-  when unregistering a system\: newer versions of subscription\-manager\, as
-  available in EL 10 and Fedora 41\+\, do not support entitlements anymore\, and

-# Docs helper. Create RST file.
-
-The playbook `playbook.yml` writes a RST file that can be used in
-docs/docsite/rst. The usage of this helper is recommended but not
-mandatory. You can stop reading here and update the RST file manually
-if you don't want to use this helper.
-
-## Run the playbook
-
-If you want to generate the RST file by this helper fit the variables
-in the playbook and the template to your needs. Then, run the play
-
-```sh
-shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml
-```
-
-## Copy RST to docs/docsite/rst
-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this
-directory.
-
-## Update the checksums
-
-Substitute the variables and run the below commands
-
-```sh
-shell> sha1sum {{ target_vars }} > {{ target_sha1 }}
-shell> sha1sum {{ file_rst }} > {{ file_sha1 }}
-```
-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby <community.general.lists_mergeby#filter>` filter.
+If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.

-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See the documentation for the :ansplugin:`community.general.yaml callback plugin <community.general.yaml#callback>`.

See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.

 Let us use the lists below in the following examples:

 .. code-block:: yaml

-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml') | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n')  | indent(2) }}
+  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}

 {% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
+{{ i.label }}

 .. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}

-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}

 {% endfor %}

 .. versionadded:: 2.0.0

-{% for i in examples[2:6] %}
-{% if i.title | d('', true) | length > 0 %}
-{{ i.title }}
-{{ "%s" % ('"' * i.title|length) }}
-{% endif %}
-{{ i.description }}
+{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
+{{ i.label }}

 .. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}

-  {{ lookup('file', i.file) | split('\n') | reject('match', '^(#|---)') | join ('\n') | indent(2) }}
+  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}

 {% endfor %}

-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive` and :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
+The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.

 **recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``false``. Should the :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` filter recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.

 **list_merge**
-    Is a string, its possible values are :ansval:`replace` (default), :ansval:`keep`, :ansval:`append`, :ansval:`prepend`, :ansval:`append_rp` or :ansval:`prepend_rp`. It modifies the behaviour of :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.

-The examples below set :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:recursive=true` and display the differences among all six options of :ansopt:`community.general.lists_mergeby#filter:list_merge`. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.combine#filter`.

-
-Copy the RST file to `docs/docsite/rst` and remove it from this

-
-## Playbook explained
-
-The playbook includes the variable *tests* from the integration tests
-and creates the RST file from the template. The playbook will
-terminate if:
-
-* The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-* The RST file was changed
-
-This means that this helper is probably not up to date.
-
-### The file with the variable *tests* was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the integration tests. Review the
-changes and update the template if needed. Update the checksum to pass
-the integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command.
-
-### The RST file was changed
-
-This means that somebody updated the RST file manually. Review the
-changes and update the template. Update the checksum to pass the
-integrity test. The playbook message provides you with the
-command. Make sure that the updated template will create identical RST
-file. Only then apply your changes.

-Starting with Ansible Core 2.16, the builtin filters :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.union#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.intersect#filter`, :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.difference#filter` and :ansplugin:`ansible.builtin.symmetric_difference#filter` began to behave differently and do no longer preserve the item order. Items in the resulting lists are returned in arbitrary order and the order can vary between subsequent runs.
-
-The Ansible community.general collection provides the following additional list filters:
-
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_union#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_intersect#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter`
- :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter`
-
-These filters preserve the item order, eliminate duplicates and are an extended version of the builtin ones, because they can operate on more than two lists.
-
-.. note:: Stick to the builtin filters, when item order is not important or when you do not need the n-ary operating mode. The builtin filters are faster, because they rely mostly on sets as their underlying datastructure.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  A: [9, 5, 7, 1, 9, 4, 10, 5, 9, 7]
-  B: [4, 1, 2, 8, 3, 1, 7]
-  C: [10, 2, 1, 9, 1]
-
-The union of ``A`` and ``B`` can be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_union(B) }}"
-
-This statement produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [9, 5, 7, 1, 4, 10, 2, 8, 3]
-
-If you want to calculate the intersection of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C``, you can use the following statement:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_intersect(B, C) }}"
-
-Alternatively, you can use a list of lists as an input of the filter
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B] | community.general.lists_intersect(C) }}"
-
-or
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ [A, B, C] | community.general.lists_intersect(flatten=true) }}"
-
-All three statements are equivalent and give:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [1]
-
-.. note:: Be aware that in most cases, filter calls without any argument require ``flatten=true``, otherwise the input is returned as result. The reason for this is, that the input is considered as a variable argument and is wrapped by an additional outer list. ``flatten=true`` ensures that this list is removed before the input is processed by the filter logic.
-
-The filters :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_difference#filter` or :ansplugin:`community.general.lists_symmetric_difference#filter` can be used in the same way as the filters in the examples above. They calculate the difference or the symmetric difference between two or more lists and preserve the item order.
-
-For example, the symmetric difference of ``A``, ``B`` and ``C`` may be written as:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  result: "{{ A | community.general.lists_symmetric_difference(B, C) }}"
-
-This gives:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  result: [5, 8, 3, 1]

