show running-config interface {interface} parser not getting acl name on IOS/IOS-XE

See original GitHub issue

The following parser commands don’t return the correct output for ‘acl’ if access-list is only configured in either ‘in’ or ‘out’ direction on interface:

"show running-config | section ^interface"
"show running-config interface {interface_name}"

See details below:

Output of parser for “show running-config | section ^interface”:

If access-list is only configured in ‘in’ direction:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/27
 ip access-group TEST in

Then parser returns an empty acl: 'GigabitEthernet1/0/27': {'acl': {}}

But the expected result is: 'GigabitEthernet1/0/27': {'acl': {'inbound': {'acl_name': 'TEST', 'direction': 'in'}}}

If access-list is only configured in ‘out’ direction:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/28
 ip access-group TEST out

Then parser returns an acl: 'GigabitEthernet1/0/28': {'acl': {'inbound': {'acl_name': 'TEST', 'direction': 'in'}, 'outbound': {'acl_name': 'TEST', 'direction': 'out'}}}

But the expected result is: 'GigabitEthernet1/0/28': {'acl': {'outbound': {'acl_name': 'TEST', 'direction': 'out'}}}

Output of parser for “show running-config interface GigabitEthernet1/0/27” {'interfaces': {'GigabitEthernet1/0/27': {'acl': {}}}}
