win_uri uses "Invoke-WebRequest" under the covers, which apparently
uses Internet Explorer to parse a webpage. The problem is if a user
has never run Internet Explorer, it will be unable to do that. The
work around for this is to set the "-UseBasicParsing" flag.
The only advantage to having the Internet Explorer parsed page is
that you can then access the DOM as if it was a powershell
argument. That doesn't seem super useful for Ansible to be able
to do, so I set the default to be "-UseBasicParsing"
When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing. This PR resolves that issue with the vmware_dvswitch module.
@kamsz reported this issue in https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/1568

dnf: name=PACKAGE state=latest is reponsible for two use cases:
- to install a package if not already installed.
- to update the package to the latest if already installed.
The latter use cases is not handled properly as base.upgrade does not
throw dnf.exceptions.MarkingError if a package is not installed.
Setting base.conf.best = True ensures a package is installed or
updated to the latest when calling base.install.

While returning puppet logs as ansible stdout is useful in some cases,
there are also cases where it's more destructive than helpful. For
those, local logging to syslog so that the ansible logging makes sense
is very useful.
This defaults to stdout so that behavior does not change for people.
The bigip_api method was changed in the module_utils function definition
to include the validate_certs option but the bigip_virtual_server module
was not updated accordingly. This patch updates the method so that the
error message below is not returned to the user
received exception: bigip_api() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)
This moves the validation of properties to the zfs command itself. The
properties and their choices were not really correct anyway due to
differences between OpenZFS and Solaris/ZFS.
The patch module has a few missing items, and inconsistencies, in its
documentation. A few of which are addressed here.
Within Ansible documentation, the choices for boolean values are
commonly 'yes', and 'no'. We standardise the options on that.
'remote_src' documentation uses 'False' and 'True' for its documentation,
so these have been updated in both the choices and default.
'src' documentation refers to 'remote_src', so is updated to use
the 'no' choice.
'backup' did not describe its options and default at all, so we add
them.
'binary' default used 'False', but specified the type as 'bool' which is
implicitly documented as 'yes'/'no', so we make that 'no' as well.
cloudstack: cs_instance: fix do not require name to be set to avoid clashes
Require one of display_name or name. If both is given, name is used as identifier.
cloudstack: fix name is not case insensitive
cloudstack: cs_template: implement state=extracted
Update f5 validate_certs functionality to do the right thing on multiple python versions
This requires the implementation in the module_utils code here
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13667 to funciton
fixed domain_id to actually be supported
also added domain as an alias
alt fixes#1437
Simplify the code and remove use_unsafe_shell=True
While there is no security issue with this shell snippet, it
is better to not rely on shell and avoid use_unsafe_shell.
Fix for issue #1074. Now able to create volume without replica's.
Improved fix for #1074. Both None and '' transform to fqdn.
Fix for ansible-modules-extras issue #1080
This prevents failing when a playbook describes a volume deletion and
is launched more that once.
Without this fix, if you run the playbook a second time, it will fail.
Loop compatibility for dry run exception handling
Route table deletion dry run handler
Fixing regression in propagating_vgw_ids default value
Adjusting truthiness of changed attribute for route manipulation
Updating propagating_vgw_ids default in docstring
One of inconvinence this address is the the fact that
you have to pass user's tags even if you just want to
add a permission rule