-Command Runner guide
-====================
-
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner`` module util provides the
-``CmdRunner`` class to help execute external commands. The class is a wrapper around
-the standard ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` method, handling command arguments, localization setting,
-output processing output, check mode, and other features.
-
-It is even more useful when one command is used in multiple modules, so that you can define all options
-in a module util file, and each module uses the same runner with different arguments.
-
-For the sake of clarity, throughout this guide, unless otherwise specified, we use the term *option* when referring to
-Ansible module options, and the term *argument* when referring to the command line arguments for the external command.
-
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-``CmdRunner`` defines a command and a set of coded instructions on how to format
-the command-line arguments, in which specific order, for a particular execution.
-It relies on ``ansible.module_utils.basic.AnsibleModule.run_command()`` to actually execute the command.
-There are other features, see more details throughout this document.
-
-To use ``CmdRunner`` you must start by creating an object. The example below is a simplified
-version of the actual code in :ansplugin:`community.general.ansible_galaxy_install#module`:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import CmdRunner, cmd_runner_fmt
-
-    runner = CmdRunner(
-        module,
-        command="ansible-galaxy",
-        arg_formats=dict(
-            type=cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(lambda v: [] if v == 'both' else [v]),
-            galaxy_cmd=cmd_runner_fmt.as_list(),
-            upgrade=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--upgrade"),
-            requirements_file=cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val('-r'),
-            dest=cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val('-p'),
-            force=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--force"),
-            no_deps=cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--no-deps"),
-            version=cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--version"),
-            name=cmd_runner_fmt.as_list(),
-        )
-    )
-
-This is meant to be done once, then every time you need to execute the command you create a context and pass values as needed:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        # Run the command with these arguments, when values exist for them
-        with runner("type galaxy_cmd upgrade force no_deps dest requirements_file name", output_process=process) as ctx:
-            ctx.run(galaxy_cmd="install", upgrade=upgrade)
-
-        # version is fixed, requires no value
-        with runner("version") as ctx:
-            dummy, stdout, dummy = ctx.run()
-
-        # passes arg 'data' to AnsibleModule.run_command()
-        with runner("type name", data=stdin_data) as ctx:
-            dummy, stdout, dummy = ctx.run()
-
-        # Another way of expressing it
-        dummy, stdout, dummy = runner("version").run()
-
-Note that you can pass values for the arguments when calling ``run()``, otherwise ``CmdRunner``
-uses the module options with the exact same names to provide values for the runner arguments.
-If no value is passed and no module option is found for the name specified, then an exception is raised, unless
-the argument is using ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed`` as format function like the ``version`` in the example above.
-See more about it below.
-
-In the first example, values of ``type``, ``force``, ``no_deps`` and others
-are taken straight from the module, whilst ``galaxy_cmd`` and ``upgrade`` are
-passed explicitly.
-
-.. note::
-
-    It is not possible to automatically retrieve values of suboptions.
-
-That generates a resulting command line similar to (example taken from the
-output of an integration test):
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        [
-            "<venv>/bin/ansible-galaxy",
-            "collection",
-            "install",
-            "--upgrade",
-            "-p",
-            "<collection-install-path>",
-            "netbox.netbox",
-        ]
-
-
-Argument formats
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-As seen in the example, ``CmdRunner`` expects a parameter named ``arg_formats``
-defining how to format each CLI named argument.
-An "argument format" is nothing but a function to transform the value of a variable
-into something formatted for the command line.
-
-
-Argument format function
-""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-An ``arg_format`` function is defined in the form similar to:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def func(value):
-        return ["--some-param-name", value]
-
-The parameter ``value`` can be of any type - although there are convenience
-mechanisms to help handling sequence and mapping objects.
-
-The result is expected to be of the type ``Sequence[str]`` type (most commonly
-``list[str]`` or ``tuple[str]``), otherwise it is considered to be a ``str``,
-and it is coerced into ``list[str]``.
-This resulting sequence of strings is added to the command line when that
-argument is actually used.
-
-For example, if ``func`` returns:
-
- ``["nee", 2, "shruberries"]``, the command line adds arguments ``"nee" "2" "shruberries"``.
- ``2 == 2``, the command line adds argument ``True``.
- ``None``, the command line adds argument ``None``.
- ``[]``, the command line adds no command line argument for that particular argument.

