cloudformation_facts module in ansible 2.10 returns StackStatus in stack_description. Previously was stack_status

[mkyrianov]

SUMMARY

cloudformation_facts module in ansible 2.10 returns StackStatus in stack_description. Previously was stack_status
In ansible 2.9:
cfn_stack.ansible_facts.cloudformation[cfn_stack_name].stack_description.stack_status is defined
In ansible 2.10:
cfn_stack.ansible_facts.cloudformation[cfn_stack_name].stack_description.stack_status is not defined
Instead ansible 2.10 has this dict key defined:
cfn_stack.ansible_facts.cloudformation[cfn_stack_name].stack_description.StackStatus

confusion and misuse , use the ``combine`` filter explicitly instead. This feature will be removed in version 2.13. 
Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: "Get a resources list in '{{ cfn_stack_name }}' stack"
  cloudformation_facts:
    stack_name: "{{ cfn_stack_name }}"
    stack_resources: "yes"
    region: "{{ ansible_ec2_placement_region }}"
  register: cfn_stack

- debug:
    msg: "{{ cfn_stack }}"

- name: "Get current stack status of '{{ cfn_stack_name }}' stack"
  set_fact:
    # yamllint disable-line rule:line-length
    cfn_stack_status: "{{ cfn_stack.ansible_facts.cloudformation[cfn_stack_name].stack_description.stack_status }}"

EXPECTED RESULTS

cfn_stack.ansible_facts.cloudformation[cfn_stack_name].stack_description.stack_status variable is defined and return stack actual status

ACTUAL RESULTS

TASK [aws : Get current stack status of 'test-deploy-telemetry' stack] ******************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => 
  msg: |-
    The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'stack_status'
  
    The error appears to be in '/home/ubuntu/cosops-ansible/roles/aws/tasks/cfn_facts.yaml': line 36, column 3, but may
    be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
  
    The offending line appears to be:
  
  
    - name: "Get current stack status of '{{ cfn_stack_name }}' stack"
      ^ here
    We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
    missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
    start a value. For instance:
  
        with_items:
          - {{ foo }}
  
    Should be written as:
  
        with_items:
          - "{{ foo }}"

This regression is unfortunate. To preserve the compatibility with the two versions we need now to expose the two keys in the result.

@mkyrianov This issue can be resolved by using cloudformation_info instead of cloudformation_facts. cloudformation_facts module is deprecated from amazon.aws 3.0.0 onwards. Please run your task with cloudformation_info module and let us know the result.

The issue is fixed with cloudformation_info module from amazon.aws 3.0.0. Hence closing this issue.
