* Add dnf and yum commands in "Installation" section
Even though the command is very simple, it's good to be able to c&p it.
There were already commands for apt, emerge, pip, even direct installation
from git, so adding Fedora/RHEL/CentOS examples is reasonable.
Since yum is not installed by default on any supported Fedora releases
(F26 and F28 currently), recommend dnf.
* Tiny edit
Empty __init__ will allow us to use python namespaces with all of these
files. That may be something we want to take advantage of for allowign
them to be expanded by user dirs. Also might be needed for AnsiballZ or
other wrapper enhancements in the future.

The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the WS-Addressing Action URI in the request is not compatible with the resource.
avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.
Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.
added 'cacheable set_facts' to precedence docs
'ansible_facts_cacheable' -> '_ansible_facts_cacheable' (made 'private')
We made this change a couple of months ago, deprecating community.html in favor of community/index.html and its full guide, but the change was never made here in the index.

To do so, handling of pip requirements was updated to install each
set of requirements separately and then run a verification pass to
make sure there are no conflicts between requirements.

moved most of lookup docs to plugin section
* Copy edits
* Fixed typos
* Clarified wording
- old functionality is still available direct lookup use, the following are equivalent
with_nested: [[1,2,3], ['a','b','c']]
loop: "{{lookup('nested', [1,2,3], ['a','b','c'])}}"
- avoid squashing with 'loop:'
- fixed test to use new intenal attributes
- removed most of 'lookup docs' as these now reside in the plugins
this should allow user to control how they want the playbook dirs inspected
for additional vars, default now reverts to 2.3 behaviour (top).
corrected paths order
minor doc reword
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs
It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.
Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.
Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.
* Edits
* typo
It's almost always preferable to clone by way of https:// rather than
using the bare git:// protocol. Not only does https:// provide
stronger guarantees it also plays nicer with corporate proxies, etc.
* Update playbooks_blocks.rst
The rescue section documentation should be clear that successful completion of a rescue section will override other error handling behavior.
* more precise rescue docs
explains in detail the consequences of successful rescue
* updated docs
- for devs:
- added inventory/vars section
- made some updates to general section and other plugin types
- for users:
- added 'user' plugin section to start describing the plugins
- docs on types, what they are and how to use
- removed ref to deleted AUTHORS file
- corrected several typos/headers
- added descriptions to config.rst template
- ignore generated files for cli/plugins and config
- remove new generated files on `make clean`
- moved details from devguid and intro doc to plugin specific pages
- pretied up lookup notes
- changed precedence ref to not conflict config
- removed duplicate config data, as config is autogenerated and up to date
- put new plugins under playbooks
- added `pass` cause rst/python dislikes fractions
- removed dupe in .gitignore, alpha sorted to avoid moar dupes
- added try cause rst/python freaks out
* generate plugins into their own dir
only do plugins that support docs
use toctree from main plugins page
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.
If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.
This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.
Generate rst docs for plugins
Based on rst generated for modules. But generated plugin
docs go into docs/docsite/rst/plugins/$PLUGIN_TYPE/plugin_name.rst
( docs/docsite/rst/plugins/connection/ssh.py for ex)
* move plugins docs to rst/*_plugins/ subdirs for namespace
* Only gen support pages for modules for now.
* Add generated plugin docs to gitignore* add list_*_plugins templates
* support MODULES/PLUGINS filters for make htmldocs
Add a 'PLUGINS=ssh' filter env var like MODULES to filter plugins to build docs for.
* fixup 'historical' version_added, skip plugins/loader.py
* Fix plugins_by_support ref link to new plugins/*/ location
* use :ref: for common_return_values, allow empty version_added
* warnings on missing doc info
* add a prefix to _random_choice
It was colliding with the target for random_choice plugin
Addtions to porting_guide_2.4
* deprecated notice for win_package return values
* Added vars plugins, config api, inventory plugins. These were mostly backwards compatible.
Added notes for users and devs to check out new features once i write the 'feature docs' I'll
come back and link to them from here
* Porting Guides for Ansible Versions
Improve the user facing documentation.
Tell people what changes they need to make
* More porting guides

Due to lack of time we pushed this back to 2.5 so that the facts in the namespace could be shortened.
* Python version
* Remove FIXMEs - move to seperate PR
* Consistency and document treatment of default bool values
* Document that default bool values can be any Ansible recognized bool.
choose the one that reads better in context

* Edit for clarity
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.
It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.
* Add explicit targets for and update refs
Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.
Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)
* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml
Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.
* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples
py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.
Fixes#29060
Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.
Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.
However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string. Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.
* Use a rst glossary for playbooks_keywords docs
* Add a 'Task' and 'Tasks' to glossary.
* Update keywords desciptions,
* use :term: rst ref, some quoting