-Convenience format methods
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-In the same module as ``CmdRunner`` there is a class ``cmd_runner_fmt`` which
-provides a set of convenience methods that return format functions for common cases.
-In the first block of code in the `Quickstart`_ section you can see the importing of
-that class:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import CmdRunner, cmd_runner_fmt
-
-The same example shows how to make use of some of them in the instantiation of the ``CmdRunner`` object.
-A description of each one of the convenience methods available and examples of how to use them is found below.
-In these descriptions ``value`` refers to the single parameter passed to the formatting function.
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()``
-    This method does not receive any parameter, function returns ``value`` as-is.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_list()``
-    - Examples:
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-        | Value                | Outcome             |
-        +======================+=====================+
-        | ``["foo", "bar"]``   | ``["foo", "bar"]``  |
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-        | ``"foobar"``         | ``["foobar"]``      |
-        +----------------------+---------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool()``
-    This method receives two different parameters: ``args_true`` and ``args_false``, latter being optional.
-    If the boolean evaluation of ``value`` is ``True``, the format function returns ``args_true``.
-    If the boolean evaluation is ``False``, then the function returns ``args_false`` if it was provided, or ``[]`` otherwise.
-
-    - Creation (one arg):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--force")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+--------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome            |
-        +============+====================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--force"]``    |
-        +------------+--------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``[]``             |
-        +------------+--------------------+
-    - Creation (two args, ``None`` treated as ``False``):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--relax", "--dont-do-it")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome              |
-        +============+======================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--relax"]``      |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        |            | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-    - Creation (two args, ``None`` is ignored):
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool("--relax", "--dont-do-it", ignore_none=True)``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome              |
-        +============+======================+
-        | ``True``   | ``["--relax"]``      |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        | ``False``  | ``["--dont-do-it"]`` |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-        |            | ``[]``               |
-        +------------+----------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool_not()``
-    This method receives one parameter, which is returned by the function when the boolean evaluation
-    of ``value`` is ``False``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_bool_not("--no-deps")``
-    - Examples:
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-        | Value       | Outcome             |
-        +=============+=====================+
-        | ``True``    | ``[]``              |
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-        | ``False``   | ``["--no-deps"]``   |
-        +-------------+---------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_optval()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns the string concatenation
-    of ``arg`` and ``value``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_optval("-i")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-        | Value         | Outcome             |
-        +===============+=====================+
-        | ``3``         | ``["-i3"]``         |
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-        | ``foobar``    | ``["-ifoobar"]``    |
-        +---------------+---------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns ``[arg, value]``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val("--name")``
-    - Examples:
-        +--------------+--------------------------+
-        | Value        | Outcome                  |
-        +==============+==========================+
-        | ``abc``      | ``["--name", "abc"]``    |
-        +--------------+--------------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_eq_val()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function returns the string of the form
-    ``{arg}={value}``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_eq_val("--num-cpus")``
-    - Examples:
-        +------------+-------------------------+
-        | Value      | Outcome                 |
-        +============+=========================+
-        | ``10``     | ``["--num-cpus=10"]``   |
-        +------------+-------------------------+
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg``, the function expects no ``value`` - if one
-    is provided then it is ignored.
-    The function returns ``arg`` as-is.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_fixed("--version")``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-        | Value   | Outcome               |
-        +=========+=======================+
-        |         | ``["--version"]``     |
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-        | 57      | ``["--version"]``     |
-        +---------+-----------------------+
-
-    - Note:
-        This is the only special case in which a value can be missing for the formatting function.
-        The example also comes from the code in `Quickstart`_.
-        In that case, the module has code to determine the command's version so that it can assert compatibility.
-        There is no *value* to be passed for that CLI argument.
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg`` which must be a dictionary, and an optional parameter ``default``.
-    The function returns the evaluation of ``arg[value]``.
-    If ``value not in arg``, then it returns ``default`` if defined, otherwise ``[]``.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_map(dict(a=1, b=2, c=3), default=42)``
-    - Examples:
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-        | Value               | Outcome       |
-        +=====================+===============+
-        | ``"b"``             | ``["2"]``     |
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-        | ``"yabadabadoo"``   | ``["42"]``    |
-        +---------------------+---------------+
-
-    - Note:
-        If ``default`` is not specified, invalid values return an empty list, meaning they are silently ignored.
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_func()``
-    This method receives one parameter ``arg`` which is itself is a format function and it must abide by the rules described above.
-
-    - Creation:
-        ``cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(lambda v: [] if v == 'stable' else ['--channel', '{0}'.format(v)])``
-    - Note:
-        The outcome for that depends entirely on the function provided by the developer.
-
-
-Other features for argument formatting
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-Some additional features are available as decorators:
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.unpack args()``
-    This decorator unpacks the incoming ``value`` as a list of elements.
-
-    For example, in ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.puppet``, it is used as:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          @cmd_runner_fmt.unpack_args
-          def execute_func(execute, manifest):
-              if execute:
-                  return ["--execute", execute]
-              else:
-                  return [manifest]
-
-          runner = CmdRunner(
-              module,
-              command=_prepare_base_cmd(),
-              path_prefix=_PUPPET_PATH_PREFIX,
-              arg_formats=dict(
-                  # ...
-                  _execute=cmd_runner_fmt.as_func(execute_func),
-                  # ...
-              ),
-          )
-
-    Then, in :ansplugin:`community.general.puppet#module` it is put to use with:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          with runner(args_order) as ctx:
-              rc, stdout, stderr = ctx.run(_execute=[p['execute'], p['manifest']])
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.unpack_kwargs()``
-    Conversely, this decorator unpacks the incoming ``value`` as a ``dict``-like object.
-
- ``cmd_runner_fmt.stack()``
-    This decorator assumes ``value`` is a sequence and concatenates the output
-    of the wrapped function applied to each element of the sequence.
-
-    For example, in :ansplugin:`community.general.django_check#module`, the argument format for ``database``
-    is defined as:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          arg_formats = dict(
-              # ...
-              database=cmd_runner_fmt.stack(cmd_runner_fmt.as_opt_val)("--database"),
-              # ...
-          )
-
-    When receiving a list ``["abc", "def"]``, the output is:
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-          ["--database", "abc", "--database", "def"]
-
-
-Command Runner
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Settings that can be passed to the ``CmdRunner`` constructor are:
-
- ``module: AnsibleModule``
-    Module instance. Mandatory parameter.
- ``command: str | list[str]``
-    Command to be executed. It can be a single string, the executable name, or a list
-    of strings containing the executable name as the first element and, optionally, fixed parameters.
-    Those parameters are used in all executions of the runner.
-    The *executable* pointed by this parameter (whether itself when ``str`` or its first element when ``list``) is
-    processed using ``AnsibleModule.get_bin_path()`` *unless* it is an absolute path or contains the character ``/``.
- ``arg_formats: dict``
-    Mapping of argument names to formatting functions.
- ``default_args_order: str``
-    As the name suggests, a default ordering for the arguments. When
-    this is passed, the context can be created without specifying ``args_order``. Defaults to ``()``.
- ``check_rc: bool``
-    When ``True``, if the return code from the command is not zero, the module exits
-    with an error. Defaults to ``False``.
- ``path_prefix: list[str]``
-    If the command being executed is installed in a non-standard directory path,
-    additional paths might be provided to search for the executable. Defaults to ``None``.
- ``environ_update: dict``
-    Pass additional environment variables to be set during the command execution.
-    Defaults to ``None``.
- ``force_lang: str``
-    It is usually important to force the locale to one specific value, so that responses are consistent and, therefore, parseable.
-    Please note that using this option (which is enabled by default) overwrites the environment variables ``LANGUAGE`` and ``LC_ALL``.
-    To disable this mechanism, set this parameter to ``None``.
-    In community.general 9.1.0 a special value ``auto`` was introduced for this parameter, with the effect
-    that ``CmdRunner`` then tries to determine the best parseable locale for the runtime.
-    It should become the default value in the future, but for the time being the default value is ``C``.
-
-When creating a context, the additional settings that can be passed to the call are:
-
- ``args_order: str``
-    Establishes the order in which the arguments are rendered in the command line.
-    This parameter is mandatory unless ``default_args_order`` was provided to the runner instance.
- ``output_process: func``
-    Function to transform the output of the executable into different values or formats.
-    See examples in section below.
- ``check_mode_skip: bool``
-    Whether to skip the actual execution of the command when the module is in check mode.
-    Defaults to ``False``.
- ``check_mode_return: any``
-    If ``check_mode_skip=True``, then return this value instead.
- valid named arguments to ``AnsibleModule.run_command()``
-    Other than ``args``, any valid argument to ``run_command()`` can be passed when setting up the run context.
-    For example, ``data`` can be used to send information to the command's standard input.
-    Or ``cwd`` can be used to run the command inside a specific working directory.
-
-Additionally, any other valid parameters for ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` may be passed, but unexpected behavior
-might occur if redefining options already present in the runner or its context creation. Use with caution.
-
-
-Processing results
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-As mentioned, ``CmdRunner`` uses ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` to execute the external command,
-and it passes the return value from that method back to caller. That means that,
-by default, the result is going to be a tuple ``(rc, stdout, stderr)``.
-
-If you need to transform or process that output, you can pass a function to the context,
-as the ``output_process`` parameter. It must be a function like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def process(rc, stdout, stderr):
-        # do some magic
-        return processed_value    # whatever that is
-
-In that case, the return of ``run()`` is the ``processed_value`` returned by the function.
-
-
-PythonRunner
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``PythonRunner`` class is a specialized version of ``CmdRunner``, geared towards the execution of
-Python scripts. It features two extra and  mutually exclusive parameters ``python`` and ``venv`` in its constructor:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.python_runner import PythonRunner
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.cmd_runner import cmd_runner_fmt
-
-    runner = PythonRunner(
-        module,
-        command=["-m", "django"],
-        arg_formats=dict(...),
-        python="python",
-        venv="/path/to/some/venv",
-    )
-
-The default value for ``python`` is the string ``python``, and the for ``venv`` it is ``None``.
-
-The command line produced by such a command with ``python="python3.12"`` is something like:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    /usr/bin/python3.12 -m django <arg1> <arg2> ...
-
-And the command line for ``venv="/work/venv"`` is like:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    /work/venv/bin/python -m django <arg1> <arg2> ...
-
-You may provide the value of the ``command`` argument as a string (in that case the string is used as a script name)
-or as a list, in which case the elements of the list must be valid arguments for the Python interpreter, as in the example above.
-See `Command line and environment <https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html>`_ for more details.
-
-If the parameter ``python`` is an absolute path, or contains directory separators, such as ``/``, then it is used
-as-is, otherwise the runtime ``PATH`` is searched for that command name.
-
-Other than that, everything else works as in ``CmdRunner``.

