* Python version
* Remove FIXMEs - move to seperate PR
* Consistency and document treatment of default bool values
* Document that default bool values can be any Ansible recognized bool.
choose the one that reads better in context
* For fragments used by the copy module, make bool types use type=bool and not choices
* Edit for clarity
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.
It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.
* Add explicit targets for and update refs
Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.
Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)
* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml
Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.
* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples
py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.
Fixes#29060
Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.
Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.
However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string. Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.
* Use a rst glossary for playbooks_keywords docs
* Add a 'Task' and 'Tasks' to glossary.
* Update keywords desciptions,
* use :term: rst ref, some quoting
* Make it more obvious that 'retries' and 'until' need to be used in combination.
* let generate_man also gen rst pages for cli tools
* make template-file, output-dir, output format cli options for generate_man
* update main Makefile to use generate_man.py for docs (man pages and rst)
* update vault docs that use :option:
* Edits based on
6e34ea6242 and
a3afc78535
* add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py
The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field
which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.
Fixes building ansible-config man page.
* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man
use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
first line being indented.
* Add refs to cli command actions
To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:
:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
or:
:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:
:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
or most of the time:
:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
Since json_query treats backticks as delimiters for literals,
some of the examples in the json_query docs can be made a little
simpler. Rather than replacing such examples, demonstrate the
alternative
The variable was pointing to a file with a `.cer` extension but the curl command downloads a `.pem` file which makes executions of the bash script fail
* start rst docs for ansible-vault encrypt_string

* Delete trailing space in ec2_vol example
Delete the trailing space in `instance: "{{ item.id }} "`, which makes the
example fail when run because it looks for instance "i-xxxx ".
This change fixes two issues with the generated return table:
1. When specifying a list of strings in the 'description' field of a
return value, it shows them in Python list syntax on the resulting
web page, e.g. `['a', 'b', 'c']`.
2. When specifying more than one line for the 'sample' field, the
result table gets damaged in the HTML output.
In addition, this change re-arranges the HTML tags produced in the
generated RST file such that they line up nicely and can better be
checked by humans for completeness.

In case we build docs offline, we want to have a cached copy of the
documentation refs that are in the intersphinx docs we reference.
Update those to the lattest versions from their respective upstreams
1. Copied over content from existing rst/community.rst page (which will be refactored once all these pages are in.)
2. For features, pointed to the Proposals section, which we should probably leave in ansible/proposals, where it is actively used.

Unfortunately, the Github interface does no longer allow me to edit a file in the GUI and then branch it in my personal clone for making a PR. It now only offers to make a PR using a branch on the ansible repository :-(
So committing this directly instead against my will, but per the guidelines this appears to be safe. Fingers crossed...
We are reserving the _ identifier for i18n work. Code should use the
identifier dummy for dummy variables instead.
This test is currently skipped as someone needs to generate the list of
files which are currently out of compliance before this can be turned
on.
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:
- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
using special value "".
* Minor edits
Wording tweak
* Create get_exception and wildcard import code-smell tests
* Add more detail to boilerplate and no-basestring descriptions
* Remove the no-list-cmp test as the pylint undefined-variable test covers it
* ManageIQ: manageiq_user module, module utils and doc_fragment
ManageIQ is an open source management platform for Hybrid IT.
This change is adding:
- manageiq_user module, responsible for user management in ManageIQ
- manageiq utils
- manageiq doc_fragment
* Handle import error
* Use formatting options
* group parameter is required
* changed doesn't need to be an attribute
* resource dictionary should contain values which isn't None
* move from monitoring to remote-management
* Use ManageIQ nameing convention
* Do not set defauts in arguments
* Use idempotent state parameter instead of action
* Check import error in the manageiq util class
* Update the miq documentation
* rename the connection configuration from miq to manageiq_connection
* All messeges start with non cap, fix typos, add examples, rename vars
* more typos fixes
* Make sure we insert only strings to logs by using % formating
* use suboptions keyword for the manageiq connection
* do not log the managiq connection struct (it include sensitive information like username and password)
* add missing from __future__
* ahh, wrong no-log line
* Use sub options
* Added placeholder topics for community info
* Setup community section index.
* Initial move of triage process docs.
* Typo/test
* Removed triage topic from index.
This allows a single template to be evaluated with different values in
the same task. For example, with a template like 'x:{{a}}', one could do
something like this:
- foo:
a: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=foo[item])) }}"
b: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=bar[item])) }}"
with_items:
- x
- y
…and "a" and "b" would expand to different strings based on what we
passed in to the template lookup.
* Add command_timeout timer that defines the amount
of time to wait for a command or RPC call before
timing out.
* Remove connect_retries and connect_interval configuration
varaible and replace it with connect_retry_timeout to control
the timeout value of connection to local scoket.

* Revert "Fix wildcard import in galaxy/token.py"
This reverts commit 6456891053.
* Revert "Fix one name in module error due to rewritten VariableManager"
This reverts commit 87a192fe66.
* Revert "Disable pylint check for names existing in modules for test data"
This reverts commit 6ac683ca19.
* Revert "Allow ini plugin to load file using other encoding than utf8."
This reverts commit 6a57ad34c0.
We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3. Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.
Also switch tables in the validate_modules documentation to simple table format
- New option for ini plugins: encoding
- Add a new option encoding to _get_file_contents
- Use replace option in test/runner/lib/util.py when calling decode on stdout/err
output when diff have non-utf8 sequences
* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.
