* fixed network automation index issues
* replace :doc: with :ref:
* fixed anchor misspelling
* fix toc/nav issue -do not put toctree under a subheader
* Share the implementation of hashing for both vars_prompt and password_hash.
* vars_prompt with encrypt does not require passlib for the algorithms
supported by crypt.
* Additional checks ensure that there is always a result.
This works around issues in the crypt.crypt python function that returns
None for algorithms it does not know.
Some modules (like user module) interprets None as no password at all,
which is misleading.
* The password_hash filter supports all parameters of passlib.
This allows users to provide a rounds parameter, fixing #15326.
* password_hash is not restricted to the subset provided by crypt.crypt,
fixing one half of #17266.
* Updated documentation fixes other half of #17266.
* password_hash does not hard-code the salt-length, which fixes bcrypt
in connection with passlib.
bcrypt requires a salt with length 22, which fixes#25347
* Salts are only generated by ansible when using crypt.crypt.
Otherwise passlib generates them.
* Avoids deprecated functionality of passlib with newer library versions.
* When no rounds are specified for sha256/sha256_crypt and sha512/sha512_crypt
always uses the default values used by crypt, i.e. 5000 rounds.
Before when installed passlibs' defaults were used.
passlib changes its defaults with newer library versions, leading to non
idempotent behavior.
NOTE: This will lead to the recalculation of existing hashes generated
with passlib and without a rounds parameter.
Yet henceforth the hashes will remain the same.
No matter the installed passlib version.
Making these hashes idempotent.
Fixes#15326Fixes#17266Fixes#25347 except bcrypt still uses 2a, instead of the suggested 2b.
* random_salt is solely handled by encrypt.py.
There is no _random_salt function there anymore.
Also the test moved to test_encrypt.py.
* Uses pytest.skip when passlib is not available, instead of a silent return.
* More checks are executed when passlib is not available.
* Moves tests that require passlib into their own test-function.
* Uses the six library to reraise the exception.
* Fixes integration test.
When no rounds are provided the defaults of crypt are used.
In that case the rounds are not part of the resulting MCF output.
* Fix ansible-doc wrt removed modules
* Fix listing of modules ia ansible-doc to not complain about removed modules
Removed modules are marked as such in the metadata but nowhere else.
Need to retrieve the metadata when a module doesn't have a doc so that
we can tell if it falls under this case.
* omit removed modules from json dump
* Print an error that the module has been removed if attempting to run
ansible-doc on that specific module
* Get plugin_formatter to stop outputting removed modules
Since the ACI modules (like most network-related modules) run on the
local controller, this PR adds the necessary details so users are aware
of this particular feature.
Extends `module_defaults` by adding a prefix to defaults `group/` which denotes a builtin list of modules. Initial groups are: `group/aws`, `group/azure`, and `group/gcp`
Wow, this does not seem to be an uncommon misspelling. Might be there
are some left that span over two lines. I noticed the one in the git
module and then used `grep -rw 'the the'` to find some more.
Blocks currently don't support loops such as with_items or sequence. It would be helpful to make this clear in the docs otherwise it's a bit of a gotcha.

Example instantiates an AnsibleError which derives from Exception but doesn't actually raise it like intended. This is misleading as it's not clear without examining the code for AnsibleError to know that it's not some function which would raise the exception automatically.

Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

The example has:
`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b') }}`
It needs be double backslashes to escape the backslashes:
`{{ 'Some DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4' | regex_findall('\\b(?:[0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\\b') }}`
