* docs: Document disabling diff on task level
Tasks that deal with secrets may leak sensitive information when
running in Check Mode. This change updates the documentation explaining
that the diff can be deactivated on task level.
The feature was requested in #14860 and got introduced in Ansible 2.4
with #28581.
* Updated for clarity
The example regarding `include_*` is a bit unclear. First it seems like the v2.4 and v2.5 examples are the same. So I attempted to make the relevant change in the examples more obvious.

* 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
* Correct method to get timedelta seconds value
This also adds additional clarification for extracting different time/date values for time deltas
* Small edit
* allow ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES for local test runner
* add ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES to tox.ini, update docs
* Clarify handling of environment variables.
* Make use of named links in documentation notes
Now that it is possible to name external links, we are making use of
this to make the documentation better.
* Add improvements to ACI documentation
* Disable QA for long line
* Add :menuselection: and :guilabel:
* Improve links on some modules
* Explain what the Ansible Quickstart video does
Rewrote what video does. The video is really not teaching you how to do the work. It explains why you'd want to use Ansible and shows you what it takes (some sample code) . Video also introduces you to other products in the Ansible ecosystem.
* Edit
* Fixed indentation error in `facts-demo.yml` example.
`content` and `dest` should be indented under the `copy` module.
* Updated indentation of copy module in `facts-demo.yml` example.
Updated indentation of copy module in `facts-demo.yml` to be inline with its name.
* Add anchors to some guides and all module categories
This is required if we want to use *absolute* :ref: references instead of *relative* :doc: references.
* Update the Cisco ACI Guide reference
* Add `aci_guide` anchor
* Add `network_guide` anchor
* Add category anchor
* Improve readability
* Fix small typo
* Add instructions for creating backport PRs
* Update development_process.rst
simpler workflow
* Update development_process.rst
added origin note
* A few adjustments to clarity, use backport instead of cherry pick in branch name
* Address formatting issue
* fetch isn't a flag
* Fix rst formatting
After initializing a list in both Python2/Python3 with below elements,
I've tested the indexing and realised that the examples provided in the
documentation are erroneous.
As a result, update the examples with correct values in order to avoid
any future confusion.

* Docs refactor as outlined in https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/79. Moves content into 'guides'; refactors TOC; fixes CSS; design tweaks to layout and CSS; fixes generated plugin, CLI and module docs to fix links accodingly; more.
* Adding extra blank line for shippable
Since we pass information directly to ACI, we sometimes get error messages back to the user that require some additional information or context.
This PR includes:
- Changes to the default error output so the error is easier to find
when searching in e.g. Google
- 3 specific error messages that we have encountered and has confused
our users before
* Change wording of Going Further section
The original wording was confusing with its non-devel branch part.
Made it much clearer for people to understand what to do.
Also removed the git command for creating branches, I believe a
develop should be aware of how basic git commands work.
* Edited for concision and clarity.
* Typo fix
* Typo fix
* Assorted set of fixes
* Cosmetic changes to lists
* Add more information related to connection throttling
* Changes to TOC
* Document return values
* More improvements
* Fix casing in title
* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording
I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.
I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.
I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.
I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.
I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.
I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.
* Improve wording
* Add three more characters to forbidden first characters
* Update some examples to use proper YAML syntax.
* Make the requested changes so this builds properly.
Also fix emphasis line numbers to match what was being emphasized before
the change.
This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.
The major reasons behind deprecation are -
- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.
Please see [deprecation plan](https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/VMware%3A-vsphere_guest_deprecation)

* Update playbooks_best_practices.rst
If deploying to the first 10 hosts in Boston it should be "-limit boston[0:9]" and the next 10 should be "-limit boston[10:19]". The doc as written would skip the first host (boston[0]) and try to deploy to a host that doesn't exist (boston[20])

Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
The script fails if a Temp directory is not present in the system drive (e.g. C:\Temp).
This can be solved by using the TEMP environment variable instead.
This fix corrects the module state returned by github_module.
Now,
* When the release already exists, state is "ok"
* When the release is created, state is "changed"
