Release 3.0.2.

Avoid incorrectly marking zfs tasks as changed (#2454 ) (#2484 )
* Avoid incorrectly marking zfs tasks as changed The zfs module will incorrectly mark certain tasks as having been changed. For example, if a dataset has a quota of "1G" and the user changes it to "1024M", the actual quota vale has not changed, but since the module is doing a simple string comparison between "1G" and "1024M", it marks the step as "changed". Instead of trying to handle all the corner cases of zfs (another example is when the zpool "altroot" property has been set), this change simply compares the output of "zfs-get" from before and after "zfs-set" is called * update changelog format * Update changelogs/fragments/2454-detect_zfs_changed.yml Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * add note about check_mode * Update plugins/modules/storage/zfs/zfs.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * Update plugins/modules/storage/zfs/zfs.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * clarify check mode qualifications * rephrase to avoid hypothetical Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> (cherry picked from commit 8e7aff00b5) Co-authored-by: sam-lunt <samuel.j.lunt@gmail.com>

- redfish_command - add ``PerformRequestedOperations`` command to perform any operations necessary to continue the update flow (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4276).
- redfish_command - add ``update_apply_time`` to ``SimpleUpdate`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3910).

- redfish_info - adds commands to retrieve the HPE ThermalConfiguration and FanPercentMinimum settings from iLO (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6208).
- redfish_utils module utils - added PUT (``put_request()``) functionality (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5490).
- redhat_subscription - add a ``server_proxy_scheme`` parameter to configure the scheme for the proxy server (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5662).
- redhat_subscription - adds ``token`` parameter for subscription-manager authentication using Red Hat API token (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5725).
- redhat_subscription - credentials (``username``, ``activationkey``, and so on) are required now only if a system needs to be registered, or ``force_register`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5664).
- redhat_subscription - the registration is done using the D-Bus ``rhsm`` service instead of spawning a ``subscription-manager register`` command, if possible; this avoids passing plain-text credentials as arguments to ``subscription-manager register``, which can be seen while that command runs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6122).
- sefcontext - add support for path substitutions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1193).
- shutdown - if no shutdown commands are found in the ``search_paths`` then the module will attempt to shutdown the system using ``systemctl shutdown`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4269, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6171).
- slack - add option ``prepend_hash`` which allows to control whether a ``#`` is prepended to ``channel_id``. The current behavior (value ``auto``) is to prepend ``#`` unless some specific prefixes are found. That list of prefixes is incomplete, and there does not seem to exist a documented condition on when exactly ``#`` must not be prepended. We recommend to explicitly set ``prepend_hash=always`` or ``prepend_hash=never`` to avoid any ambiguity (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5629).
- snap - minor refactor when executing module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5773).
- snap - refactor module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute external commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6468).
- snap_alias - refactor code to module utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6441).
- snap_alias - refactored module to use ``CmdRunner`` to execute ``snap`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5486).
- spotinst_aws_elastigroup - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5553).
- ssh_config - add ``host_key_algorithms`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5605).
- ssh_config - add ``proxyjump`` option (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5970).
- ssh_config - refactor code to module util to fix sanity check (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5720).
- ssh_config - vendored StormSSH's config parser to avoid having to install StormSSH to use the module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6117).
- sudoers - add ``setenv`` parameters to support passing environment variables via sudo. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5883)
- sudoers - adds ``host`` parameter for setting hostname restrictions in sudoers rules (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5702).
- terraform - remove state file check condition and error block, because in the native implementation of terraform will not cause errors due to the non-existent file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6296).
- udm_dns_record - minor refactor to the code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6382).
- udm_share - added ``elements`` attribute to ``list`` type parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5557).
- udm_user - add ``elements`` attribute when missing in ``list`` parameters (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5559).
- znode module - optional ``use_tls`` parameter added for encrypted communication (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6154).

-Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
--------------------------------
-
- If you are not using this collection as part of Ansible, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install ``community.sap_libs`` if you are using any of the ``sapcar_extract``, ``sap_task_list_execute``, and ``hana_query`` modules.
-  Without that collection installed, the redirects for these modules do not work.
- ModuleHelper module utils - when the module sets output variables named ``msg``, ``exception``, ``output``, ``vars``, or ``changed``, the actual output will prefix those names with ``_`` (underscore symbol) only when they clash with output variables generated by ModuleHelper itself, which only occurs when handling exceptions. Please note that this breaking change does not require a new major release since before this release, it was not possible to add such variables to the output `due to a bug <https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5755>`__ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5765).
- gconftool2 - fix processing of ``gconftool-2`` when ``key`` does not exist, returning ``null`` instead of empty string for both ``value`` and ``previous_value`` return values (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6028).
- gitlab_runner - the default of ``access_level_on_creation`` changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
- ldap_search - convert all string-like values to UTF-8 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5704, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6473).
- nmcli - the default of the ``hairpin`` option changed from ``true`` to ``false`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
- proxmox - the default of the ``unprivileged`` option changed from ``false`` to ``true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
-
-Deprecated Features
-------------------
-
- ModuleHelper module_utils - ``deps`` mixin for MH classes deprecated in favour of using the ``deps`` module_utils (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6465).
- consul - deprecate using parameters unused for ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5772).
- gitlab_runner - the default of the new option ``access_level_on_creation`` will change from ``false`` to ``true`` in community.general 7.0.0. This will cause ``access_level`` to be used during runner registration as well, and not only during updates (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5908).
- gitlab_runner - the option ``access_level`` will lose its default value in community.general 8.0.0. From that version on, you have set this option to ``ref_protected`` explicitly, if you want to have a protected runner (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5925).
- manageiq_policies - deprecate ``state=list`` in favour of using ``community.general.manageiq_policies_info`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5721).

- rhn_channel, rhn_register - RHN hosted at redhat.com was discontinued years

-  we have not heard about anyone using them in those setups. Hence, these
-  modules are deprecated, and will be removed in community.general 10.0.0
-  in case there are no reports about being still useful, and potentially
-  noone that steps up to maintain them
-  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6493).

-Removed Features (previously deprecated)
----------------------------------------
-
- All ``sap`` modules have been removed from this collection.

-  Following modules are affected:
-  - sapcar_extract
-  - sap_task_list_execute
-  - hana_query

- newrelic_deployment - the ``appname`` and ``environment`` options have been removed. They did not do anything (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
- puppet - the alias ``show-diff`` of the ``show_diff`` option has been removed. Use ``show_diff`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6428).
- xfconf - generating facts was deprecated in community.general 3.0.0, however three factoids, ``property``, ``channel`` and ``value`` continued to be generated by mistake. This behaviour has been removed and ``xfconf`` generate no facts whatsoever (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5502).
- xfconf - generating facts was deprecated in community.general 3.0.0, however two factoids, ``previous_value`` and ``type`` continued to be generated by mistake.

- keycloak_client_rolemapping - remove only listed mappings with ``state=absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5619).
- keycloak_user_federation - fixes federation creation issue. When a new federation was created and at the same time a default / standard mapper was also changed / updated the creation process failed as a bad None set variable led to a bad malformed url request (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5750).
- keycloak_user_federation - fixes idempotency detection issues. In some cases the module could fail to properly detect already existing user federations because of a buggy seemingly superflous extra query parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5732).

- nmcli - fix improper detection of changes to ``wifi.wake-on-wlan`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5431).
- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue for bridge connections. Module forced default value of ``bridge.priority`` to nmcli if not set; if ``bridge.stp`` is disabled nmcli ignores it and keep default (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/3216, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/4683).
- nmcli - fixed idempotency issue when module params is set to ``may_fail4=false`` and ``method4=disabled``; in this case nmcli ignores change and keeps their own default value ``yes`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6106).

- one_vm - avoid splitting labels that are ``None`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5489).
- one_vm - fix syntax error when creating VMs with a more complex template (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6225).

- pipx - fixed handling of ``install_deps=true`` with ``state=latest`` and ``state=upgrade`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6303).
- portage - update the logic for generating the emerge command arguments to ensure that ``withbdeps: false`` results in a passing an ``n`` argument with the ``--with-bdeps`` emerge flag (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6451, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6456).
- proxmox inventory plugin - fix bug while templating when using templates for the ``url``, ``user``, ``password``, ``token_id``, or ``token_secret`` options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5640).
- proxmox inventory plugin - handle tags delimited by semicolon instead of comma, which happens from Proxmox 7.3 on (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5602).
- proxmox_disk - avoid duplicate ``vmid`` reference (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5492, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5493).
- proxmox_disk - fixed issue with read timeout on import action (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5803).

