This makes it behave in a more idiomatic way
* Fix bug in Darwin facts for free memory
If the vm_stat command is not found, fact gathering would fail with an unhelpful
error message. Handle this gracefully and return a default value for free memory.
* Add unit tests
* Move warn() and deprecate() methods out of basic.py
* Use _global_warnings and _global_deprications and create accessor functions
- This lays the foundation for future functions being moved outside of AnsibleModule
that need an interface to warnings and deprecations without modifying them.
* Add unit tests for new warn and deprecate functions
* Get no_log parameters from subspec
* Add changelog and unit tests
* Handle list of dicts in suboptions
Add fancy error message (this will probably haunt me)
* Update unit tests to test for list of dicts in suboptions
* Add integration tests
* Validate parameters in dict and list
In case it comes in as a string
* Make changes based on feedback, fix tests
* Simplify validators since we only need to validate dicts
Add test for suboptions passed in as strings to ensure they get validated properly and turned into a dictionary.
ci_complete
* Add a few more integration tests
* Move check_type_str() out of basic.py
* Move check_type_list() out of basic.py
* Move safe_eval() out of basic.py
* Move check_type_dict() out of basic.py
* Move json importing code to common location
* Move check_type_bool() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_int() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_float() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_path() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_raw() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_bytes() out of basic.py
* Move _check_type_bits() out of basic.py
* Create text.formatters.py
Move human_to_bytes, bytes_to_human, and _lenient_lowercase out of basic.py into text.formatters.py
Change references in modules to point to function at new location
* Move _check_type_jsonarg() out of basic.py
* Rename json related functions and put them in common.text.converters
Move formatters.py to common.text.formatters.py and update references in modules.
* Rework check_type_str()
Add allow_conversion option to make the function more self-contained.
Move the messaging back to basic.py since those error messages are more relevant to using this function in the context of AnsibleModule and not when using the function in isolation.
* Add unit tests for type checking functions
* Change _lenient_lowercase to lenient_lowercase per feedback
* Rename method and make private
* Use is_iterable, combine transformations
* Remove unused return_values from network modules
* Improve docstrings in new functions
* Add new PASS_VAR
* Add unit tests for list_no_log_values
* Fix unit tests for Python 2.6
Refinements:
- return legal_inputs and update class properties
- remove redundant arguments from method and handle in caller
- add better exception types to method
* Add unit tests for handle_aliases
* Move get_all_subclasses out of sys_info as it is unrelated to system
information.
* get_all_subclasses now returns a set() instead of a list.
* Don't port get_platform to sys_info as it is deprecated. Code using
the common API should just use platform.system() directly.
* Rename load_platform_subclass() to get_platform_subclass and do not
instantiate the rturned class.
* Test the compat shims in module_utils/basic.py separately from the new
API in module_utils/common/sys_info.py and module_utils/common/_utils.py
* Move ansible.compat.tests to test/units/compat/.
* Fix unit test references to ansible.compat.tests.
* Move builtins compat to separate file.
* Fix classification of test/units/compat/ dir.
* Separate networking tools that may be used by modules outside of networking so changes to networking-only utilities don't trigger AWS integration tests
* Add unit tests for moved network utils
* Add comment to prevent imports from being mistakenly removed
* Move to_bits as well
Move dict_merge from azure_rm_resource module to
module_utils.common.dict_transformations and add tests.
Use dict_merge to provide a fairly realistic, reliable
diff output when k8s-based modules are run in check_mode.
Rename unit tests so that they actually run and reflect
the module_utils they're based on.
