-## 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.)
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-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:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.
+## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally

 You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`.

 Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases.

-Note that for running integration tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, depending on the test, you need to install [`ansible.posix`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix), [`community.crypto`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto), and [`community.docker`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker):

-
 The following commands show how to run integration tests:

-#### In Docker
-
-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.
 ```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40
+# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
+# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
+ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file

-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file
-```
-
-#### Without isolation
-
-```.bash
 # Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
 ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened

-Quoting :ref:`inventory_aliases`:
-
-   The ``inventory_hostname`` is the unique identifier for a host in Ansible, this can be an IP or a hostname, but also just an 'alias' or short name for the host.

-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=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

-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

-``/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

-             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:

-   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:

-Module Helper
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Introduction
-""""""""""""
-
-``ModuleHelper`` is a wrapper around the standard ``AnsibleModule``, providing extra features and conveniences.
-The basic structure of a module using ``ModuleHelper`` is as shown in the
-:ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.quickstart`
-section above, but there are more elements that will take part in it.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.module_utils.module_helper import ModuleHelper
-
-    class MyTest(ModuleHelper):
-        # behavior for module paramaters ONLY, see below for further information
-        output_params = ()
-        change_params = ()
-        diff_params = ()
-        facts_params = ()
-
-        facts_name = None   # used if generating facts, from parameters or otherwise
-
-        module = dict(
-            argument_spec=dict(...),
-            # ...
-        )
-
-After importing the ``ModuleHelper`` class, you need to declare your own class extending it.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    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.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    More details in sections
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.paramvaroutput` and
-    :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_modulehelper.changes` below.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-    See more about the decorator
-    :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.
-
-.. note::
-
-    The ``VarDict`` class was introduced in community.general 7.1.0, as part of ``ModuleHelper`` itself.
-    However, it has been factored out to become an utility on its own, described in :ref:`ansible_collections.community.general.docsite.guide_vardict`,
-    and the older implementation was removed in community.general 11.0.0.
-
-    Some code might still refer to the class variables ``use_old_vardict`` and ``mute_vardict_deprecation``, used for the transtition to the new
-    implementation but from community.general 11.0.0 onwards they are no longer used and can be safely removed from the code.
-
-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')
-        ...
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``output_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-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', )
-        ...
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``change_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-.. 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)
-
-.. important::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``diff_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-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::
-
-    The variable names listed in ``fact_params`` **must be module parameters**, as in parameters listed in the module's ``argument_spec``.
-    Names not found in ``argument_spec`` are silently ignored.
-
-.. important::
-
-    If ``facts_name`` is not set, the module does not generate any facts.

-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(
-            ...
-        )
-
-        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.

 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:
-          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.

-``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.

-    to perform the action (take a look at the examples section). If such a rule is not present the plugin only works if it
-    is used in context with the root user, because then no further prompt is shown by C(machinectl).
-  - This become plugin does not work when connection pipelining is enabled. With ansible-core 2.19+, using it automatically
-    disables pipelining. On ansible-core 2.18 and before, pipelining must explicitly be disabled by the user.
