This warning was intended to help improve test environment configuration.
However, it has ended up producing mostly non-actionable warning noise instead.
In most situations a missing pip or python should result in test failures.
Reporting a missing pip also implies that it should be used by tests, which is not the case.
Tests should be invoking pip as a python module with the appropriate python interpreter instead.

* DOCS: updates intersphinx references for docs links
* TESTS: Raise the number of bytes scanned to determine if a file is binary. The newest ansible-2.10.inv file has its first null byte at position 2261. 4096 is still a cheap chunksize to read so it still makes sense to raise this.

Changes to sanity and unit tests now trigger the ansible-test self-test integration tests.
No changelog entry since this only affects tests for ansible itself and not collections.
There are links from the scenario guides to collections but collections
docs aren't built in testing or locally when we're on the devel branch.
Due to that we need to make sure those references resolve to the
production docsite. We can use intersphinx to make sure that happens.
* The test for binary files wasn't reading enough of the file.
Checking for null bytes in the first 1024 bytes failed to diagnose the
ansible_2_10.inv file as binary
* Test against galaxy_ng
* Switch container image

* config: singular ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH
Every other *_PATH setting in ansible is singular, and the traditional
$PATH variable is also singular despite containing a list of
directories. Let's be consistent both internally and with POSIX
tradition.
* update all ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS env references to be singular
* deprecate plural ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS setting
Replace the ansible-base changelog linting and generation tool with antsibull-changelog and make it available for linting collections. Previously changelog linting was limited to ansible-base.
Ensure the vcenter provider initialize the `module_defaults` of all
the vmware modules, not just `vmware_guest`.
The VMware CI relies on this for the authentication of the different
VMware modules.
The commit adjust `incidental_vmware_prepare_tests/tasks/init_vcsim.yml`.
The test-suite uses a copy of `vmware_guest` that is not in the
`group/vmware` group. As a result, we need to manually pass the
authentification parameter.
Some code-smell sanity tests for ansible-base use subprocess to invoke ansible commands.
Intercept these commands to make sure the correct script and python version are used.
* Move ansible-test completion code.
* Fix a few type hints.
* Change docker completion based on context.
Collections now use version 2.0 of the default-test-container.
This is an updated version of the earlier 1.x default-test-container with ansible-base and cloud specific requirements removed.
Testing of ansible-base now uses version 1.0 of a new ansible-base-test-container.
This container is similar to the earlier 1.x default-test-container, but with unnecessary duplication of requirements across Python versions removed.
Collections which have tests that depend on requirements no longer present in the default test container should specify them in their test requirements files:
* tests/integration/requirements.txt
* tests/unit/requirements.txt
* Bump test container versions

The last task in a play should now properly report code coverage.
This change should also eliminate empty coverage files, as well as incomplete coverage files resulting from early worker termination.
* Fix ansible-test coverage analysis option usage.
The `--input-dir` option for `coverage analyze targets generate` was being ignored.
No changelog entry since this feature has not yet been released.
* Move coverage config to fix type annotations.
Declaring the types before referencing them makes sure they're recognized by tools such as PyCharm.
Now empty `*.py` files are ignored during module_utils import analysis for change detection.
This eliminates "No imports found" warnings for files which should have no imports.
* ansible-galaxy - optimise some paths and use fake galaxy int tests
* Added init, built, and publish tests
* Test against both mocked Galaxy and AH server
* Finish off writing the install tests
* Fix up broken tests

* Set release version and fix copy typo
* Remove reset step as it is no longer needed
* Use sane env var names for test container name
Make AWS test plugin to refer to the aws-permissions-for-integration-tests section of the AWS devel docs now that we have them, rather than suggesting to flag down specific users.
* Support private test plugins in ansible-test.
This feature is exclusively used for testing Ansible itself and is not available to collections.
Content in the newly supported directories will be added in follow-up PRs.
* Add new directory to path classification.
* Support new paths in shebang test.
* Add new directory to manifest.
* Add warning when running devel. Addresses #67362
* Add config entry to disable devel warning, so it doesn't impact CI
* Update warning about using devel
* Refactor coverage file enumeration.
* Relocate sanitize_filename function.