-==============
-
-
-Using ``deps``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.deps`` module util simplifies
-the importing of code as described in :ref:`Importing and using shared code <shared_code>`.
-Please notice that ``deps`` is meant to be used specifically with Ansible modules, and not other types of plugins.
-
-The same example from the Developer Guide would become:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils import deps
-
-    with deps.declare("foo"):
-        import foo
-
-Then in ``main()``, just after the argspec (or anywhere in the code, for that matter), do
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    deps.validate(module)  # assuming module is a valid AnsibleModule instance
-
-By default, ``deps`` will rely on ``ansible.module_utils.basic.missing_required_lib`` to generate
-a message about a failing import. That function accepts parameters ``reason`` and ``url``, and
-and so does ``deps```:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo", reason="foo is needed to properly bar", url="https://foo.bar.io"):
-        import foo
-
-If you would rather write a custom message instead of using ``missing_required_lib`` then do:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo", msg="Custom msg explaining why foo is needed"):
-        import foo
-
-``deps`` allows for multiple dependencies to be declared:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    with deps.declare("foo"):
-        import foo
-
-    with deps.declare("bar"):
-        import bar
-
-    with deps.declare("doe"):
-        import doe
-
-By default, ``deps.validate()`` will check on all the declared dependencies, but if so desired,
-they can be validated selectively by doing:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    deps.validate(module, "foo")       # only validates the "foo" dependency
-
-    deps.validate(module, "doe:bar")   # only validates the "doe" and "bar" dependencies
-
-    deps.validate(module, "-doe:bar")  # validates all dependencies except "doe" and "bar"
-

-    There is a variation called ``StateModuleHelper``, which builds on top of the features provided by MH.
-    See :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.statemh` below for more details.
-
-The easiest way of specifying the module is to create the class variable ``module`` with a dictionary
-containing the exact arguments that would be passed as parameters to ``AnsibleModule``.
-If you prefer to create the ``AnsibleModule`` object yourself, just assign it to the ``module`` class variable.
-MH also accepts a parameter ``module`` in its constructor, if that parameter is used used,
-then it will override the class variable. The parameter can either be ``dict`` or ``AnsibleModule`` as well.
-
-Beyond the definition of the module, there are other variables that can be used to control aspects
-of MH's behavior. These variables should be set at the very beginning of the class, and their semantics are
-explained through this document.
-
-The main logic of MH happens in the ``ModuleHelper.run()`` method, which looks like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    @module_fails_on_exception
-    def run(self):
-        self.__init_module__()
-        self.__run__()
-        self.__quit_module__()
-        output = self.output
-        if 'failed' not in output:
-            output['failed'] = False
-        self.module.exit_json(changed=self.has_changed(), **output)
-
-The method ``ModuleHelper.__run__()`` must be implemented by the module and most
-modules will be able to perform their actions implementing only that MH method.
-However, in some cases, you might want to execute actions before or after the main tasks, in which cases
-you should implement ``ModuleHelper.__init_module__()`` and ``ModuleHelper.__quit_module__()`` respectively.
-
-Note that the output comes from ``self.output``, which is a ``@property`` method.
-By default, that property will collect all the variables that are marked for output and return them in a dictionary with their values.
-Moreover, the default ``self.output`` will also handle Ansible ``facts`` and *diff mode*.
-Also note the changed status comes from ``self.has_changed()``, which is usually calculated from variables that are marked
-to track changes in their content.

