-## Run sanity or unit locally (with antsibull-nox)
-
-The easiest way to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/antsibull-nox/).
-(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)

-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel

-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).

-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:

-Set notes. The tag *alias* will be used to create inventory aliases:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_1" 052b9557
-   notes: none -> vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_1
-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_2" 1c11de2d
-   notes: none -> vmm=iocage_02 project=foo alias=srv_2
-   shell> iocage set notes="vmm=iocage_02 project=bar alias=srv_3" 9d94cc9e
-   notes: none -> vmm=iocage_02 project=bar alias=srv_3
-
-Update the inventory configuration. Set the option
-:ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:inventory_hostname_tag` to :ansval:`alias`. This tag keeps the
-value of the alias. The option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:get_properties` must be
-enabled. For example, ``hosts/02_iocage.yml`` contains:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   get_properties: true
-   inventory_hostname_tag: alias
-   hooks_results:
-     - /var/db/dhclient-hook.address.epair0b
-   compose:
-     ansible_host: (iocage_hooks.0 == '-') | ternary(iocage_ip4, iocage_hooks.0)
-     iocage_tags: dict(iocage_properties.notes | split | map('split', '='))
-   keyed_groups:
-     - prefix: vmm
-       key: iocage_tags.vmm
-     - prefix: project
-       key: iocage_tags.project
-
-Display tags and groups. Create a playbook ``pb-test-groups.yml`` with the following content:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-   - hosts: all
-     remote_user: admin
-
-     vars:

-         run_once: true

------

-The iocage utility internally opens a console to a jail to get the jail's DHCP address. This
-requires root. If you run the command ``iocage list -l`` as unprivileged user, you'll see the
-message ``DHCP (running -- address requires root)``. If you are not granted the root privilege, use
-``/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks``. For example, in the jail *srv_1*, create the file
-``/zroot/iocage/jails/srv_1/root/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks``

-
-See: `man dhclient-script <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?dhclient-script>`_
-
-Create the inventory configuration. Use the option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` instead of :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:sudo`:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> cat hosts/02_iocage.yml
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   hooks_results:
-     - /var/db/dhclient-hook.address.epair0b
-
-.. note::
-
-   The option :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` expects the poolname to be mounted to ``/poolname``. For example, if you
-   activate the pool iocage, this plugin expects to find the :ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:hooks_results` items in the path
-   /iocage/iocage/jails/<name>/root. If you mount the poolname to a different path, the easiest
-   remedy is to create a symlink.
-
-As admin at the controller, display the inventory:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> ansible-inventory -i hosts/02_iocage.yml --list --yaml
-   all:
-     children:
-       ungrouped:

-             iocage_ip4_dict:
-               ip4: []
-               msg: DHCP (running -- address requires root)

-             iocage_ip6: '-'
-             iocage_jid: '205'

-             iocage_template: ansible_client
-             iocage_type: jail
-
-Compose the variable ``ansible_host``. For example, ``hosts/02_iocage.yml`` could look like:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-   plugin: community.general.iocage
-   host: 10.1.0.73
-   user: admin
-   hooks_results:
-     - /var/db/dhclient-hook.address.epair0b
-   compose:
-     ansible_host: (iocage_hooks.0 == '-') | ternary(iocage_ip4, iocage_hooks.0)
-
-Test the jails. Create a playbook ``pb-test-uname.yml``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   - hosts: all
-     remote_user: admin
-
-     vars:
-

-         register: out
-
-       - debug:
-           var: out.stdout
-
-See: :ref:`working_with_bsd`
-
-Run the playbook:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   shell> ansible-playbook -i hosts/02_iocage.yml pb-test-uname.yml
-

-
-Update the inventory configuration. Compose a dictionary *iocage_tags* and create groups. The option
-:ansopt:`community.general.iocage#inventory:get_properties` must be enabled.
-For example, ``hosts/02_iocage.yml`` could look like:

-     - prefix: vmm
-       key: iocage_tags.vmm
-     - prefix: project

-    The ``VarDict`` class was introduced in community.general 7.1.0, as part of ``ModuleHelper`` itself.

+    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:
 
-    Some code might still refer to the class variables ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation``, used for the transtition to the new

+        #.  Set ``use_old_vardict = False`` to make the MH module use the new ``VarDict`` immediatelly.

 As with most Ansible modules, the default states of the Packet modules are idempotent, meaning the resources in your project will remain the same after re-runs of a playbook. Thus, we can keep the ``packet_sshkey`` module call in our playbook. If the public key is already in your Packet account, the call will have no effect.

-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:

-
-.. 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.