* Update type hints on CoverageConfig.
* Split out logic for finding modules.
* Split out arc enumeration.
* Split out powershell coverage enumeration.
* Raise verbosity level of empty coverage warnings.
* Add code coverage target analysis to ansible-test.
This change moves all code for the `ansible-test coverage` command into the `coverage` directory.
Each subcommand is split into a separate file.
Only minor spelling changes were made aside from code relocation.
Bind the govcsim service on port 1443, this way we don't need root privilege
to start the container. This allow us to use ansible-test with podman
seamlessly.
The commit also avoid the mapping of port 80. We don't need it.
Check that all yaml we ship is parsable by the pyyaml c backend. Since
Ansible uses Pyyaml for docs and playbooks, if the yaml files aren't
parsable, they will error out if they were used.
Warn and skip yamllint if libyaml backend is not present
Ignore new errors in examples until someone can fix them
* Revert most of PR #61605 commit e218c9814c
This removes the git error handling that converted all git errors into warnings.
* Fix ansible-test handling of git submodules.
Use the --venv option instead.
This option was only available when running from source to test the ansible/ansible repository.
This will have no effect on testing collections or running from an installed version of Ansible.
Also update docs to reference the --venv option instead of the --tox option.
* Fix validate-modules support for collections.
- Relative imports now work correctly.
- The collection loader is now used.
- Modules are invoked as `__main__`.
* Remove obsolete validate-modules code ignores.
* Handle sys.exit in validate-modules.
* Add check for AnsibleModule initialization.
* Remove `missing-module-utils-import` check.
This check does not support relative imports or collections.
Instead of trying to overhaul the test, we can rely on the `ansible-module-not-initialized` test instead.
* Fix badly named error codes with `c#` in the name.
The `#` conflicts with comments in the sanity test ignore files.
* Add changelog entries.
* fix default collection resolution in adhoc
* if an adhoc command is run with a playbook-dir under a configured collection, default collection resolution is used to resolve unqualified module/action names
* Set ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK_DIR in integration tests.
* Fix config conflict in ansible integration test.
* add adhoc default collection test
* text-ify warning string
Newer versions of ssh-keygen create PEM keys that are not recognized by Paramiko.
Now ansible-test compensates for this by updating they keys it generates so Paramiko will recognize them.
Previously the temporary directory used to run integration tests resided under the user's home directory. This prevented ansible-playbook from detecting the default collection when running tests.
Now the temporary directory is created within the collection to facilitate default collection detection.
This fixes test errors related to failures copying temporary test results files from a remote system back to the local system.
It also speeds up processing of test results and reduces network utilization by avoiding the temporary files.
Running from an installed version of ansible-test now results in tests using a dedicated directory for PYTHONPATH instead of using the site-packages directory where ansible is installed.
This provides consistency with tests running from source, which already used a dedicated directory.
Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/62716
Until now, the vcenter provider was switching between `static` and
`govcsim` depending on the presence of the following configuration file:
`test/integration/cloud-config-vcenter.ini`.
This was not consistent with Worldstream, which we enable with the
`VMWARE_TEST_PLATFORM` environment variable.
We now only rely on `VMWARE_TEST_PLATFORM` to know which platform should be
used. `govcsim` is still the default, this to preserve the original
behaviour.
This commit also rename the following variables to be consistent with the rest
of the code base. It also ensures they are alway defined, even with `govcsim`:
- `VCENTER_HOSTNAME`
- `VCENTER_USERNAME`
- `VCENTER_PASSWORD`
The documentation links are now displayed when running from an install.
Previously the links were only displayed when running from source.
This was due to ansible-test checking for the presence of documentation files locally, which are only present when running from source.
The check is no longer necessary since there is a sanity test in place to enforce the presence of documentation for all sanity tests.
The default behavior of the ansible-test vcenter plugin is to use the govcsim container to run tests.
However, unless the govcsim mode was specified using the VMWARE_TEST_PLATFORM environment variable, the filter code would skip the tests unless the tests ran on Shippable or the user had an ansible-core-ci key.
Now the filter correctly recognizes that govcsim is the default.
* Fix location of unit test requirements.
* Preserve ansible-test unit test requirements.
* Remove redundant unit test requirements.
* Fix location of network test requirements.
* Preserve ansible-test network test requirements.
* Remove redundant network test requirements.
* Add missing ordereddict requirements.
* Load collection requirements correctly.
* Add changelog fragment.
* Avoid assertion rewriting in pytest plugins.
Adding PYTEST_DONT_REWRITE to the ansible-test pytest plugin docstrings disables assertion rewriting in pytest for those plugins.
This avoids warnings during test execution if the plugins are loaded multiple times (such as being imported within tests).
* Run ansible-test pytest plugins early.
The ansible-test pytest plugins need to load and run earlier than conftest modules.
To facilitate this, the pytest_configure function is run during loading, which works since they are loaded (but not always run) before conftest modules are loaded.
A check has also been added to the pytest_configure functions to prevent them from running multiple times in the same process.
* Load pytest plugins using an env var.
The -p command line option loads plugins before conftest, but only during collection.
The PYTEST_PLUGINS environment variable loads plugins before confest, both during collection and test execution.
Creating a virtual environment using `venv` when running in a virtual environment created by `virtualenv` results in a copy of the original virtual environment instead of creation of a new one.
To work around this, `ansible-test` now identifies when it is running in a `virtualenv` created virtual environment and uses the real Python interpreter to create the `venv` virtual environment.
The `test/results/` directory for Ansible test output was already ignored when not using git.
When Ansible Collections were switched to `tests/output/` the ignore entry was previously overlooked.
* Fix ansible-doc traceback for removed modules.
This avoids tracebacks with errors like the following when a module has been removed:
module module_name missing documentation (or could not parse documentation): 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment
* Fix ansible-doc sanity test warning handling.
Warnings about removed modules/plugins on stderr are now properly ignored.
Previously an ansible-doc error could result in unrelated errors going undetected because tests were stopped early and the underlying error was ignored.
* Fix ansible-test venv activation.
When using the ansible-test --venv option, an execv wrapper for each python interpreter is now used instead of a symbolic link.
* Fix ansible-test execv wrapper generation.
Use the currently running Python interpreter for the shebang in the execv wrapper instead of the selected interpreter.
This allows the wrapper to work when the selected interpreter is a script instead of a binary.
* Fix ansible-test sanity requirements install.
When running sanity tests on multiple Python versions, install requirements for all versions used instead of only the default version.
* Fix ansible-test --venv when installed.
When running ansible-test from an install, the --venv delegation option needs to make sure the ansible-test code is available in the created virtual environment.
Exposing system site packages does not work because the virtual environment may be for a different Python version than the one on which ansible-test is installed.
* ansible-test - Contiune if the git command returns an error
* Just return stdout
* Use to_text() when displaying exception
* Add a message property to SubprocessError
The `git submodule status` command is relative to the current git repository by default.
When running from a repository subdirectory paths can be returned above the current directory.
Specifying the current directory with `git submodule status` avoids listing submodules above that directory.
This will fix issues when testing a collection that is rooted below the repository root when that repository uses submodules.
* Update collections integration targets path.
* Fix integration path handling.
* Add collections test target fallback.
Also add warnings and errors for common path mistakes.
* Improve role target detection.
This directory is currently a fixed location to make troubleshooting easier.
It is cleared before each test target runs, but is preserved when a test target finishes.
This allows the contents to be inspected when a test fails.
The previous location was `~/ansible_testing/`.
The new location is within the content root:
- `test/results/.tmp/output_dir` for Ansible
- `tests/output/.tmp/output_dir` for Ansible Collections
Moving the directory reduces the number of places on the filesystem where tests create output.
It also enables the results to be returned from delegated systems.
* Clean up layout paths for integration tests.
* Remove "special" integration test target type.
* Remove unnecessary role detection logic.
* Remove support for non-sh runme scripts.
* Simplify reading of aliases.
The directories used for collections tests are changing as follows:
`test/` -> `tests/`
`test/results/` -> `tests/output/`
This is a breaking change for collections tests executed by ansible-test.
All collections will need to be updated to use the new directory.
The `tests/output/` directory should be added to the `.gitignore` or equivalent in each collection.
This change is being made before the first pre-release of Ansible 2.9 since ansible-test has not yet been shipped.
Using the `tests/` directory matches the other collections directories `plugins/` and `roles/`.
This resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/60218
* Add --venv delegation to ansible-test.
* Update import sanity test venv creation.

