bugfixes:
- win_file - Fix issue when managing hidden files and directories - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/42466
Fixed win_file crash with hidden files (#52584) * Fixed crash with hidden files added "-force" parameter on "Get-Item" cmdlet. this is needed to get file info if the file is "hidden" without this option modules like win_file, win_template, win_copy crashes on hidden files. this is because with "test-path" it sees that the file exists, but "get-item" can't get the file info. for more information on "-force option": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-item * Add changelog and integration tests * fix tests for older Windows versions 2019-03-08 06:32:32 +01:00			`bugfixes:`
