Previously if `sysctl_set=no` (which is the default) this module only
checked for changes in the sysctl.conf file to decide whether it should
reload it or not. This means that if the values in the conf file are the
same as they are set with the module, but the current values on the
system are different, that this module wouldn't apply the changes on the
system and thus the value set with the module wouldn't be applied on the
OS. This isn't obvious and it doesn't make sense that the module works
like that by default, especially because there is a separate option
`reload`. Now sysctl will also check if the current value differs on the
system and if it does, it will reload the file again.
* sysctl will now return an error if the value is invalid
sysctl can fail to set a value even if it returns an exit status 0. More
details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264080. Because of
this in case of an invalid value or a read-only file system, sysctl
module would return OK, even though it didn't set anything. To be sure
that sysctl correctly applied the changes we also need to check the
output of stderr.
* Run sysctl with LANG=C
Because we are parsing sysctl stderr we need to make sure that errors
are persistent across different system language settings.
* Add changelog fragment for sysctl
* Update Shippable integration test groups.
* Update integration test group aliases.
* Rebalance AWS and Azure tests with extra group.
* Rebalance Windows tests with another group.
* Warn on tests used as filters
* Update docs, add aliases for tests that fit more gramatically with test syntax
* Fix rst formatting
* Add successful filter, alias of success
* Remove renamed_deprecation, it was overkill
* Make directory alias for is_dir
* Update tests to use proper jinja test syntax
* Update additional documentation, living outside of YAML files, to reflect proper jinja test syntax
* Add conversion script, porting guide updates, and changelog updates
* Update newly added uses of tests as filters
* No underscore variable
* Convert recent tests as filter changes to win_stat
* Fix some changes related to rebasing a few integration tests
* Make tests_as_filters_warning explicitly accept the name of the test, instead of inferring the name
* Add test for tests_as_filters_warning
* Update tests as filters in newly added/modified tests
* Address recent changes to several integration tests
* Address recent changes in cs_vpc
* Remove sysctl entry when state=absent
* Cleanup sysctl integration test syntax
* Correct grammar on error message
* Add sysctl integration test for state=absent
A preliminary set of test targets for "core" supported module that had no independent tests. These will also help us ensure python3 compatibility for those modules and prevent future regressions.
