The following changes have been made:
- Added check-mode support
- Added parameter type support
- Replace PSObject by a normal dictionary
- Improve idempotency (only when $dest is provided it is not idempotent (yet)
I intended to update the documentation, but it appears the website docs
are behind the actual documentation (as the website doesn't show the
default values for booleans).
So I ended up adding the missing -type "path" and use the default $null
value for undefined parameters.
The following playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- file:
path: /tmp/non-existing-foo-bar
state: absent
recurse: yes
```
causes this error:
```
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "recurse option requires state to be 'directory'", "path": "/tmp/non-existing-foo-bar", "state": "absent"}
```
The included fix ensures that when recurse is added, we no longer assume
it is a file, but accept that it is a directory.
- Harmonize the name $params like most modules
- Use `return` consistently for return values (easier to read)
- Implement Get-AnsibleParam internally using -type "bool"
- Use a dictionary for $result
* Revamping module development docs - work in progress

* Fixed an issue when dealing with multiple disks. Added a bit more documentation explaining the disks argument
* Corrected a typo in the multi-disk snapshot example
* Updated module to return list of changed snapshots instead of just a message. Added a RETURN block

* win_copy: Fix for idempotency
This patch fixes an idempotency issue with win_copy. Without this patch
files would always be considered changed (unless the copy operation failed).
It also fixes the resulting output cfr. what was deocumented.
Small improvements:
- Remove obsolete comments
- Use $check_mode instead of my own $_ansible_check_mode
- Renamed "default" window style to "normal" (as is used by Windows
documentation)
- A fix for check-mode support (when state=absent)
* eos module now uses network_cli connection plugin
* adds unit tests for eos module
* eapi support now provided by eapi module
* updates doc fragment for eapi common properties
* Fixed issue in gce_net with firewall rules that have protocols that do not have ports.
* Fixed elif in gce_net to include check of the ports variable.
* Google Cloud Pubsub Module
The Google Cloud Pubsub module allows the Ansible user to:
* Create/Delete Topics
* Create/Delete Subscriptions
* Change subscription from pull to push (and configure endpoint)
* Publish messages to a topic
* Pull messages from a Subscription
An accessory module, gcpubsub_facts, has been added to list topics and subscriptions.
* Added docs for state field to DOCUMENTATION and RETURN blocks.
`force` option is not unique for non-activationkey registrations and it should
be parsed separately; it is possible to register host with activation key and
force such process.
* redhat_subscription: enforce the need for org_id when AK is used
also update the documentation to reflect that
Fixes: #20542
* redhat_subscription: check for existence of subscription-manager
After merging the latest update, these were the few remaining
differences with upstream.
(Plus the previous proposed fast match based on unique VM name which is
not longer needed)
