Sanity Tests » use-argspec-type-path
====================================
The AnsibleModule argument_spec knows of several types beyond the standard python types. One of
these is ``path``. When used, type ``path`` ensures that an argument is a string and expands any
shell variables and tilde characters.
This test looks for use of :meth:`os.path.expanduser` in modules. When found, it tells the user to
replace it with ``type='path'`` in the module's argument_spec or list it as a false positive in the
test.
