This PR is based on #20164 functionality to specify the parameter type
(e.g. as done for python modules).
In this case only -type "path" has a specific meaning, as it will expand
environment variables for paths. Which is typically done on Windows.
So you can do:
- win_copy:
src: files/some.doc
dest: '%UserProfile%\My Documents'
* win_shortcut: Create, manage, remove Windows shortcuts
This modules manages Windows shortcuts and all its properties.
The module is idempotent and supports check-mode.
This relates to #19694
* Changes required after @nitzmahone review
* Added -type "path" to parameter definitions
* Small fixes
- Add conversion from window style name to window style id
- Fix error message output (Why didn't the original work ?)
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.
* Fixes#3539 "win_robocopy does not return changed properly"
Remove .win_robocopy from $result so that ansible can see the values properly. This also matches up with the existing documentation.
* Update documentation to match new return values
* Issue #19575: Adding Dest Param to win_uri
Added `dest` param to win_uri. Outputs the response body to a specified
file.