-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.modulefailsdeco` below.
-
-
-Another way to write the example from the
-:ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.quickstart`
-would be:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.vars.original_message = ''
-            self.vars.message = ''
-
-        def __run__(self):
-            if self.check_mode:
-                return
-            self.vars.original_message = self.vars.name
-            self.vars.message = 'goodbye'
-            self.changed = self.vars['new']
-
-        def __quit_module__(self):
-            if self.vars.name == "fail me":
-                self.do_raise("You requested this to fail")
-
-Notice that there are no calls to ``module.exit_json()`` nor ``module.fail_json()``: if the module fails, raise an exception.
-You can use the convenience method ``self.do_raise()`` or raise the exception as usual in Python to do that.
-If no exception is raised, then the module succeeds.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about exceptions in section
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.exceptions` below.
-
-Ansible modules must have a ``main()`` function and the usual test for ``'__main__'``. When using MH that should look like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    def main():
-        MyTest.execute()
-
-
-    if __name__ == '__main__':
-        main()
-
-The class method ``execute()`` is nothing more than a convenience shorcut for:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    m = MyTest()
-    m.run()
-
-Optionally, an ``AnsibleModule`` may be passed as parameter to ``execute()``.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.paramvaroutput:
-
-Parameters, variables, and output
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-All the parameters automatically become variables in the ``self.vars`` attribute, which is of the ``VarDict`` type.
-By using ``self.vars``, you get a central mechanism to access the parameters but also to expose variables as return values of the module.
-As described in :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_vardict`, variables in ``VarDict`` have metadata associated to them.
-One of the attributes in that metadata marks the variable for output, and MH makes use of that to generate the module's return values.
-
-.. important::
-
-    The ``VarDict`` feature described was introduced in community.general 7.1.0, but there was a first
-    implementation of it embedded within ``ModuleHelper``.
-    That older implementation is now deprecated and will be removed in community.general 11.0.0.
-    After community.general 7.1.0, MH modules generate a deprecation message about *using the old VarDict*.
-    There are two ways to prevent that from happening:
-
-        #.  Set ``mute_vardict_deprecation = True`` and the deprecation will be silenced. If the module still uses the old ``VarDict``,
-            it will not be able to update to community.general 11.0.0 (Spring 2026) upon its release.
-        #.  Set ``use_old_vardict = False`` to make the MH module use the new ``VarDict`` immediatelly.
-            The new ``VarDict`` and its use is documented and this is the recommended way to handle this.
-
-    .. code-block:: python
-
-        class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-            use_old_vardict = False
-            mute_vardict_deprecation = True
-            ...
-
-    These two settings are mutually exclusive, but that is not enforced and the behavior when setting both is not specified.
-
-Contrary to new variables created in ``VarDict``, module parameters are not set for output by default.
-If you want to include some module parameters in the output, list them in the ``output_params`` class variable.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        output_params = ('state', 'name')
-        ...
-
-Another neat feature provided by MH by using ``VarDict`` is the automatic tracking of changes when setting the metadata ``change=True``.
-Again, to enable this feature for module parameters, you must list them in the ``change_params`` class variable.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        # example from community.general.xfconf
-        change_params = ('value', )
-        ...
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about this in
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.changes` below.
-
-Similarly, if you want to use Ansible's diff mode, you can set the metadata ``diff=True`` and ``diff_params`` for module parameters.
-With that, MH will automatically generate the diff output for variables that have changed.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        diff_params = ('value', )
-
-    def __run__(self):
-        # example from community.general.gio_mime
-        self.vars.set_meta("handler", initial_value=gio_mime_get(self.runner, self.vars.mime_type), diff=True, change=True)
-
-Moreover, if a module is set to return *facts* instead of return values, then again use the metadata ``fact=True`` and ``fact_params`` for module parameters.
-Additionally, you must specify ``facts_name``, as in:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class VolumeFacts(ModuleHelper):
-        facts_name = 'volume_facts'
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.vars.set("volume", 123, fact=True)
-
-That generates an Ansible fact like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Obtain volume facts
-      some.collection.volume_facts:
-        # parameters
-
-    - name: Print volume facts
-      debug:
-        msg: Volume fact is {{ ansible_facts.volume_facts.volume }}
-
-.. important::
-
-    If ``facts_name`` is not set, the module does not generate any facts.
-
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.changes:
-
-Handling changes
-""""""""""""""""
-
-In MH there are many ways to indicate change in the module execution. Here they are:
-
-Tracking changes in variables
-----------------------------
-
-As explained above, you can enable change tracking in any number of variables in ``self.vars``.
-By the end of the module execution, if any of those variables has a value different then the first value assigned to them,
-then that will be picked up by MH and signalled as changed at the module output.
-See the example below to learn how you can enabled change tracking in variables:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # using __init_module__() as example, it works the same in __run__() and __quit_module__()
-    def __init_module__(self):
-        # example from community.general.ansible_galaxy_install
-        self.vars.set("new_roles", {}, change=True)
-
-        # example of "hidden" variable used only to track change in a value from community.general.gconftool2
-        self.vars.set('_value', self.vars.previous_value, output=False, change=True)
-
-        # enable change-tracking without assigning value
-        self.vars.set_meta("new_roles", change=True)
-
-        # if you must forcibly set an initial value to the variable
-        self.vars.set_meta("new_roles", initial_value=[])
-        ...
-
-If the end value of any variable marked ``change`` is different from its initial value, then MH will return ``changed=True``.
-
-Indicating changes with ``changed``
-----------------------------------
-
-If you want to indicate change directly in the code, then use the ``self.changed`` property in MH.
-Beware that this is a ``@property`` method in MH, with both a *getter* and a *setter*.
-By default, that hidden field is set to ``False``.
-
-Effective change
----------------
-
-The effective outcome for the module is determined in the ``self.has_changed()`` method, and it consists of the logical *OR* operation
-between ``self.changed`` and the change calculated from ``self.vars``.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.exceptions:
-
-Exceptions
-""""""""""
-
-In MH, instead of calling ``module.fail_json()`` you can just raise an exception.
-The output variables are collected the same way they would be for a successful execution.
-However, you can set output variables specifically for that exception, if you so choose.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import ModuleHelperException
