The task to apply an unknown (invalid) host to an idview was not failing
as expected and only reported no change.
A new host verification step has been added to fail before trying to
apply invalid hosts. unapplying an invalid host is not failing as the
invalid host is indeed not applied.
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.
There is a new idview management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipaidview.py
The idview module allows to ensure presence and absence of idviews and
idview host members.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-idview.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/idview/idview-absent.yml
playbooks/idview/idview-host-applied.yml
playbooks/idview/idview-host-unapplied.yml
playbooks/idview/idview-present.yml
New tests for the module can be found at:
