When searching for objects with *_show IPA API command, most plugins
were hiding errors other than "ipalib_errors.NotFound" by handling the
broad exception Exception instead.
This patch uses "ipalib_errors.NotFound" whenever "*_show" is used so
that the only exception handled is when an object is not found. Other
errors will not be handled making the module break as expected.
Recent pylint versions warn against the use of an 'else' in a
'try-except' block if using a 'return' on the 'except' part is is the
idom used by ansible-freeipa when retrieving IPA data objects.
This change removes the usage of the 'else:' in such cases, and modify
the templates so that new modules do not have the same issue in the
future.
Indirect maps were not supported by ansible-freeipa ipaautomountmap.
This patch adds support for adding indirect automount maps using the
"parent" and "mount" parameters, if the map do not yet exist. An
existing map cannot be modified.
The "parent" parameter must match an existing automount map, and the
"mount" parameter is required if "parent" is used.
A new example playbook can be found at:
playbooks/automount/automount-map-indirect-map.yml
A new test playbook was added to test the feature:
tests/automount/test_automountmap_indirect.yml
ansible-test with ansible-2.14 is adding a lot of new tests to ensure
that the documentation section and the agument spec is complete. Needed
changes:
DOCUMENTATION section
- `type: str` needs to be set for string parameters
- `type: list` needs to be set for list parameters
- `elements: str` needs to be given for list of string parameters
- `aliases` tag need to be consistent to `argument_spec`
- `extends_documentation_fragment: ipamodule_base_docs` needs added and
`ipaadmin_*` parameters need to be removed
argument_spec
- `elements="str"` needs to be added to all list of string parameters
- `default=.*` needs to be dropped if `required=True` is also given
The `copyright` date is extended with `-2022`.
This change allows clearing automountmap 'description' attribute by
passing an empty string ("") as the playbook parameter.
New test cases were added to check this behavior.

There is a new server management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipaautomountmap.py
The server module allows to ensure presence and absence of automount
maps. The module requires an existing automount location to place the
map within. It does not create any automount keys with in the map.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-automountmap.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/automount/automount-map-absent.yaml
playbooks/automount/automount-map-present.yaml
New tests for the module:
tests/automount/test_automountmap.yml