- redhat_subscription - do not pass arguments to ``subscription-manager register`` for things already configured; now a specified ``rhsm_baseurl`` is properly set for subscription-manager (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5583).
- redhat_subscription - do not use D-Bus for registering when ``environment`` is specified, so it possible to specify again the environment names for registering, as the D-Bus APIs work only with IDs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6319).
- redhat_subscription - try to unregister only when already registered when ``force_register`` is specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/6258, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6259).
- redhat_subscription - use the right D-Bus options for environments when registering a CentOS Stream 8 system and using ``environment`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6275).
- redhat_subscription, rhsm_release, rhsm_repository - cleanly fail when not running as root, rather than hanging on an interactive ``console-helper`` prompt; they all interact with ``subscription-manager``, which already requires to be run as root (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/734, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6211).
- rhsm_release - make ``release`` parameter not required so it is possible to pass ``null`` as a value. This only was possible in the past due to a bug in ansible-core that now has been fixed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6401).
- rundeck module utils - fix errors caused by the API empty responses (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)

- rundeck_project - update the module to use ``module_utils.rundeck`` functions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5742) (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6300)
- snap_alias - module would only recognize snap names containing letter, numbers or the underscore character, failing to identify valid snap names such as ``lxd.lxc`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6361).
- splunk callback plugin - adjust type of callback to ``notification``, it was incorrectly classified as ``aggregate`` before (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5761).

- unixy callback plugin - fix plugin to work with ansible-core 2.14 by using Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
- unixy callback plugin - fix typo introduced when updating to use Ansible's configuration manager for handling options (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5600).
- various plugins and modules - remove unnecessary imports (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5940).
- vdo - now uses ``yaml.safe_load()`` to parse command output instead of the deprecated ``yaml.load()`` which is potentially unsafe. Using ``yaml.load()`` without explicitely setting a ``Loader=`` is also an error in pyYAML 6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5632).
- vmadm - fix for index out of range error in ``get_vm_uuid`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5628).

- zfs_delegate_admin - zfs allow output can now be parsed when uids/gids are not known to the host system (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5943).
- zypper - make package managing work on readonly filesystem of openSUSE MicroOS (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/5615).
+- stackpath_compute inventory script - fix broken validation checks for client ID and client secret (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2448).

+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- If you use Ansible 2.9 and these plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 3.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the DellEMC content by FQCN, like ``community.general.idrac_firmware``.
+  Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``dellemc.openmanage.idrac_firmware`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``dellemc.openmanage`` installed.
+
+  If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 4.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection if you are using any of these plugins or modules.
+  While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 3.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as dellemc.openmanage) must be installed for them to work.
+- gitlab_deploy_key - if for an already existing key title a different public key was given as parameter nothing happened, now this changed so that the public key is updated to the new value (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1661).
+- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the alias (name) is changed. This was originally the intended behavior, but did not work due to a logic error. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
+- java_keystore - instead of failing, now overwrites keystore if the passphrase is changed. Make sure that your playbooks and roles do not depend on the old behavior of failing instead of overwriting (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1671).
+- one_image - use pyone instead of python-oca (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2032).
+- utm_proxy_auth_profile - the ``frontend_cookie_secret`` return value now contains a placeholder string instead of the module's ``frontend_cookie_secret`` parameter (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1736).
+