ansible-test: async deployment w/ vcenter provider
So far, `ansible-test`'s vcenter provider was trigger by a blocking POST
call. Since the depoyment take a lot of time (> 8m), we decided to use
an async call instead and poll the API server until the deployment
is ready.
* Relocate ansible-test self tests outside package.
We don't want to include the tests for verifying ansible-test within the ansible-test package.
* Add `test/ansible_test/` to classification.py.
* Fix test invocation.
* Relocate tests in MANIFEST.in.
* Improve package-data sanity test error checking.
* Only use includes for ansible-test in MANIFEST.in.
* Improve readability of MANIFEST.in.
* Run no-unwanted-files sanity test only on Ansible.
Since collections should be able to use binary modules there is not really any limit on what could exist in a collection `plugins` directory.
* Add support for symlinks in sanity target lists:
- Sanity tests that need to analyze symlinks can do so using the supplied target list.
- Tests that analyze directories will now only look at symlinks if requested.
- Directory symlinks will now be seen as directories instead of files.
* Enable symlinks on filename based sanity tests.
Sanity tests that evalulate filenames instead of content should include symlinks.
* Update symlinks sanity test.
Use the sanity test target list now that it can include symlinks.
DCI uses an inventory directory instead of a file, along with --no-temp-workdir.
This changes the inventory check to keep that scenario working until all DCI jobs can be migrated to Zuul.
* Update ansible-test collection inventory handling.
- The `windows-integration` command now supports the `--inventory` option.
- The incomplete support for host_vars and group_vars directories has been removed.
- The incomplete support for an inventory directory has been removed.
- The inventory specified by `--inventory` can now reside outside the install and content roots.
- Using `ansible_ssh_private_key_file` with `--docker` or `--remote` results in a warning about the combination being unsupported and likely to fail.
* Fix config handling.
* Fix payload handling of ssh keys.
* Disable pylint no-self-use rule for ansible-test.
* De-duplicate payload paths.
Host specific settings are created as part of the generated inventory instead of using a host_vars directory.
Also update connection tests to work properly with the generated inventory changes.
