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()
```
* Skip parameters that are being deprecated
So in most cases when parameters are deprecated, you may not want to
advertise them in the documentation. One reason for this is because
these parameters were not introduced within Ansible but predate
upstreaming them.
So this change avoids reporting parameters that are not documented and
are deprecated. It's only a small subset of the existing E322 errors.
* Add support for E323 with these changes
* Unsure about the other issues now
* Add better error message with E321
* Restore some erroneously remove files
* Readd false positives to ignore.txt
* compare arg+aliases between docs and argument_spec
* Add some special handling for the network modules provider options that also appear in the top level arg spec
* Fix error code for bigip_hostname
* Address merge conflicts due to changes in f5 modules
* Update validate-modules ignore based off a clean execution
* Address merge conflicts
* Address renamed module
* Address recent changes to modules
* Add ignore for ucs_ip_pool
* Update aci modules to get more reliable documentation comparison, but not mutating the module_utils aci_argument_spec
* Update ignore.txt after recent aci updates
* Add extra guard to ensure we handle provider special only for network modules
* Address additional changes to modules
This patch is primarily a refactor to make the validate-modules arg-spec
no longer generate a traceback. It additionally includes removal of deprecated
code in the virtual server module.
The main patch is to remove the traceback generating code. There are
other small fixes that were made in addition to doing that.
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg.
* Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
The main purpose of this patch is to do the refactor that
supports replacing tracebacks with fail_json. Additionally, the
following was done.
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg.
* Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
Primarily, this patch contains refactors to remove tracebacks that
are generated when libraries are missing. There is also,
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg. Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
This patch was primarily an effort to reduce traceback errors for
work that sivel was doing. Part of (and in some cases in addition to)
that, the following was done.
* Removed re-def of cleanup_tokens.
* Changed parameter args to be keywords.
* Changed imports to include new module_util locations.
* Imports also include developing (sideband) module_util locations.
* Changed to using F5Client and plain AnsibleModule to prevent tracebacks caused by missing libraries.
* Removed init and update methods from most Parameter classes (optimization) as its now included in module_utils.
* Changed module and module param references to take into account the new self.module arg.
* Minor bug fixes made during this refactor.
* Update validate-modules arg_spec introspection to be faster, by only mocking the imports we explicitly list
* The use of types.MethodType in redhat_subscription wasn't py3 compatible, use partial instead
* Remove argument_spec import hacks, make them errors, we can ignore them with ansible-test
* Enable the --arg-spec flag for validate-modules
