This PR includes:
- Fixes to the majority of module validation issues
(deliberate inconsistencies between docs and arg_spec)
- Removal of deprecated parameters 'method' and 'protocols'
- A few typos in the documentation
There are still some left-over validation errors, some are deliberate
(like doc strings as default to indicate ranges, etc.)
* Allow subspec defaults to be processed when the parent argument is not supplied
* Allow this to be configurable via apply_defaults on the parent
* Document attributes of arguments in argument_spec
* Switch manageiq_connection to use apply_defaults
* add choices to api_version in argument_spec
* vdirect modules: fix 'import' sanity test
* Remove passing file from import skip list.
* vdirect modules: fix validate-modules warnings
- Arguments with a default should not be marked as required
- add choices in doc
* vdirect_runnable: use formatting function
* should not need <>, but fails without
* adds anchor to keywords page, uses it on plugins pages
* fixes envvar link errors
* harmonize file name and ref name as python_3
* removes undefined-lable from ignore list
* a refactor of pool member and node modules to be inline with current f5 conventions
* Added priority_group_activation to pools
* various other small convention fixes and bug fixes
* Adds gnat provisioning to bigip_provision
* Adds special handling for AFM in bigip_provision
* Add device rebooting for provisioning as necessary
* Refactored route domain module to be inline with current f5 conventions
* Minor refactors across modules
* Remove raw byte-strings from cliconf plugins of supported platforms + edgeos
Remove uses of to_bytes, too
* Update CliConfBase docstring to reflect current position on byte strings
* Include change classification data in metadata.
* Add support for disabled tests.
* Add support for unstable tests.
* Add support for unsupported tests.
* Overhaul integration aliases sanity test.
* Update Shippable scripts to handle unstable tests.
* Mark unstable Azure tests.
* Mark unstable Windows tests.
* Mark disabled tests.
* Start of tests for ansible.module_utils.urls
* Start adding file for generic functions throughout urls
* Add tests for maybe_add_ssl_handler
* Remove commented out line
* Improve coverage of maybe_add_ssl_handler, test basic_auth_header
* Start tests for open_url
* pep8 and ignore urlopen in test_url_open.py tests
* Extend auth tests, add test for validate_certs=False
* Finish tests for open_url
* Add tests for fetch_url
* Add fetch_url tests to replace-urlopen ignore
* dummy instead of _
* Add BadStatusLine test
* Reorganize/rename tests
* Add tests for RedirectHandlerFactory
* Add POST test to confirm behavior is to convert to GET
* Update tests to handle recent changes to RedirectHandlerFactory
* Special test, just to confirm that aliasing http_error_308 to http_error_307 does not cause issues with urllib2 type redirects
* tolerate windows line endings when loading windows module utils. Helpful for old custom windows modules.
* add test modules to demonstrate win line ending module load behaviour.
* attempt to fix sanity check failures
* pep8 fix
* explict skip of test modules from shebang check (core modules must still have expected unix style line endings)
* switch to rstrip() following core team meeting feedback
* Use arg_spec type for comparisons on default and choices
* Further improve type casting
* Make sure to capture output in more places
* Individually report invalid choices
* Update ignore.txt after resolving merge conflicts
* Clean up Grafana docs a bit
But more is needed, default values, missing choices, proper
descriptions, actual sentences :-)
* Remove validate-modules entries
Remove module from ignore lists and some documentation fix in
digital_ocean_block_storage and digital_ocean module.

* Ensure we merge doc fragments early, for comparisons
* Perform boolean conversion from arg_spec data too
* Update valdiate-modules ignore.txt due to recent changes
* Wildcard imports should be taken care of. Enable the pylint check for them
* Remove wildcard import code-smell test as we're now checking via pylint
* Add unused-wildcard-import as ignored in our compat code.
These three files use wildcard imports so that they can export
symbols in a compatible location. The real code lives elsewhere.
So disable the pylint tests for the relevant sections of code.
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
* fix broken import
Error was:
lib/ansible/modules/cloud/azure/azure_rm_dnsrecordset.py:223:0: NameError: name 'ARecord' is not defined
* doc: use formatting functions
* remove unused dict
* Skip parameters that are being deprecated
So in most cases when parameters are deprecated, you may not want to
advertise them in the documentation. One reason for this is because
these parameters were not introduced within Ansible but predate
upstreaming them.
So this change avoids reporting parameters that are not documented and
are deprecated. It's only a small subset of the existing E322 errors.
* Add support for E323 with these changes
* Unsure about the other issues now
* Add better error message with E321
* Restore some erroneously remove files
* Readd false positives to ignore.txt
