* ansible-test - Avoid use of deprecated type hints.
PEP 585 deprecated many container types in the `typing` module in favor of the actual types, which support subscripting as of Python 3.9.
Conversion of `t.Type` was skipped since PyCharm does not currently recognize it.
* ansible-test - Fix `t` and `c` imports/shadowing.
* Simple regex replace of multi-line function arg annotations on the first line.
* Manually fix up ArgumentParser type annotations.
* Manual type hint conversions.
* Manual conversion of function type hints.
* Remove unnecessary type hints on for statements.
* Simple regex replace of multi-line function arg annotations.
* Simple regex replace of multi-line function arg annotations with default values.
* Simple regex replace of multi-line function arg return annotations.
* Simple regex replace of assignment annotations.
* ansible-test - Use more native type hints.
Simple search and replace to switch from comments to native type hints for return types of functions with no arguments.
* ansible-test - Use more native type hints.
Conversion of simple single-line function annotation type comments to native type hints.
* ansible-test - Use more native type hints.
Conversion of single-line function annotation type comments with default values to native type hints.
* ansible-test - Use more native type hints.
Manual conversion of type annotation comments for functions which have pylint directives.
Now that core requires UTF-8 filesystem encoding, ansible-test does as well.
Additionally, the `en_US.UTF-8` or `C.UTF-8` encoding must be available.
Previously the `en_US.UTF-8` encoding was requested, but its availability was never verified.
The fallback to `C.UTF-8` maintains UTF-8 encoding while allowing more flexibility in the running environment.
* ansible-test - Add shell --export option.
* ansible-test - Support cmd args for shell command.
Also allow shell to be used without a valid layout if no delegation is required.
* ansible-test - Improve stderr/stdout consistency.
By default all output goes to stdout only, with the exception of a fatal error.
When using any of the following, all output defaults to stderr instead:
* sanity with the `--lint` option -- sanity messages to stdout
* coverage analyze -- output to stdout if the output file is `/dev/stdout`
* shell -- shell output to stdout
This fixes issues two main issues:
* Unpredictable output order when using both info and error/warning messages.
* Mixing of lint/command/shell output with bootstrapping messages on stdout.
* ansible-test - Add changelog fragment.
* Run code-smell sanity tests in UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess use in sanity test programs.
* Use raw_command instead of run_command with always=True set.
* Add more capture=True usage.
* Don't expose stdin to subprocesses.
* Capture more output. Warn on retry.
* Add more captures.
* Capture coverage cli output.
* Capture windows and network host checks.
* Be explicit about interactive usage.
* Use a shell for non-captured, non-interactive subprocesses.
* Add integration test to assert no TTY.
* Add unit test to assert no TTY.
* Require blocking stdin/stdout/stderr.
* Use subprocess.run in ansible-core sanity tests.
* Remove unused arg.
* Be explicit with subprocess.run check=False.
* Add changelog.
* Use a Python subprocess instead of a shell.
* Use InternalError instead of Exception.
* Require capture argument.
* Check for invalid raw_command arguments.
* Removed pointless communicate=True usage.
* Relocate stdout w/o capture check.
* Use threads instead of a subprocess for IO.
* Run code-smell sanity tests in UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess use in sanity test programs.
* Use raw_command instead of run_command with always=True set.
* Add more capture=True usage.
* Don't expose stdin to subprocesses.
* Capture more output. Warn on retry.
* Add more captures.
* Capture coverage cli output.
* Capture windows and network host checks.
* Be explicit about interactive usage.
* Use a shell for non-captured, non-interactive subprocesses.
* Add integration test to assert no TTY.
* Add unit test to assert no TTY.
* Require blocking stdin/stdout/stderr.
* Use subprocess.run in ansible-core sanity tests.
* Remove unused arg.
* Be explicit with subprocess.run check=False.
* Add changelog.
* Remove unnecessary PyCharm ignores.
* Ignore intentional undefined attribute usage.
* Add missing type hints. Fix existing type hints.
* Fix docstrings and comments.
* Use function to register completion handler.
* Pass strings to display functions.
* Fix CompositeAction handling of dest argument.
* Use consistent types in expressions/assignments.
* Use custom function to keep linters happy.
* Add missing raise for custom exception.
* Clean up key/value type handling in cloud plugins.
* Use dataclass instead of dict for results.
* Add custom type_guard function to check lists.
* Ignore return type that can't be checked (yet).
* Avoid changing types on local variables.
* ansible-test - Clarify need for empty __init__.py
* ansible-test - Update code-smell boilerplate.
* Update code-smell boilerplate for core.
* Update future boilerplate test for ansible-test.
All ansible-test code (except for targets) and core-specific sanity tests now use the same boilerplate.
The test also checks for unwanted `__future__` and `metaclass` boilerplate.
* Relocate target tools to the correct directory.
Several tools used on target Python versions were incorrectly placed in the controller directory.
* Fix get_available_python_versions calls.
* Make run_playbook vars optional.
* Use ansible_pipelining in inventory.
* Fix type hint.
* Fix order of conditional evaluation.
* Remove unused ibmi platform.
* Add changelog fragment.
