* Add new module property to Windows modules
* Add brief pause to file tests to ensure the stat times are not equal, which was happening sometimes.
* Raise TypeError on error rather than fail_json()
* Rework error message to be less verbose
* Add porting guide entry
* Set src in the state functions rather than the toplevel
A good API should only require passing one version of a piece of data
around so do that for src
* Move the rewriting of path into additional_parameter_handling
When the path is a directory we can rewrite the path to be a file inside
of the directory
* Emit a warning when src is used with a state where it should be ignored
* Pull the tests for state=link into their own file
* Pull tests for what happens when dest is a directory out
* Expand both of the above sets of tests
There was a traceback when setting permissions on a directory tree when
there were broken symlinks inside of the tree and follow=true. chmod -R
ignores broken symlinks inside of the tree so we've fixed the file
module to do the same.
Fixes#39456
* Fix for file module with symlinks to nonexistent target
When creating a symlink to a nonexistent target, creating the symlink
would work but subsequent runs of the task would fail because it was
trying to operate on the target instead of the symlink.
Fixes#39558
https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.split
str.split([sep[, maxsplit]])
If sep is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are deemed
to delimit empty strings.
>>> "85563 ----------------C-- /var/lib/libvirt/images".split(' ')[0:2]
['85563', '']
>>> "85563 ----------------C-- /var/lib/libvirt/images".split()[0:2]
['85563', '----------------C--']
This change corrects problems reported by the `yamllint` linter.
Since key duplication problems were removed in 4d48711, this commit
mainly fixes trailing spaces and extra empty lines at beginning/end of
files.
