* Fix validate-modules test ignores
* Introduce new "required_by' argument_spec option
This PR introduces a new **required_by** argument_spec option which allows you to say *"if parameter A is set, parameter B and C are required as well"*.
- The difference with **required_if** is that it can only add dependencies if a parameter is set to a specific value, not when it is just defined.
- The difference with **required_together** is that it has a commutative property, so: *"Parameter A and B are required together, if one of them has been defined"*.
As an example, we need this for the complex options that the xml module provides. One of the issues we often see is that users are not using the correct combination of options, and then are surprised that the module does not perform the requested action(s).
This would be solved by adding the correct dependencies, and mutual exclusives. For us this is important to get this shipped together with the new xml module in Ansible v2.4. (This is related to bugfix https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/28657)
```python

The affected line in _find_address_range will only fail on Python 3.7
and later if the function is called with an empty address list. As an
internal method it is never called in this way, making it a non-issue
for use via public methods.
Using a comment to disable the rule in favor of an ignore.txt entry
since there are no plans to change the logic in the code itself. This
will also prevent any potential future issues being added in other
parts of the code when updating it based on upstream changes.

- Remove undocumented 'pkg' alias for 'name'. Replace with 'port' alias and document it.

* Resolve issues in NetApp E-Series Host module
The E-Series host module had some bugs relating to the update/creation
of host definitions when iSCSI initiators when included in the
configuration. This patch resolves this and other minor issues with
correctly detecting updates.
There were also several minor issues found that were causing issues with
truly idepotent updates/changes to the host definition.
This patch also provides some unit tests and integration tests to help
catch future issues in these areas.
fixes#28272
* Improve NetApp E-Series Host module testing

verification to verify the changes made to the storage array.

Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

Fixes: #42495
Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kasurde <akasurde@redhat.com>
* Windows: Add special parameter types
Adding explicit parameter types now exposes this information in the
module documentation, and proves really helpful.
We only do this for non-string types as strings, mostly because strings
are implicit.
PS We also make copyright statements consistent and use #Requires for
explicit library imports
* Type "string" must be type "str"
* A few more Copyright corrections
* More fixes
* Don't add file encoding to Powershell files
* Don't add missing interfacetypes parameter
Otherwise CI demands an incorrect version_added
* Small fix
This library is a backport (to 2.x versions of Python) of the code
that is found in the mainline versions of Python 3.x. It is being
included so that networking vendors, and others, can make use of it
without needing to add a python module dependency to their own modules.
A separate dependency would add to user burden of satisfying those
dependencies before using some Ansible modules.
In a previous core meeting, this was approved. Naming of the directory
it is found in was up for debate, but "compat" was the first directory
to have some sort of concensus.
* Make the code more PowerShell compliant
* Correction of the mistaken comment
* Revert style changes to If/Else/Elseif
* Remove an ignored PSScriptAnalyzer rule due to the code correction
* Decreasing of an entropy ;-) and replacing the next to aliases
* minor whitespace changes
