This PR includes:
- Fixes to the majority of module validation issues
(deliberate inconsistencies between docs and arg_spec)
- Removal of deprecated parameters 'method' and 'protocols'
- A few typos in the documentation
There are still some left-over validation errors, some are deliberate
(like doc strings as default to indicate ranges, etc.)
* Allow subspec defaults to be processed when the parent argument is not supplied
* Allow this to be configurable via apply_defaults on the parent
* Document attributes of arguments in argument_spec
* Switch manageiq_connection to use apply_defaults
* add choices to api_version in argument_spec
* vdirect modules: fix 'import' sanity test
* Remove passing file from import skip list.
* vdirect modules: fix validate-modules warnings
- Arguments with a default should not be marked as required
- add choices in doc
* vdirect_runnable: use formatting function
* should not need <>, but fails without
* adds anchor to keywords page, uses it on plugins pages
* fixes envvar link errors
* harmonize file name and ref name as python_3
* removes undefined-lable from ignore list
* a refactor of pool member and node modules to be inline with current f5 conventions
* Added priority_group_activation to pools
* various other small convention fixes and bug fixes
* Adds gnat provisioning to bigip_provision
* Adds special handling for AFM in bigip_provision
* Add device rebooting for provisioning as necessary
* Refactored route domain module to be inline with current f5 conventions
* Minor refactors across modules
* Remove raw byte-strings from cliconf plugins of supported platforms + edgeos
Remove uses of to_bytes, too
* Update CliConfBase docstring to reflect current position on byte strings
* Include change classification data in metadata.
* Add support for disabled tests.
* Add support for unstable tests.
* Add support for unsupported tests.
* Overhaul integration aliases sanity test.
* Update Shippable scripts to handle unstable tests.
* Mark unstable Azure tests.
* Mark unstable Windows tests.
* Mark disabled tests.
* Start of tests for ansible.module_utils.urls
* Start adding file for generic functions throughout urls
* Add tests for maybe_add_ssl_handler
* Remove commented out line
* Improve coverage of maybe_add_ssl_handler, test basic_auth_header
* Start tests for open_url
* pep8 and ignore urlopen in test_url_open.py tests
* Extend auth tests, add test for validate_certs=False
* Finish tests for open_url
* Add tests for fetch_url
* Add fetch_url tests to replace-urlopen ignore
* dummy instead of _
* Add BadStatusLine test
* Reorganize/rename tests
* Add tests for RedirectHandlerFactory
* Add POST test to confirm behavior is to convert to GET
* Update tests to handle recent changes to RedirectHandlerFactory
* Special test, just to confirm that aliasing http_error_308 to http_error_307 does not cause issues with urllib2 type redirects
* tolerate windows line endings when loading windows module utils. Helpful for old custom windows modules.
* add test modules to demonstrate win line ending module load behaviour.
* attempt to fix sanity check failures
* pep8 fix
* explict skip of test modules from shebang check (core modules must still have expected unix style line endings)
* switch to rstrip() following core team meeting feedback
* Use arg_spec type for comparisons on default and choices
* Further improve type casting
* Make sure to capture output in more places
* Individually report invalid choices
* Update ignore.txt after resolving merge conflicts
* Clean up Grafana docs a bit
But more is needed, default values, missing choices, proper
descriptions, actual sentences :-)
* Remove validate-modules entries
