* Make the following scripts idempotent so that we only have to rebuild changed docs, not all docs:
* plugin_formatter
* generate_man
* dump_keywords.py
* dump_config.py
* testing_formatter.sh
* update porting guides
With PR #40532 `shade` library was retired and replaced with direct use
of `openstacksdk`. Porting guides and doc about dynamic inventory were
not updated.
* orphans testing pages to avoid not-in-toctree errors
* orphans various pages pending reorg
* adds module_utils and special_vars to main TOC
* uses a glob for scenario_guide TOC
* normalize and Sentence-case headings on community pages, typos
* re-orgs community TOC, adds all pages to toctree
* removes scenario guides index page
* adds style guide to community index
* basic update to style guide
* fix typo that created a new error
* removes not-in-toctree from ignore errors list
* leave removing files for future cleanup task
* Add docs on how to write changelog fragments
* Make recommended changes
* Restore lines and make recommended changes
* Add link to new style changelog
Remove redundant mention of old style changelog
* Initial commit for the Meraki scenario guide
* Added Meraki guide to indexes, fixed an error
* Added common parameters to scenario guide
* Add additional information for first draft
- Added very common parameters everyone uses.
- Documented common format for returned data from Meraki.
- High level explanation of error handling.
* Fix .rst formatting error
* Added section about handling returned data. More to come.
* Small formatting changes
* expect ssh_key_data to be a string instead of path
ssh_key_data should be a string filled with the private key
the old behavior can be archived with a lookup
Fixes#45119
* clarifies ssh_key_data description, adds newline
<!--- Your description here -->
`pip install ansible[azure]` results in `zsh: no matches found: ansible[azure]` at least in my computer (zsh on Ubuntu). I don't know if it is the case with all shells, but at least for me it is. Since square brackets `[]` are special characters in bash, I propose adding single quotes to make sure that package name is always interpreted as literal. The same error is also resolvable by setting noglob.
Correct and clarify "set_fact" example, expanding on what is happening
in the easy-to-get-wrong import mode. Add some additional links to "group_by" documentation and the main import/include discussion.
Closes: #31596
* Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used.
* Add command-line values into the precedence list.
* Several sample config snippets were included without any explanation
of how those snippets would be processed. Added descriptions so that
the reader can understand what each snippet will (or won't) accomplish.
* Don't focus on inventory as much
Expand on the fact that it's the fact that a variable is set that
matters, not the source of the variable.
* fixed network automation index issues
* replace :doc: with :ref:
* fixed anchor misspelling
* fix toc/nav issue -do not put toctree under a subheader
* Share the implementation of hashing for both vars_prompt and password_hash.
* vars_prompt with encrypt does not require passlib for the algorithms
supported by crypt.
* Additional checks ensure that there is always a result.
This works around issues in the crypt.crypt python function that returns
None for algorithms it does not know.
Some modules (like user module) interprets None as no password at all,
which is misleading.
* The password_hash filter supports all parameters of passlib.
This allows users to provide a rounds parameter, fixing #15326.
* password_hash is not restricted to the subset provided by crypt.crypt,
fixing one half of #17266.
* Updated documentation fixes other half of #17266.
* password_hash does not hard-code the salt-length, which fixes bcrypt
in connection with passlib.
bcrypt requires a salt with length 22, which fixes#25347
* Salts are only generated by ansible when using crypt.crypt.
Otherwise passlib generates them.
* Avoids deprecated functionality of passlib with newer library versions.
* When no rounds are specified for sha256/sha256_crypt and sha512/sha512_crypt
always uses the default values used by crypt, i.e. 5000 rounds.
Before when installed passlibs' defaults were used.
passlib changes its defaults with newer library versions, leading to non
idempotent behavior.
NOTE: This will lead to the recalculation of existing hashes generated
with passlib and without a rounds parameter.
Yet henceforth the hashes will remain the same.
No matter the installed passlib version.
Making these hashes idempotent.
Fixes#15326Fixes#17266Fixes#25347 except bcrypt still uses 2a, instead of the suggested 2b.
* random_salt is solely handled by encrypt.py.
There is no _random_salt function there anymore.
Also the test moved to test_encrypt.py.
* Uses pytest.skip when passlib is not available, instead of a silent return.
* More checks are executed when passlib is not available.
* Moves tests that require passlib into their own test-function.
* Uses the six library to reraise the exception.
* Fixes integration test.
When no rounds are provided the defaults of crypt are used.
In that case the rounds are not part of the resulting MCF output.
* Fix ansible-doc wrt removed modules
* Fix listing of modules ia ansible-doc to not complain about removed modules
Removed modules are marked as such in the metadata but nowhere else.
Need to retrieve the metadata when a module doesn't have a doc so that
we can tell if it falls under this case.
* omit removed modules from json dump
* Print an error that the module has been removed if attempting to run
ansible-doc on that specific module
* Get plugin_formatter to stop outputting removed modules
Since the ACI modules (like most network-related modules) run on the
local controller, this PR adds the necessary details so users are aware
of this particular feature.
Extends `module_defaults` by adding a prefix to defaults `group/` which denotes a builtin list of modules. Initial groups are: `group/aws`, `group/azure`, and `group/gcp`
Wow, this does not seem to be an uncommon misspelling. Might be there
are some left that span over two lines. I noticed the one in the git
module and then used `grep -rw 'the the'` to find some more.
Blocks currently don't support loops such as with_items or sequence. It would be helpful to make this clear in the docs otherwise it's a bit of a gotcha.

* after lots of discussion amongst the core team, we decided to preserve this feature, clarify the runtime warnings/docs, and prioritize a path toward fixing the underlying behavior that causes this feature to be insecure (un-namespaced facts).
* update faq text
note that warning is disabled when inject_facts_as_vars is
* wordsmithing FAQ entry
The "viewdocs" target was removed in
0381bc170c681b6ea8a94467c62e0694e3d9029d; running "make webdocs" gets
you the output for initial testing purposes.
* Remove use of simplejson throughout code base. Fixes#42761
* Address failing tests
* Remove simplejson from contrib and other outlying files
* Add changelog fragment for simplejson removal
Example instantiates an AnsibleError which derives from Exception but doesn't actually raise it like intended. This is misleading as it's not clear without examining the code for AnsibleError to know that it's not some function which would raise the exception automatically.
Only print warning when ansible.cfg is actually skipped
* Also add unittests for the find_ini_config_file function
* Add documentation on world writable current working directory
config files can no longer be loaded from a world writable current
working directory but the end user is allowed to specify that
explicitly. Give appropriate warnings and information on how.
Fixes#42388
