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.
* Only add Content-Type if not specified in headers. Fixes#20046
* Update documentation to indicate body_format will not override Content-Type if specified in headers
* Add dimensiondata.py in module_utils
This is required by the Dimension Data modules under
lib/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/dimensiondata
* Implement change requests from PR #17604
Requests are listed in:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/17604#pullrequestreview-819380
* Changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Use Py3-compatible import syntax for ConfigParser.
- Use comprehensions instead of filter function.
- Fix buggy comparison of False to 'False'.
- Change b_dict to block_dict.
- Fix invalid syntax for except block that handles multiple exception types.
* Additional changes requested for Ansible PR #16704.
As noted by @abadger:
- Missed a couple of places where we still had invalid exception-handling syntax.
* Remove shebang from dimensiondata.py (Ansible PR #16704).
* Switch to MCP_USER / MCP_PASSWORD.
This is consistent with other Dimension Data Tooling.
* Implement get_configured_credentials.
* Fix typo (missing comma).
* Unify get_credentials implementation (ansible/ansible#17604).
get_credentials will now look in environment, dotfile, and module configuration for credentials (in that order).
* Resolve user Id and password from module configuration before trying environment or dotfile (ansible/ansible#17604).
* new module to check FW readines
* added missing parameter
* changes based on the review comments; remove unecessary if statements; change returned value docstring
* Fixes#3539 "win_robocopy does not return changed properly"
Remove .win_robocopy from $result so that ansible can see the values properly. This also matches up with the existing documentation.
* Update documentation to match new return values
* Small tweaks for timezone module:
- small textual fixes
- ensure the generated docs list either hwclock or name as required
by using a non-generated value for required_one_of
* Update docs with the DOCUMENTATION block about either name/hwclock being required
* initial commit of cloudfront_facts.py
* modification as per review from @georgepsarakis
* fixed shippable build error
* fixed shippable build error
* removed wildcard imports and replaced with specific imports from ansible.module_utils.ec2 as advised by @georgepsarakis
* renamed all instances of cloud_front_origin_access_identity to origin_access_identity as advised by @georgepsarakis
* added input option requirements where missing. fixed a typo in an error message, added '.' to the end of sentences.
* fixed typo in documentation
* simplified paginated_response method as advised by @georgepsarakis
* set default option to list_defaults when no option specified as advised by @ryansb
* bumped version to 2.3 as advised by @ryansb
* removed double-nesting of ansible_facts as advised by @ryansb
* show facts based on alias and distribution id for easy referencing as advised by @ryansb. have done for both distribution and distribution_config
* made comments clearer
* fixed incorrect logic for default list_distributions, fixed list_distributions_by_web_acl - wasn't passing web_acl_id, fixed list_invalidations keyword args missing DistributionId
* neatened up logic for list_distributions default
* facts now return Etag as well as specific facts. modified paginated_response to handle this. also all requests that use distribution id also list the facts under the corresponding alias now.
* fixed last fact added clobbering all previous facts for an alias or an id
* removed list_ prefix from list keys
* removed unnecessary boto fields. made list_distributions and list_streaming_distributions dictionaries with id/alias as key. fixed list_invalidations.
* fixed incorrectly named list_distributions_by_web_acl to ..web_acl_id. added id/alias dict for list_distributions_by_web_acl_id
* minor doc changes
* removed merge tag
* fixed more of merge
* Idempotency fix on annotations permitting to change them on reconfiguration
* Permit to set VMware customvalues attributes on VM
* Gather annotation & customvalues and report it into module facts
* vmware_guest: various changes and fixes
Most of my queued changes were already implemented by @aperigault !
This was still open
- Typos
- Various fixes to dict.get() without quotes
- Defaults to fullname and orgname (so they are no longer mandatory)
- Add missing timezone implementation
- Remove the customize flag from the options
- Rename 'customizations' to 'customization' (cfr VMware docs and fora)
* Important fixes for idempotency and customization
- A password is mandatory for customization to work on Windows !
- An important fix for idempotency related to guestId
- Support all types of Windows guestId entries
* Suggestion by @aperigault
* Small documentation fixes
