* 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.
- 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
This fix ensures that if there are specific module errors (in our case
the python interpreter was not found) then command and shell returns a
proper error.
It also fixes a few other imperfections that we noticed during
troubleshooting:
- Return the real RC if it were available
- Improve a dictionary evaluation using .get()
- Return an RC of -1 if it is unknown (instead of returning 0)
This fixes#18846
* Fix the task_vars parameter to not default to a mutable type (dict)
* Implement invocation in the base class's run() method have each action
module call the run() method's implemention in the base class.
* Return values from the action plugins' run() method takes the return
value from the base class run() method into account so that invocation
makes its way to the output.
Fixes#12869
