gateways[0].customer_gateway_id }}"

#        vpn_gateway_id: "{{ vgw.vgw.id }}"

#        static_routes_only: False

#        wait: False

#        wait_timeout: 300

#      register: vpn

#      with_items:

#        "{{ cgw.results }}"

Thanks
