The following changes have been made:
- Added check-mode support
- Added parameter type support
- Replace PSObject by a normal dictionary
- Improve idempotency (only when $dest is provided it is not idempotent (yet)
I intended to update the documentation, but it appears the website docs
are behind the actual documentation (as the website doesn't show the
default values for booleans).
So I ended up adding the missing -type "path" and use the default $null
value for undefined parameters.
* include source file in error message
* win_copy: Fix for idempotency
This patch fixes an idempotency issue with win_copy. Without this patch
files would always be considered changed (unless the copy operation failed).
It also fixes the resulting output cfr. what was deocumented.
Small improvements:
- Remove obsolete comments
- Use $check_mode instead of my own $_ansible_check_mode
- Renamed "default" window style to "normal" (as is used by Windows
documentation)
- A fix for check-mode support (when state=absent)
The following changes have been made:
- Added check-mode support
- Added diff support
- Corrected HCCC to HKCC (according to windows documentation)
- Updated documentation, and examples
- Added -aliases support to module_utils/powershell.ps1
- Renamed `key > value > data` to `path > name > data`
- Re-indented code and consistency changes
- Added support for expandstring type
This fixes#20595
* win_psexec: execute cmds on remote systems as any user
This module uses the versatile psexec tool to run any command remotely
as any user (incl. domain users).
* Add missing documentation
Now that this module is deemed acceptable for inclusion,
the documentation is an essential part.
* win_psexec: Small cosmetic changes
* win_psexec: add more options (priority, elevated, ...)
* Fixes after more testing
* Renamed 'cmd' to 'psexec_command' + more
- Also replaced PSObject() with a hash table
- Made $chdir of type "path"
- Renamed $args to $extra_args
* Various improvements
- Switched to using booleans for most parameters
- Added type 'bool' to boolean parameters
- Added 'interactive' parameter
- Added 'wait' parameter
- Added an interactive example
* Added -type "bool" support to Get-AnsibleParam
* Fix deadlock
* When using `wait:no` return code is PID of process
* Windows: Fix documentation strings to be raw strings
Especially when using Windows paths they easily get confused as escaped
sequences or unicode characters. So by default use raw strings
This fixes#20295
* Fixed as hinted by @abadger
And some trailing whitespace fixes.
This PR is based on #20164 functionality to specify the parameter type
(e.g. as done for python modules).
In this case only -type "path" has a specific meaning, as it will expand
environment variables for paths. Which is typically done on Windows.
So you can do:
- win_copy:
src: files/some.doc
dest: '%UserProfile%\My Documents'
* win_shortcut: Create, manage, remove Windows shortcuts
This modules manages Windows shortcuts and all its properties.
The module is idempotent and supports check-mode.
This relates to #19694
* Changes required after @nitzmahone review
* Added -type "path" to parameter definitions
* Small fixes
- Add conversion from window style name to window style id
- Fix error message output (Why didn't the original work ?)
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
* Fixes#3539 "win_robocopy does not return changed properly"
Remove .win_robocopy from $result so that ansible can see the values properly. This also matches up with the existing documentation.
* Update documentation to match new return values
* Issue #19575: Adding Dest Param to win_uri
Added `dest` param to win_uri. Outputs the response body to a specified
file.
Addresses Issue #19575
* Was setting the wrong attribute
