Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
The existing examples in the "Gotchas" section were rather simple. Expanded upon those to add some additional clarity around how the quoting in YAML works.
* Added example of referring to AWS-credentials
.. when they're stored in variables. Spent few hours trying to figure out why credentials from vault/variables were not used.
* Update guide_aws.rst
Edited for grammar.
* inventory: test 'all' & 'ungrouped' groups created by default
* Mention default groups 'all' & 'ungrouped'
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor grammatical edit.
This commit also adds a new test script (ansible-var-precedence-check.py in code-smell/)
to provide us with another line of defense against precedence bugs going forward.
The precedence docs state that the INI vars have a lower precedence than group/host
vars files for inventory and playbooks, however that has not been the case since 2.0
was released. This change fixes that in one way, though not exactly as the docs say.
The rules are:
1) INI/script < inventory dir < playbook dir
2) "all" group vars < other group_vars < host_vars
So the new order will be (from the test script mentioned above):
8. pb_host_vars_file - var in playbook/host_vars/host
9. ini_host_vars_file - var in inventory/host_vars/host
10. ini_host - host var inside the ini
11. pb_group_vars_file_child - var in playbook/group_vars/child
12. ini_group_vars_file_child - var in inventory/group_vars/child
13. pb_group_vars_file_parent - var in playbook/group_vars/parent
14. ini_group_vars_file_parent - var in inventory/group_vars/parent
15. pb_group_vars_file_all - var in playbook/group_vars/all
16. ini_group_vars_file_all - var in inventory/group_vars/all
17. ini_child - child group var inside the ini
18. ini_parent - parent group var inside the ini
19. ini_all - all group var inside the ini
Fixes#21845
* Add role skeleton support
The default role skeleton used by ansible-galaxy is good, but it doesn't
allow organizations to customize it to suit their needs. This patch
addresses that by adding the option to point ansible-galaxy at a
role skeleton directory. The contents of this directory are then
copied (or rendered) into the output role directory. Appropriate
command line options and configuration entries are added to allow for
further customization from the role skeleton.
* Remove dependency on platforms list from test
Platforms are no longer provided to the template by galaxy init.
Removing the code in our test meta/main.yml template that relied on it.
* Fix whitespace issue
* Fixes passlib example in FAQ to reduce the number of rounds to 5000
As stated in issue #15326, the default number for glibc is 5000, where
the default for passlib is 656000.
I actually found out when I spend few hours trying to understand why
ansible was taking almost x3 the time to run a playbook when using a
user with sudo and password (comparared to sudo with NOPASSWD set).
Well, it was because the user was created using ansible and the passlib
example found in the docs' FAQ.
Reducing the numbers of rounds to 5000 will ensure a better experience
with ansible for newcomers when using sudo with a password.
* Fixes passlib example in FAQ to reflect the API changes in passlib 1.7
Method encrypt() was deprecated in 1.7 and renamed to hash(), which
happened almost a year ago.
