* Fix tmpdir on non root become
- also avoid exception if tmpdir and remote_tmp are None
- give 'None' on deescalation so tempfile will fallback to it's default behaviour
and use system dirs
- fix issue with bad tempdir (not existing/not createable/not writeable)
i.e nobody and ~/.ansible/tmp
- added tests for blockfile case
* Revert "Temporarily revert c119d54"
This reverts commit 5c614a59a6.
* changes based on PR feedback and changelog fragment
* changes based on the review
* Fix tmpdir when makedirs failed so we just use the system tmp
* Let missing remote_tmp fail
If remote_tmp is missing then there's something more basic wrong in the
communication from the controller to the module-side. It's better to
be alerted in this case than to silently ignore it.
jborean and I have independently checked what happens if the user sets
ansible_remote_tmp to empty string and !!null and both cases work fine.
(null is turned into a default value controller-side. empty string
triggers the warning because it is probably not a directory that the
become user is able to use).
There were bugs in this that needed to be resolved. No time to get the
fix reviewed sufficiently for 2.6.0.
We'll get this into 2.7.0 and try to get this into 2.6.1 as well.
Will need the work done in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/36218
when it does get merged.
* now get_url and other modules default to module temp dir
also fixed 'bare' exception
* allow modules to work with older versions
* updated docs per feedback
Added fix for missing imports and boilerplate in files modules,
also, removed get_exception calls to match 2.6> exception handling.

* using a _named_ capture in our assembled pattern, since before/after could potentially contain their own parenthesized captures
* ensuring we only replace against the named capture in question
* removing some duplication in the regexp replacement, that was introduced in ansible/ansible#22535
* fixed edge case of before/after not matching file content to replace

Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
