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.
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
- `required` tags need to be fixed according to the `argument_spec`
- `authors` needs to be given with the github user also: `Name (@user)`
argument_spec
- `elements="str"` needs to be added to all list of string parameters
The `copyright` date is extended with `-2022`.
Before "short description" was used in most plugins, modules and also
in the new module templates.
ansible-doc was therefore not showing the short description. To fix the
issue the flag was renamed to short_description instead.

'ansible-doc' -l lists most idm modules as 'UNDOCUMENTED'
execute_ipa_commands replces the check mode exit, the loop over the
generated commands and also in the member failure handling for modules
with member support.
ipaadmin_variables are handled by IPAAnsibleModule,
ansible_module.params_get is used to get the parameters and
ansible_module.ipa_connect is used to simplify the module.
Added code to the ipa* plugins to support Ansible's check_mode, by
means of a clean exit before the execution of the actual list of
commands that would otherwise create/update/delete IPA servers
and/or its resources.
ansible-doc is reporting several issues in modules. Most of them have benn
due to misspelled description key word or due to use of multi line text
without the | in the description line.
There is a new delegation management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipadelegation.py
The delegation module allows to ensure presence and absence of delegations
and manage delegation attributes.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-delegation.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/delegation/delegation-absent.yml
playbooks/delegation/delegation-present.yml
playbooks/delegation/delegation-member-absent.yml
playbooks/delegation/delegation-member-present.yml
New tests for the module:
tests/delegation/test_delegation.yml
