* updated docs
- for devs:
- added inventory/vars section
- made some updates to general section and other plugin types
- for users:
- added 'user' plugin section to start describing the plugins
- docs on types, what they are and how to use
- removed ref to deleted AUTHORS file
- corrected several typos/headers
- added descriptions to config.rst template
- ignore generated files for cli/plugins and config
- remove new generated files on `make clean`
- moved details from devguid and intro doc to plugin specific pages
- pretied up lookup notes
- changed precedence ref to not conflict config
- removed duplicate config data, as config is autogenerated and up to date
- put new plugins under playbooks
- added `pass` cause rst/python dislikes fractions
- removed dupe in .gitignore, alpha sorted to avoid moar dupes
- added try cause rst/python freaks out
* generate plugins into their own dir
only do plugins that support docs
use toctree from main plugins page
* Fix nxos provider transport warning issue
* Add default value of transport arg in provider spec
* Remove default value if transport arg in top level spec
This ensure deprecation warning is seen only in case transport
is given as a top level arg in task
* Refactor nxos modules to reference transport value from provider
spec
* Fix unit test
* Remove transport arg assignment in nxos action plugin
* As assigning transport value is handled in provider spec
top level task arg assignment is no longer required
This PR includes:
- Support for loop-tasks with proper subject/error content
- Improved output (and proper indentation)
- Complex data structures are now pretty printed
- Better selection of mail subject
* Restore correct coloring to selective callback
This fixes the bug raised in #30506
* Fix format issues for Python 2.6 & indent
Removed the zero length fields to support format under Python 2.6
Fixed E128 continuation line under-indented for visual indent issue
* finalize lookup documentation
* minor fixes to ansible-doc
- actually show which file caused error on when listing plugins
- removed redundant display of type and name
* smart quote fixes from toshio
* fixed issue with default callback inheritance
- callbacks need to document same options as callbacks they inherit from to get them configured
- since default is also used by many 3rd party callbacks for inheritance, making the code 'tolerate' the missing docs
and fallback to using the direct constant to configure it's options.
The dellos action plugins should add the remote address of the switch
provider to the play context. This was fixed in issue #23589 in an
almost identical manner for the eos, ios, iosxr, and vyos action
plugins.
Fixes: #30350

* provider gets set to None in module level when transport is cli

Fixes#29060
Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.
Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.
However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.
* Fix unwanted deprecation message in network module argspec
Fixes#25663Fixes#24537
* segregate provider spec and top level arg spec
* add deprecation key in top level arg spec
* remove action plugin code to load provider and add
that logic at a common place in network_common.py file
* Fix CI issue
* Minor change
* Using docstrings conflicts with the standard use of docstrings
* PYTHON_OPTIMIZE=2 will omit docstrings. Using docstrings makes future
changes to the plugin and module code subject to the requirement that we
ensure it won't be run with optimization.
* module and vault fixes
- fix module_path cli option and usage, which fixes#29653
- move --output to be in subset of vault cli, no need for all vault enabled cli to use it
- added debug to loader to see directories added
* only complain about ini deprecation if value is set
* set plugin config for stdout and other types
* updated plugin docs, moved several plugins to new config
* finished ssh docs
* fixed some issues seen in plugins while modifying docs
* placeholder for 'required'
* callbacks must use _plugin_options as _options already in use
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string. Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.
- better variable precedence management
- universal plugin option handling
- also updated comments for future directions
- leverage fragments for plugins
- removed fact namespacing
- added 'firendly name' field
- updated missing descriptions
- removed some unused yaml entries, updated others to reflect possible future
- documented more plugins
- allow reading docs using alias
- short licenses
- corrected args for 'all plugins'
- fixed -a option for ansible-doc
- updated vars plugins to allow docs
- fixed 'gathering'
- only set options IF connection
- added path list and renamed pathspec mostly the diff is , vs : as separator
- readded removed config entries that were deprecated but had no message ... and deprecated again
- now deprecated entries give warning when set
* cleaner get for file based caches
* now db based facts behave like file ones
we now keep local in mem cache to avoid race conditions on expiration during ansible runs
* Fix encoding errors on grp.gr_name, which can contain non-ascii character at LDAP/AD domain workstations
* fix: utils.to_text() is now used instead of py3-incompatible unicode() method
So 5 years after the original version, it's time to give this callback
plugin some needed rework.
This PR includes:
- Reuse same logic for failed, unreachable or Async errors
- Add playbook and task information at the top (easier to find context)
- Improve the sections (ie. indented content)
This is part of the effort to make windows parameters conform to
other modules. Usually parameters don't include the unit in the
parameter name.