* update vault docs that use :option:
* Edits based on
6e34ea6242 and
a3afc78535
* add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py
The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field
which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.
Fixes building ansible-config man page.
* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man
use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
first line being indented.
* Add refs to cli command actions
To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:
:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
or:
:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:
:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
or most of the time:
:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
Since json_query treats backticks as delimiters for literals,
some of the examples in the json_query docs can be made a little
simpler. Rather than replacing such examples, demonstrate the
alternative
The variable was pointing to a file with a `.cer` extension but the curl command downloads a `.pem` file which makes executions of the bash script fail

In case we build docs offline, we want to have a cached copy of the
documentation refs that are in the intersphinx docs we reference.
Update those to the lattest versions from their respective upstreams
1. Copied over content from existing rst/community.rst page (which will be refactored once all these pages are in.)
2. For features, pointed to the Proposals section, which we should probably leave in ansible/proposals, where it is actively used.
* Adapt azure_rm_resource_group to azure 2.0.0 + azure Cli support

Unfortunately, the Github interface does no longer allow me to edit a file in the GUI and then branch it in my personal clone for making a PR. It now only offers to make a PR using a branch on the ansible repository :-(
So committing this directly instead against my will, but per the guidelines this appears to be safe. Fingers crossed...
We are reserving the _ identifier for i18n work. Code should use the
identifier dummy for dummy variables instead.
This test is currently skipped as someone needs to generate the list of
files which are currently out of compliance before this can be turned
on.
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:
- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
using special value "".
* Minor edits
Wording tweak
* Create get_exception and wildcard import code-smell tests
* Add more detail to boilerplate and no-basestring descriptions
* Remove the no-list-cmp test as the pylint undefined-variable test covers it
* ManageIQ: manageiq_user module, module utils and doc_fragment
ManageIQ is an open source management platform for Hybrid IT.
This change is adding:
- manageiq_user module, responsible for user management in ManageIQ
- manageiq utils
- manageiq doc_fragment
* Handle import error
* Use formatting options
* group parameter is required
* changed doesn't need to be an attribute
* resource dictionary should contain values which isn't None
* move from monitoring to remote-management
* Use ManageIQ nameing convention
* Do not set defauts in arguments
* Use idempotent state parameter instead of action
* Check import error in the manageiq util class
* Update the miq documentation
* rename the connection configuration from miq to manageiq_connection
* All messeges start with non cap, fix typos, add examples, rename vars
* more typos fixes
* Make sure we insert only strings to logs by using % formating
* use suboptions keyword for the manageiq connection
* do not log the managiq connection struct (it include sensitive information like username and password)
* add missing from __future__
* ahh, wrong no-log line
* Use sub options
* Added placeholder topics for community info
* Setup community section index.
* Initial move of triage process docs.
* Typo/test
* Removed triage topic from index.
This allows a single template to be evaluated with different values in
the same task. For example, with a template like 'x:{{a}}', one could do
something like this:
- foo:
a: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=foo[item])) }}"
b: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=bar[item])) }}"
with_items:
- x
- y
…and "a" and "b" would expand to different strings based on what we
passed in to the template lookup.
* Add command_timeout timer that defines the amount
of time to wait for a command or RPC call before
timing out.
* Remove connect_retries and connect_interval configuration
varaible and replace it with connect_retry_timeout to control
the timeout value of connection to local scoket.
* Make required changes to netowrk action plugins and relevant
network files in module_utils.
* Required documentation changes.
* Added initial developing module doc for Windows
* Added to dev index, made formatting changes and moved obsolete docs
* changes based on PR feedback
* some typos and extra information
* Minor updates

* update template/text to remove legacy `#WANT_JSON`/`#POWERSHELL_COMMON`
* use per-execution envvars for ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES instead of stateful
* fix up minor sanity check issue
* Revert "Update conventions in azure modules"
This reverts commit 30a688d8d3.
* Revert "Allow specific __future__ imports in modules"
This reverts commit 3a2670e0fd.
* Revert "Fix wildcard import in galaxy/token.py"
This reverts commit 6456891053.
* Revert "Fix one name in module error due to rewritten VariableManager"
This reverts commit 87a192fe66.
* Revert "Disable pylint check for names existing in modules for test data"
This reverts commit 6ac683ca19.
* Revert "Allow ini plugin to load file using other encoding than utf8."
This reverts commit 6a57ad34c0.
We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3. Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.
Also switch tables in the validate_modules documentation to simple table format
- New option for ini plugins: encoding
- Add a new option encoding to _get_file_contents
- Use replace option in test/runner/lib/util.py when calling decode on stdout/err
output when diff have non-utf8 sequences
* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.
