* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.

This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
* Added basic equivalent to PowerShell modules
* changes based on latest review

* node parameter: fix default value
'rabbit' is the default value mentioned in the module documentation.
- Add support for installing specific variants of a port.
- Add support for using yaml lists with 'name' parameter, rather than comma-separated lists.
- Add to and clarify documentation and examples.
- Use Macports nomenclature:
- s/package/port/g
- Rename update_cache to sync_ports but keep update_cache as an alias. Remove undocumented update-cache alias.
- Remove undocumented 'pkg' alias for 'name'. Replace with 'port' alias and document it.
- Print stdout and stderr output if `port sync` fails.
- Print stderr output, rather than stdout, if `port install/uninstall/activate/deactivate` fail.
* Resolve issues in NetApp E-Series Host module
The E-Series host module had some bugs relating to the update/creation
of host definitions when iSCSI initiators when included in the
configuration. This patch resolves this and other minor issues with
correctly detecting updates.
There were also several minor issues found that were causing issues with
truly idepotent updates/changes to the host definition.
This patch also provides some unit tests and integration tests to help
catch future issues in these areas.
fixes#28272
* Improve NetApp E-Series Host module testing
The NetApp E-Series Host module integration test lacked feature test
verification to verify the changes made to the storage array.
The NetApp E-Series rest api was used to verify host create, update, and
remove changes made to the NetApp E-Series storage arrays.
* Correct the default doc for attached in ec2_eni
Also corrected a typo in the summary
* Address ansible-test sanity error about E324
* Fix and remove the E325 suppression for ec2_eni
* Changed Foreman timeout to be setable via a parameter
Added a Parameter to set the timout to wait for the started Foreman actions
by the user instead of using the hard coded 1000 Seconds
* katello module screamed for more docu :)
* fix docu + some ci findings
made docu better and moved chices in relations to other options to the description
* added a quote to description and removed wrong combination of param product
* Removed choices from params
also removed katello from a ignore file
Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

* Documentation change for resizefs
Changed documentation to match the default value of resizefs set in the code.
Added a note on the resizefs use on the example utilizing it.
* Remove test now it validates fine
* Update dnsimple-python minimum version to 1.0.0 as it supports API v2 and API v1 is deprecated.
* Update examples.
* Update documentation.

* The module now correctly sets the timezone in both the config file and
in /etc/localtime; while hwclock is set in both the config and
/etc/adjtime.
* Module checks if the timezone is actually set by checking
/etc/localtime. Before it only checked if it was set in the config file.
* Fixed module not setting the timezone on RedHat systems if
/etc/localtime was a symbolic link.
* Fixed module failures in case of missing config files or incorrect data
in them.
* Added a lot of integrations tests to cover most of these situations.
* cs_instance: implement host migration support
* fix build
* fail fast on update if user is not admin
* improve tests a bit
* expunge it
* fix typo
* disable temporarly verify for host on starting instance.

* removed container instance
* readd again
* fixed stupid mistake
* removed _azure from changes
* one more mistake
* Set encrypted as default and fix empty password reporting changed
* Starting with Postgres 10 `UNENCRYPTED` passwords are removed and
because of that this module fails with the default `encrypted=no`.
Also encrypted passwords are suported since version 7.2
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.2/static/sql-createuser.html) which
went EOL in 2007 and since 7.3 it is the default. Because of this it
makes a lot more sense to make `encrypted=yes` the default. This won't
break backward compatibility, the module would just update the user's
password in the DB in the hashed format and everything else will work
like before. It's also a security bad practice to store passwords in
plain text. fixes#25823
* There was also a bug with `encrypted=yes` and an empty password always
reported as changed.
* Improved documentation for `encrypted`/`password` parameters, and
removed some obsolete notes about passlib.
* Fix clearing user's password to work with all versions of Postgres
* Add tests for clearing the user password
* Fix documentation atfer rebase
* Add changelog fragment
* Modifying cnos-facts, cnos_command and cnos-config in line with the design followed in Ansible. Adding unit test cases for these modules. Added plugins to support them.
* Removing doc fragment conflicts with other modules
* Replacing show with display
* fix problem with documentation and param definition difference

* fixed mistake
* remove one more E324
* removed function app
* fixing append tags
* leaving append tags for later
