Primarily, this patch contains refactors to remove tracebacks that
are generated when libraries are missing. There is also,
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg. Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
This patch was primarily an effort to reduce traceback errors for
work that sivel was doing. Part of (and in some cases in addition to)
that, the following was done.
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg.
* Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
* Update validate-modules arg_spec introspection to be faster, by only mocking the imports we explicitly list
* The use of types.MethodType in redhat_subscription wasn't py3 compatible, use partial instead
* Remove argument_spec import hacks, make them errors, we can ignore them with ansible-test
* Enable the --arg-spec flag for validate-modules
* Update validation test for new copyright
Ensure new modules without the new copyright header fail
validation
Ensure existing modules without copyright in top 20 lines fail
* Add documentation of 108 error
Create label in developing modules documentation so that
the validation page can point to it
* Ensure new style copyright header passes test!
* Refactor common network shared and platform specific code into package (part-1)
As per proposal #76 refactor common network shared and platform specific
code into sub-package.
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/76
* ansible.module_utils.network.common - command shared functions
* ansible.module_utils.network.{{ platform }} - where platform is platform specific shared functions
* Fix review comments
* Fix review comments
* Use correct pip version in ansible-test.
* Add git fallback for validate-modules.
* Run sanity tests in a docker container.
* Use correct python version for sanity tests.
* Pin docker completion images and add default.
* Split pylint execution into multiple contexts.
* Only test .py files in use-argspec-type-path test.
* Accept identical python interpeter name or binary.
* Switch cloud tests to default container.
* Remove unused extras from pip install.
* Filter out empty pip commands.
* Don't force running of pip list.
* Support delegation for windows and network tests.
* Fix ansible-test python version usage.
* Fix ansible-test python version skipping.
* Use absolute path for log in ansible-test.
* Run vyos_command test on python 3.
* Fix windows/network instance persistence.
* Add `test/cache` dir to classification.
* Enable more python versions for network tests.
* Fix cs_router test.
* module_utils #Requires should not have .psm1 extension if "real" Powershell will ever execute them
* updated validate-modules to enforce this
* added check to disallow multi-module syntax on Ansible.ModuleUtils #Requires
* Correctly validate module name for modules with aliases
If a module has an alias (ie is a symlink) then we need to ensure that
DOCUMENTATION.module is set to the main name, not the aliased name
* formatting
* Add network value to support_by field.
* New support_by value, certified
* Deprecate curated in favor of certified
* Add conversion from 1.0 to 1.1 to metadata-tool
* Add supported by Red Hat field to ansible-doc output
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
* Make Reporter class hold all results, move line/col into results, and out of message
* Move line/col out of message for YAML parser errors
* We have lineno for the DOC var, use it for YAML parser errors
* Remove valdiate-modules files from legacy-files
* pep8 indentation fixes
* Add todo for line/col in _validate_docs_schema
* Added test for 'RETURN' field in validate-modules
* print the field being tested.
Useful when the RETURN structure is complex.
* Fixed schema after CI traceback fail
* Fixed list_string_types
* Fixed line in 319 code for RETURN
* Big testing doc refactor
* Combine all the testing documentation in to one place to make it easier to find
* Convert everything to RST
* Create testing_network guide
* Create testing landing page
* For each section detail "how to run" and "how to extend testing"
* More examples
* Lots more detail
* Improve PEP8 compatibility
* Fix Python 3 incompatibility
Is prohibited to mutate OrderedDict during iteration through it so
is better to add records with error or warning to empty dictionary
instead of delete records from copy of dictionary during iterating.
* Decode output of subprocess from bytes to unicode.
* Add Python 3 support for validate-modules test.
Fix#18367
Made ansible-doc more plugin agnostic
We can have docs in lookup, callback, connectionm strategy, etc
Use first docstring and make pepizis happy
generalized module_docs to plugin_docs
documented cartesian, ssh, default, jsonfile, etc as examples
changed lack of docs to warning when listing
made smarter about bad docstrings
better blacklisting
added handling of options/config/envs/etc
move blacklist to find_plugins, only need once

* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
* Fix string formatting
* Provide better tracebacks
* When options is None and extends_documentation_fragment is in use, add an error that options must be a dict
* If options was specified and not a dict, then error
* Re-enable module comparisons, specifically for new module detection and for finding new options/arguments
* Only do new module checks in shippable, local will display warning
* Update validate-modules
* Validates ANSIBLE_METADATA
* Ensures imports happen after documentation vars
* Some pep8 cleanup
* Clean up some left over unneeded code
* Update modules for new module guidelines and validate-modules checks
* Update imports for ec2_vpc_route_table and ec2_vpc_nat_gateway
Print out the data that fails to validate when doing
schema checking on modules
This allows easier interpretation of error messages.
From:
```
ERROR: DOCUMENTATION.notes.2: expected basestring
```
To:
```
ERROR: DOCUMENTATION.notes.2: expected basestring @ data['notes'][2].
Got {"As with C(include) this task can be static or dynamic, If static
it implies that it won't need templating nor loops nor conditionals and
will show included tasks in the --list options. Ansible will try to
autodetect what is needed, but you can set `static": 'yes|no` at task
level to control this.'}
```
This allows validate-modules to run in an environment where
python 3 is the default. This will no longer be necessary once
validate-modules is updated to work with both python 2 and 3.