-
-    def __init_module__(self):
-        if not complex_validation():
-            self.do_raise("Validation failed!")
-
-        # Or passing output variables
-        awesomeness = calculate_awesomeness()
-        if awesomeness > 1000:
-            self.do_raise("Over awesome, I cannot handle it!", update_output={"awesomeness": awesomeness})
-            # which is just a convenience shortcut for
-            raise ModuleHelperException("...", update_output={...})
-
-All exceptions derived from ``Exception`` are captured and translated into a ``fail_json()`` call.
-However, if you do want to call ``self.module.fail_json()`` yourself it will work,
-just keep in mind that there will be no automatic handling of output variables in that case.
-
-Behind the curtains, all ``do_raise()`` does is to raise a ``ModuleHelperException``.
-If you want to create specialized error handling for your code, the best way is to extend that clas and raise it when needed.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.statemh:
-
-StateModuleHelper
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Many modules use a parameter ``state`` that effectively controls the exact action performed by the module, such as
-``state=present`` or ``state=absent`` for installing or removing packages.
-By using ``StateModuleHelper`` you can make your code like the excerpt from the ``gconftool2`` below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import StateModuleHelper
-
-    class GConftool(StateModuleHelper):
-        ...
-        module = dict(
-            ...
-        )
-        use_old_vardict = False
-
-        def __init_module__(self):
-            self.runner = gconftool2_runner(self.module, check_rc=True)
-            ...
-
-            self.vars.set('previous_value', self._get(), fact=True)
-            self.vars.set('value_type', self.vars.value_type)
-            self.vars.set('_value', self.vars.previous_value, output=False, change=True)
-            self.vars.set_meta('value', initial_value=self.vars.previous_value)
-            self.vars.set('playbook_value', self.vars.value, fact=True)
-
-        ...
-
-        def state_absent(self):
-            with self.runner("state key", output_process=self._make_process(False)) as ctx:
-                ctx.run()
-                self.vars.set('run_info', ctx.run_info, verbosity=4)
-            self.vars.set('new_value', None, fact=True)
-            self.vars._value = None
-
-        def state_present(self):
-            with self.runner("direct config_source value_type state key value", output_process=self._make_process(True)) as ctx:
-                ctx.run()
-                self.vars.set('run_info', ctx.run_info, verbosity=4)
-            self.vars.set('new_value', self._get(), fact=True)
-            self.vars._value = self.vars.new_value
-
-Note that the method ``__run__()`` is implemented in ``StateModuleHelper``, all you need to implement are the methods ``state_<state_value>``.
-In the example above, :ansplugin:`community.general.gconftool2#module` only has two states, ``present`` and ``absent``, thus, ``state_present()`` and ``state_absent()``.
-
-If the controlling parameter is not called ``state``, like in :ansplugin:`community.general.jira#module` module, just let SMH know about it:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class JIRA(StateModuleHelper):
-        state_param = 'operation'
-
-        def operation_create(self):
-            ...
-
-        def operation_search(self):
-            ...
-
-Lastly, if the module is called with ``state=somevalue`` and the method ``state_somevalue``
-is not implemented, SMH will resort to call a method called ``__state_fallback__()``.
-By default, this method will raise a ``ValueError`` indicating the method was not found.
-Naturally, you can override that method to write a default implementation, as in :ansplugin:`community.general.locale_gen#module`:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-        def __state_fallback__(self):
-            if self.vars.state_tracking == self.vars.state:
-                return
-            if self.vars.ubuntu_mode:
-                self.apply_change_ubuntu(self.vars.state, self.vars.name)
-            else:
-                self.apply_change(self.vars.state, self.vars.name)
-
-That module has only the states ``present`` and ``absent`` and the code for both is the one in the fallback method.
-
-.. note::
-
-    The name of the fallback method **does not change** if you set a different value of ``state_param``.
-
-
-Other Conveniences
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Delegations to AnsibleModule
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-The MH properties and methods below are delegated as-is to the underlying ``AnsibleModule`` instance in ``self.module``:
-
- ``check_mode``
- ``get_bin_path()``
- ``warn()``
- ``deprecate()``
-
-Additionally, MH will also delegate:
-
- ``diff_mode`` to ``self.module._diff``
- ``verbosity`` to ``self.module._verbosity``
-
-Starting in community.general 10.3.0, MH will also delegate the method ``debug`` to ``self.module``.
-If any existing module already has a ``debug`` attribute defined, a warning message will be generated,
-requesting it to be renamed. Upon the release of community.general 12.0.0, the delegation will be
-preemptive and will override any existing method or property in the subclasses.
-
-Decorators
-""""""""""
-
-The following decorators should only be used within ``ModuleHelper`` class.
-
-@cause_changes
--------------
-
-This decorator will control whether the outcome of the method will cause the module to signal change in its output.
-If the method completes without raising an exception it is considered to have succeeded, otherwise, it will have failed.
-
-The decorator has a parameter ``when`` that accepts three different values: ``success``, ``failure``, and ``always``.
-There are also two legacy parameters, ``on_success`` and ``on_failure``, that will be deprecated, so do not use them.
-The value of ``changed`` in the module output will be set to ``True``:
-
- ``when="success"`` and the method completes without raising an exception.
- ``when="failure"`` and the method raises an exception.
- ``when="always"``, regardless of the method raising an exception or not.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import cause_changes
-
-    # adapted excerpt from the community.general.jira module
-    class JIRA(StateModuleHelper):
-        @cause_changes(when="success")
-        def operation_create(self):
-            ...
-
-If ``when`` has a different value or no parameters are specificied, the decorator will have no effect whatsoever.
-
-.. _ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.modulefailsdeco:
-
-@module_fails_on_exception
--------------------------
-
-In a method using this decorator, if an exception is raised, the text message of that exception will be captured
-by the decorator and used to call ``self.module.fail_json()``.
-In most of the cases there will be no need to use this decorator, because ``ModuleHelper.run()`` already uses it.
-
-@check_mode_skip
----------------
-
-If the module is running in check mode, this decorator will prevent the method from executing.
-The return value in that case is ``None``.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import check_mode_skip
-
-    # adapted excerpt from the community.general.locale_gen module
-    class LocaleGen(StateModuleHelper):
-        @check_mode_skip
-        def __state_fallback__(self):
-            ...
-
-
-@check_mode_skip_returns
------------------------
-
-This decorator is similar to the previous one, but the developer can control the return value for the method when running in check mode.
-It is used with one of two parameters. One is ``callable`` and the return value in check mode will be ``callable(self, *args, **kwargs)``,
-where ``self`` is the ``ModuleHelper`` instance and the union of ``args`` and ``kwargs`` will contain all the parameters passed to the method.
-
-The other option is to use the parameter ``value``, in which case the method will return ``value`` when in check mode.

