* Update lineinfile.py
The document should call out in the regexp section what regexp does in non-match scenario, not just leave it for the reader to find it under `insertbefore` and `insertafter`.
+label: docsite_pr
* Update lineinfile.py
fixing for lint
* Use multiple entries
* Revert "Account for empty string regexp in lineinfile (#41451)"
This reverts commit 4b5b4a760c.
* Use context managers for interacting with files
* Store line and regexp parameters in a variable
* Add warning when regexp is an empty string
* Remove '=' from error messages
* Update warning message and add changelog
* Add tests
* Improve warning message
Offer an equivalent regexp that won't trigger the warning.
Update tests to match new warning.
* Add porting guide entry for lineinfile change
* Use context managers for interacting with files
* Account for empty string as regexp
Rather than explicitly testing for None, also test for an empty string which will evaluate to False. An empty string regexp matches every line, which ends up replacing the incorrect line.
* Store line parameter in a variable
* Add tests
If a line match is found in the file and no regexp is specified, insertbefore would improperly try to add a line if set to BOF.
Add tests for this scenario.
The examples comment said 'Add a line to a file if it does not exist, without passing regexp' which suggests, that the file is being created. But the default for 'create' is false. Thus the example lacked this option.
* Insert lines before or after when the regexp exists elsewhere in the file
* Correct filter syntax in lineinfile integration test
* Use multi-line YAML syntax on lineinfile tests
Unify indentation
* Add lineinfile tests for same line matched to different regexps
* Remove debug statement from test
Added fix for missing imports and boilerplate in files modules,
also, removed get_exception calls to match 2.6> exception handling.

Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
On python3, we want to use the surrogateescape error handler if
available for filesystem paths and the like. On python2, have to use
strict in these circumstances. Use the new error strategy for to_text,
to_bytes, and to_native that allows this.
Lineinfile deals heavily with Unic text files. Makes some sense to deal
with it all as byte strings. So there is a lot of work done here to
show that we're dealing with byte strings throughout.
Using the difflist feature added in ansible/ansible@c337293 we can add
two diffs to the `diff` dict returned as JSON: A `before` and `after` pair of
changed file contents and the diff of the file attributes.
n.b.: the difflist handling from the above commit is logically broken.
PR will follow.

When using YAML multi-line strings, e.g.:
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/foo
line: >
foo
bar
the line already ends with a newline. If an extra newline is appended unconditionally it will lead to inserting an extra newline on each run.
If insertbefore/insertafter didn't match anything, lineinfile module was doing nothing, instead of adding the line at end of fille as it's supposed to.
Encouraging users to use this Ansible module to enable SELinux seems
like a better idea. It also warms Dan Walsh's heart.
