* 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
As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.
If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.
This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.
* Consistency and document treatment of default bool values
* Document that default bool values can be any Ansible recognized bool.
choose the one that reads better in context
* For fragments used by the copy module, make bool types use type=bool and not choices
* Edit for clarity
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.
It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.
* Add explicit targets for and update refs
Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.
Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)
* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml
Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.
* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples
py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.
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.
* Add network value to support_by field.
* New support_by value, certified
* Deprecate curated in favor of certified
* Add conversion from 1.0 to 1.1 to metadata-tool
* Add supported by Red Hat field to ansible-doc output
We are reserving the _ identifier for i18n work. Code should use the
identifier dummy for dummy variables instead.
This test is currently skipped as someone needs to generate the list of
files which are currently out of compliance before this can be turned
on.
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:
- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
using special value "".
* Minor edits
Wording tweak
* Create get_exception and wildcard import code-smell tests
* Add more detail to boilerplate and no-basestring descriptions
* Remove the no-list-cmp test as the pylint undefined-variable test covers it
* ManageIQ: manageiq_user module, module utils and doc_fragment
ManageIQ is an open source management platform for Hybrid IT.
This change is adding:
- manageiq_user module, responsible for user management in ManageIQ
- manageiq utils
- manageiq doc_fragment
* Handle import error
* Use formatting options
* group parameter is required
* changed doesn't need to be an attribute
* resource dictionary should contain values which isn't None
* move from monitoring to remote-management
* Use ManageIQ nameing convention
* Do not set defauts in arguments
* Use idempotent state parameter instead of action
* Check import error in the manageiq util class
* Update the miq documentation
* rename the connection configuration from miq to manageiq_connection
* All messeges start with non cap, fix typos, add examples, rename vars
* more typos fixes
* Make sure we insert only strings to logs by using % formating
* use suboptions keyword for the manageiq connection
* do not log the managiq connection struct (it include sensitive information like username and password)
* add missing from __future__
* ahh, wrong no-log line
* Use sub options
* Added initial developing module doc for Windows
* Added to dev index, made formatting changes and moved obsolete docs
* changes based on PR feedback
* some typos and extra information
* Minor updates
* minor wording clarifications
* remove references to "remote" Windows hosts
* update template/text to remove legacy `#WANT_JSON`/`#POWERSHELL_COMMON`
* use per-execution envvars for ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES instead of stateful
* fix up minor sanity check issue
We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3. Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.
Also switch tables in the validate_modules documentation to simple table format
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides
a link to each major release's changelog
- Re-inforces how stable versions are maintained and for how long
- Moves this documentation out of the developer tree (this is
interesting for users too!) while keeping a link there.

* Tell people to look for an existing module PR
There are a number of different ways to find existing PRs that add new
modules. Tell people about them to potentially avoid duplicates.
* Light edits
The note only had one colon instead of two, which allowed it to pass rstcheck but failed to actually generate the note in the HTML.
Also remove an unnecessary trailing colon.

Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes
This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static
The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.
This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.

Fixes#18039
Remove extraneous sphinx config
The Python3 dev doc is more general than just modules
* Rename it to make that obvious.

We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