-UTHelper Guide
-==============
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``UTHelper`` was written to reduce the boilerplate code used in unit tests for modules.
-It was originally written to handle tests of modules that run external commands using ``AnsibleModule.run_command()``.
-At the time of writing (Feb 2025) that remains the only type of tests you can use
-``UTHelper`` for, but it aims to provide support for other types of interactions.
-
-Until now, there are many different ways to implement unit tests that validate a module based on the execution of external commands. See some examples:
-
-* `test_apk.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_apk.py>`_ - A very simple one
-* `test_bootc_manage.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_bootc_manage.py>`_ -
-  This one has more test cases, but do notice how the code is repeated amongst them.
-* `test_modprobe.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_modprobe.py>`_ -
-  This one has 15 tests in it, but to achieve that it declares 8 classes repeating quite a lot of code.
-
-As you can notice, there is no consistency in the way these tests are executed -
-they all do the same thing eventually, but each one is written in a very distinct way.
-
-``UTHelper`` aims to:
-
-* provide a consistent idiom to define unit tests
-* reduce the code to a bare minimal, and
-* define tests as data instead
-* allow the test cases definition to be expressed not only as a Python data structure but also as YAML content
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-To use UTHelper, your test module will need only a bare minimal of code:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # tests/unit/plugin/modules/test_ansible_module.py
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.modules import ansible_module
-    from .uthelper import UTHelper, RunCommandMock
-
-
-    UTHelper.from_module(ansible_module, __name__, mocks=[RunCommandMock])
-
-Then, in the test specification file, you have:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    # tests/unit/plugin/modules/test_ansible_module.yaml
-    test_cases:
-      - id: test_ansible_module
-        flags:
-          diff: true
-        input:
-          state: present
-          name: Roger the Shrubber
-        output:
-          shrubbery:
-            looks: nice
-            price: not too expensive
-          changed: true
-          diff:
-            before:
-              shrubbery: null
-            after:
-              shrubbery:
-                looks: nice
-                price: not too expensive
-        mocks:
-          run_command:
-            - command: [/testbin/shrubber, --version]
-              rc: 0
-              out: "2.80.0\n"
-              err: ''
-            - command: [/testbin/shrubber, --make-shrubbery]
-              rc: 0
-              out: 'Shrubbery created'
-              err: ''
-
-.. note::
-
-    If you prefer to pick a different YAML file for the test cases, or if you prefer to define them in plain Python,
-    you can use the convenience methods ``UTHelper.from_file()`` and ``UTHelper.from_spec()``, respectively.
-    See more details below.
-
-
-Using ``UTHelper``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Test Module
-"""""""""""
-
-``UTHelper`` is **strictly for unit tests**. To use it, you import the ``.uthelper.UTHelper`` class.
-As mentioned in different parts of this guide, there are three different mechanisms to load the test cases.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See the UTHelper class reference below for API details on the three different mechanisms.
-
-
-The easies and most recommended way of using ``UTHelper`` is literally the example shown.
-See a real world example at
-`test_gconftool2.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/10.3.0/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.py>`_.
-
-The ``from_module()`` method will pick the filename of the test module up (in the example above, ``tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.py``)
-and it will search for ``tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_gconftool2.yaml`` (or ``.yml`` if that is not found).
-In that file it will expect to find the test specification expressed in YAML format, conforming to the structure described below LINK LINK LINK.
-
-If you prefer to read the test specifications a different file path, use ``from_file()`` passing the file handle for the YAML file.
-
-And, if for any reason you prefer or need to pass the data structure rather than dealing with YAML files, use the ``from_spec()`` method.
-A real world example for that can be found at
-`test_snap.py <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/tests/unit/plugins/modules/test_snap.py>`_.
-
-
-Test Specification
-""""""""""""""""""
-
-The structure of the test specification data is described below.
-
-Top level
---------
-
-At the top level there are two accepted keys:
-
- ``anchors: dict``
-    Optional. Placeholder for you to define YAML anchors that can be repeated in the test cases.
-    Its contents are never accessed directly by test Helper.
- ``test_cases: list``
-    Mandatory. List of test cases, see below for definition.
-
-Test cases
----------
-
-You write the test cases with five elements:
-
- ``id: str``
-    Mandatory. Used to identify the test case.
-
- ``flags: dict``
-    Optional. Flags controling the behavior of the test case. All flags are optional. Accepted flags:
-
-    * ``check: bool``: set to ``true`` if the module is to be executed in **check mode**.
-    * ``diff: bool``: set to ``true`` if the module is to be executed in **diff mode**.
-    * ``skip: str``: set the test case to be skipped, providing the message for ``pytest.skip()``.
-    * ``xfail: str``: set the test case to expect failure, providing the message for ``pytest.xfail()``.
-
- ``input: dict``
-    Optional. Parameters for the Ansible module, it can be empty.
-
- ``output: dict``
-    Optional. Expected return values from the Ansible module.
-    All RV names are used here are expected to be found in the module output, but not all RVs in the output must be here.
-    It can include special RVs such as ``changed`` and ``diff``.
-    It can be empty.
-
- ``mocks: dict``
-    Optional. Mocked interactions, ``run_command`` being the only one supported for now.
-    Each key in this dictionary refers to one subclass of ``TestCaseMock`` and its
-    structure is dictated by the ``TestCaseMock`` subclass implementation.
-    All keys are expected to be named using snake case, as in ``run_command``.
-    The ``TestCaseMock`` subclass is responsible for defining the name used in the test specification.
-    The structure for that specification is dependent on the implementing class.
-    See more details below for the implementation of ``RunCommandMock``
-
-Example using YAML
------------------
-
-We recommend you use ``UTHelper`` reading the test specifications from a YAML file.
-See an example below of how one actually looks like (excerpt from ``test_opkg.yaml``):
-
-..  code-block:: yaml
-

