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 connection_draining idempotency in ec2_elb_lb
Ensure connection_draining types are equivalent when comparing
whether or not connection_draining is being changed.
This means that running `ec2_elb_lb` with connection_draining
set a second time will now report `changed=False`
* ec2_elb_lb: fixed latest Ansible standards compliance
Update to current pep8 standards, fix module imports
and remove module from exclusion file
* candidate var can now be string, list or element
* fixes minor bug in junos_template for backup argument
* disabled invalid integration test for junos_template
This is basically a replay of #16064 from `gce.py` to other pertinent
`gce_*.py` files. It enables expansions of paths in `gce.ini` like
`~/.project.json`
* removes cli functions
* adds comment and confirm to arguments
* implements zeroize argument
* fixes get_diff function in junos shared lib to return diff
* lots of minor bug fixes in junos_config
* minor syntax fixes in junos_netconf
* updates netconf integration tests
* junos_command should send all cli commands over netconf
* task based credentials are now optional
* commands and rpcs are not mutually exclusive anymore
* removes cli functions from shared lib
* adds cli functions to junos_netconf module
* statically pins junos_netconf to cli transport
* all other modules use netconf transport
* adds command rpc function to junos shared
* Fixes for junos_config errors
* Check transport settings for core Junos
* Don't pop from the same list you iterate over
* use of persistent connections are now explicitly enabled in junos
* modules must now explicitly enable persistent connections
* adds rpc support to junos_command
fixes#22166
The provider arguments where not correctly being mapped in the action
plugin for eapi transport. This will now correctly map existing
arguments as well as set the correct defaults for values.
fixes#22442
Some downstreams want to ship multiple versions of ansible (Either to
have multiple ansible versions or to have a version that uses python3.X
and a version that uses python2.x). When they do this, they append
a version number to the cli scripts in /usr/bin. This patch will remove
those version numbers before trying to find the ansible python module to
import for this commandline
* eos_banner docs improvements
* run eos_banner tests
* basic eos_banner tests
* remove trailing newlines
* remove hack
* Various eos_banner fixes
No unicode tests, as the device doesn't support it
Correctly set provider
result.command should be empty list if no changes
* test eos_banner over eapi
* revert docs changes, moved to separate PR
* Add simple module to import/delete ssl certificate from/to java keystore.
* add diff/check mode support, fix reported issues and simplify decision logic
* Fix build by adding new line at the end of file.
* Some updates to module requested PR review
* Add simple executable parameter
* Fix build error
* fix module doc fields
* More module docs corrections
* More module docs corrections
* More module docs corrections
* More module docs corrections
* correct aliases
* Review comments
* Must quote ':'
* More authors
* Use suboptions:
* restore type: bool
* type should be in the same place
* More tidyups
* authors
* Use suboptions
* revert
* remove duplicate author
* More issues post rebase
* Update the docs to conform to implementation
Somehow the docs were still mentioning a default timeout of 300 seconds.
Whereas the implementation defaults to 600 seconds.
* Improve examples even more
The map_config_to_obj calls the run_commands helper function,
which returns a list of results.
However, the map_params_to_obj return a single string.
Therefore, the comparison between the two datasets could never be equal,
breaking idempotency.
Also, the 'no banner' command should be run on absent only if there's a banner
text set.
Fixes#22194
