A little further down the page is another index, ansible_loop.index, which shares a similar description but is 1 indexed.
Its zero indexed twin has a 0 suffix.
``ansible_loop.index`` The current iteration of the loop. (1 indexed)
``ansible_loop.index0`` The current iteration of the loop. (0 indexed)
To remove ambiguity around the usage of index_var, explicitly mention that this variable is 0 indexed.
Change:
- Test async_wrapper when the module it runs has stderr output
Test Plan:
- CI
- Looked at coverage report and saw green for a few lines that weren't
previously green.

pipe lookup plugin uses Popen with shell=True intentionally.
This is considered a security issue if user input is not validated.
Updated docs to reflect this information for the user. Also, added
Bandit B602 documentation link for further reading.

Change:
- Add integration tests for various cases
- Fix wrong use of "its" in an exception thrown in varnames when it
throws an AnsibleError, given a term of the wrong type.
Test Plan:
- new tests, CI
Tickets:
- Fixes#70546

- ensure we preserve the typeerror part of the exception so loop defereed error handling
can postpone those caused by undefined variables until the when check is done.
- fix tests to comply with the 'new normal'
- human_to_bytes and others can issue TypeError not only on 'non string'
but also bad string that is not convertable.

Change:
- Use parse_kv() for parsing in the csvfile lookup plugin. This allows
us to handle multi-word search keys and filenames. Previously, the
plugin split on space and so none of these things worked as expected.
- Add integration tests for csvfile, testing a plethora of weird cases.
Test Plan:
- New integration tests, CI

Change:
- Move hostnamectl check out of GenericStrategy because it was incorrect
for everything except the SystemdStrategy which is where it belongs.
- Add some initial tests for the hostname module, though we are limited
by the fact that we can't do much testing with it in containers.
Test Plan:
- new hostname integration tests

Change:
- Followup to #70504. We need to not pass the 'warn' parameter from the
action plugin either, unless it's True. Otherwise, even though it
defaults to false, we always show the deprecation.
Test Plan:
- Local

instead of certain commands is now deprecated. Its `warn` paramater
and `COMMAND_WARNINGS` configuration options are also deprecated.

Change:
Our handling of NetBSD virtualization facts led to facts that were just
plain incorrect. One example is reporting Xen even when the system is
running on something completely different (like KVM).
As stated by the reporter of #69352, NetBSD has a better sysctl setting
to use for this information, machdep.hypervisor.
This PR does the following:
- Try to use machdep.hypervisor sysctl value if the other sysctl values
we check don't end up with enough information to be useful
- Only look for /dev/xencons and assume Xen if nothing else works
(Really this should probably return 'unknown' since the file exists on
non-Xen systems and is not very useful).
- Add a few more patterns (Xen matches and also Hyper-V) to
VirtualSysctlDetectionMixin#detect_virt_product.
This change is slightly breaking:
- If the first two attempts at using sysctl worked before,
(machdep.dmi.system-product and machdep.dmi.system-vendor), they will
continue to work.
- For cases when those values didn't work, previously the existence of
/dev/xencons was checked, and if found, we reported 'xen' (even on
non-Xen systems when the file existed). After this PR, we try the
machdep.hypervisor sysctl key before still falling back to
/dev/xencons. This means that in some cases, we might go from
(wrongly) saying "xen" to giving a more accurate value such as "kvm"
or "Hyper-V".
Test Plan:
- Tested with local NetBSD VM and got 'kvm' instead of 'xen' back.

Change:
- module_utils.basic.is_special_selinux_path() used a string ==
bytestring comparison which returned False and made Ansible think that
certain filesystems aren't, in fact, special-cased, when they should
be. Ensure both sides of the == are bytestrings.
Test Plan:
- Added `copy` integration tests for this case.

* Add type for options in the sample module shown in Developing Modules, as this is required to have the tests being
green
* Remove duplicated strings: the same sentence is in "Python tips" and "Module security", keeping the
latter.
* ansible-doc man formatter: do not crash when description isn't there.
* Change to report a better error message when description is not there.
* Add test.
Previous version initialized the `TaskQueueManager` after calling
`Play.load()` while advertising a way to inject a custom library
location path. This caused the tasks loader not to find any custom
modules because it was triggered before the path was actually added
to the module loader.
This patch changes the order of the operations to ensure that the
customized `context.CLIARGS` actually influences things.
Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69758.
If a local module has no documentation, the doc command will fail without any hints of what is wrong. Add another way to confirm the presence of a local module.