-TestCaseMocks Specifications
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``TestCaseMock`` subclass is free to define the expected data structure.
-
-RunCommandMock Specification
-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-``RunCommandMock`` mocks can be specified with the key ``run_command`` and it expects a ``list`` in which elements follow the structure:
-
- ``command: Union[list, str]``
-    Mandatory. The command that is expected to be executed by the module. It corresponds to the parameter ``args`` of the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call.
-    It can be either a list or a string, though the list form is generally recommended.
- ``environ: dict``
-    Mandatory. All other parameters passed to the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call.
-    Most commonly used are ``environ_update`` and ``check_rc``.
-    Must include all parameters the Ansible module uses in the ``AnsibleModule.run_command()`` call, otherwise the test will fail.
- ``rc: int``
-    Mandatory. The return code for the command execution.
-    As per usual in bash scripting, a value of ``0`` means success, whereas any other number is an error code.
- ``out: str``
-    Mandatory. The *stdout* result of the command execution, as one single string containing zero or more lines.
- ``err: str``
-    Mandatory. The *stderr* result of the command execution, as one single string containing zero or more lines.
-

-Creating TestCaseMocks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To create a new ``TestCaseMock`` you must extend that class and implement the relevant parts:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class ShrubberyMock(TestCaseMock):
-        # this name is mandatory, it is the name used in the test specification
-        name = "shrubbery"
-
-        def setup(self, mocker):
-            # perform setup, commonly using mocker to patch some other piece of code
-            ...
-
-        def check(self, test_case, results):
-            # verify the tst execution met the expectations of the test case
-            # for example the function was called as many times as it should
-            ...
-
-        def fixtures(self):
-            # returns a dict mapping names to pytest fixtures that should be used for the test case
-            # for example, in RunCommandMock it creates a fixture that patches AnsibleModule.get_bin_path
-            ...
-
-Caveats
-^^^^^^^
-
-Known issues/opportunities for improvement:
-
-* Only one ``UTHelper`` per test module: UTHelper injects a test function with a fixed name into the module's namespace,
-  so placing a second ``UTHelper`` instance is going to overwrite the function created by the first one.
-* Order of elements in module's namespace is not consistent across executions in Python 3.5, so if adding more tests to the test module
-  might make Test Helper add its function before or after the other test functions.
-  In the community.general collection the CI processes uses ``pytest-xdist`` to paralellize and distribute the tests,
-  and it requires the order of the tests to be consistent.

-VarDict Guide
-=============
-
-Introduction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.vardict`` module util provides the
-``VarDict`` class to help manage the module variables. That class is a container for module variables,
-especially the ones for which the module must keep track of state changes, and the ones that should
-be published as return values.
-
-Each variable has extra behaviors controlled by associated metadata, simplifying the generation of
-output values from the module.
-
-Quickstart
-""""""""""
-
-The simplest way of using ``VarDict`` is:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.vardict import VarDict
-
-Then in ``main()``, or any other function called from there:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars = VarDict()
-
-    # Next 3 statements are equivalent
-    vars.abc = 123
-    vars["abc"] = 123
-    vars.set("abc", 123)
-
-    vars.xyz = "bananas"
-    vars.ghi = False
-
-And by the time the module is about to exit:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-That makes the return value of the module:
-
-.. code-block:: javascript
-
-    {
-        "abc": 123,
-        "xyz": "bananas",
-        "ghi": false
-    }
-
-Metadata
-""""""""
-
-The metadata values associated with each variable are:
-
- ``output: bool`` - marks the variable for module output as a module return value.
- ``fact: bool`` - marks the variable for module output as an Ansible fact.
- ``verbosity: int`` - sets the minimum level of verbosity for which the variable will be included in the output.
- ``change: bool`` - controls the detection of changes in the variable value.
- ``initial_value: any`` - when using ``change`` and need to forcefully set an intial value to the variable.
- ``diff: bool`` - used along with ``change``, this generates an Ansible-style diff ``dict``.
-
-See the sections below for more details on how to use the metadata.
-
-
-Using VarDict
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Basic Usage
-"""""""""""
-
-As shown above, variables can be accessed using the ``[]`` operator, as in a ``dict`` object,
-and also as an object attribute, such as ``vars.abc``. The form using the ``set()``
-method is special in the sense that you can use it to set metadata values:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 123, output=False)
-    vars.set("abc", 123, output=True, change=True)
-
-Another way to set metadata after the variables have been created is:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set_meta("abc", output=False)
-    vars.set_meta("abc", output=True, change=True, diff=True)
-
-You can use either operator and attribute forms to access the value of the variable. Other ways to
-access its value and its metadata are:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    print("abc value = {0}".format(vars.var("abc")["value"]))        # get the value
-    print("abc output? {0}".format(vars.get_meta("abc")["output"]))  # get the metadata like this
-
-The names of methods, such as ``set``, ``get_meta``, ``output`` amongst others, are reserved and
-cannot be used as variable names. If you try to use a reserved name a ``ValueError`` exception
-is raised with the message "Name <var> is reserved".
-
-Generating output
-"""""""""""""""""
-
-By default, every variable create will be enable for output with minimum verbosity set to zero, in
-other words, they will always be in the output by default.
-
-You can control that when creating the variable for the first time or later in the code:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("internal", x + 4, output=False)
-    vars.set_meta("internal", output=False)
-
-You can also set the verbosity of some variable, like:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", x + 4)
-    vars.set("debug_x", x, verbosity=3)
-
-    results = vars.output(module._verbosity)
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-If the module was invoked with verbosity lower than 3, then the output will only contain
-the variable ``abc``. If running at higher verbosity, as in ``ansible-playbook -vvv``,
-then the output will also contain ``debug_x``.
-
-Generating facts is very similar to regular output, but variables are not marked as facts by default.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("modulefact", x + 4, fact=True)
-    vars.set("debugfact", x, fact=True, verbosity=3)
-
-    results = vars.output(module._verbosity)
-    results["ansible_facts"] = {"module_name": vars.facts(module._verbosity)}
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-Handling change
-"""""""""""""""
-
-You can use ``VarDict`` to determine whether variables have had their values changed.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 42, change=True)
-    vars.abc = 90
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    results["changed"] = vars.has_changed
-    module.exit_json(**results)
-
-If tracking changes in variables, you may want to present the difference between the initial and the final
-values of it. For that, you want to use:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    vars.set("abc", 42, change=True, diff=True)
-    vars.abc = 90
-
-    results = vars.output()
-    results["changed"] = vars.has_changed
-    results["diff"] = vars.diff()
-    module.exit_json(**results)

-short_description: The default ansible callback without diff output
-version_added: 8.4.0
-description:
-  - This is basically the default ansible callback plugin (P(ansible.builtin.default#callback)) without showing diff output.
-    This can be useful when using another callback which sends more detailed information to another service, like the L(ARA,
-    https://ara.recordsansible.org/) callback, and you want diff output sent to that plugin but not shown on the console output.