-# Contributing
-
-We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
-
-If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
-
-## Issue tracker
-
-Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
-There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
-Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
-so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
-
-* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
-* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
-
-## Open pull requests
-
-Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
-You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
-Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native english speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!
-
-Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.
-
-* Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
-* Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
-* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the repository checkout.
-* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/development_process.html#creating-changelog-fragments). (You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
-* Avoid reformatting unrelated parts of the codebase in your PR. These types of changes will likely be requested for reversion, create additional work for reviewers, and may cause approval to be delayed.
-
-You can also read [our Quick-start development guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/create_pr_quick_start_guide.rst).
-
-## Test pull requests
-
-If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how do it quickly.
-
-If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
-
-## 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`. Please see [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/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. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-The following commands show how to run sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-```.bash
-# 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
-
-# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
-ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
-```
-
-If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
-   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
-
-3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
-
-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
-   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
-     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
-   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
-     which run in CI.
-
-4. Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
-   (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
-   than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
-
-5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
-   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
-   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
-
-   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.
-
-## pre-commit
-
-To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
-corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
-the [Installation](#installation) section below.
-
-This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
-
-### Installation
-
-Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
-
-This is optional to run it locally.
-
-You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-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 :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')|indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-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 ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` 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 ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml')|indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[4:16] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}

-Counting elements in a sequence
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``community.general.counter`` filter plugin allows you to count (hashable) elements in a sequence. Elements are returned as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Count character occurrences in a string
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'abccbaabca' | community.general.counter }}"
-
-    - name: Count items in a list
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ ['car', 'car', 'bike', 'plane', 'bike'] | community.general.counter }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Count character occurrences in a string] ********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": {
-            "a": 4,
-            "b": 3,
-            "c": 3

-            "car": 2,
-            "plane": 1
-        }
-    }
-
-This plugin is useful for selecting resources based on current allocation:

-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-

-        ]
-    }
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the ``community.general.dict`` filter can be used:

-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja

-Grouping
-^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
-
-One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')
-
-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')
-
-This produces:

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-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 :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
-
-  list1:
-    - name: foo
-      extra: true
-    - name: bar
-      extra: false
-    - name: meh
-      extra: true
-
-  list2:
-    - name: foo
-      path: /foo
-    - name: baz
-      path: /baz
-
-In the example below the lists are merged by the attribute ``name``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ list1|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby(list2, 'name') }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-It is possible to use a list of lists as an input of the filter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
-
-This produces the same result as in the previous example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-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 ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` 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 ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list1:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        x: default_value
-        y: default_value
-        list:
-          - default_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [1, 1, 2, 3]
-
-  list2:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        y: patch_value
-        z: patch_value
-        list:
-          - patch_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [3, 4, 4, {key: value}]
-
-Example ``list_merge=replace`` (default):
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
-                                             recursive=true) }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - name: myname01
-    param01:
-      list:
-      - patch_value
-      x: default_value

-Parsing CSV files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Ansible offers the :ref:`community.general.read_csv module <ansible_collections.community.general.read_csv_module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the ``from_csv`` filter exists.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Parse CSV from string"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ csv_string | community.general.from_csv }}"
-      vars:
-        csv_string: |
-          foo,bar,baz
-          1,2,3
-          you,this,then
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Parse CSV from string] **************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            {
-                "bar": "2",
-                "baz": "3",
-                "foo": "1"
-            },
-            {
-                "bar": "this",
-                "baz": "then",
-                "foo": "you"
-            }
-        ]
-    }
-
-The ``from_csv`` filter has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
-
-:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
-:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
-:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
-:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
-:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0

-Converting to JSON
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-`JC <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ is a CLI tool and Python library which allows to interpret output of various CLI programs as JSON. It is also available as a filter in community.general. This filter needs the `jc Python library <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ installed on the controller.

-Creating identifiers
--------------------
-
-The following filters allow to create identifiers.
-
-Hashids
-^^^^^^^
-
-`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. This filter needs the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ [1234, 5, 6] | community.general.hashids_encode }}"
-
-    - name: "Decode hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'jm2Cytn' | community.general.hashids_decode }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "jm2Cytn"
-    }
-
-    TASK [Decode hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            1234,
-            5,
-            6
-        ]
-    }
-
-The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
-
-:salt: String to use as salt when hashing.
-:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
-:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0
-
-Random MACs
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You can use the ``random_mac`` filter to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with ff:"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'FF' | community.general.random_mac }}"
-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with 00:11:22:"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ '00:11:22' | community.general.random_mac }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create a random MAC starting with ff:] **********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "ff:69:d3:78:7f:b4"
-    }
-

-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "00:11:22:71:5d:3b"
-    }
-
-You can also initialize the random number generator from a seed to create random-but-idempotent MAC addresses:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    "{{ '52:54:00' | community.general.random_mac(seed=inventory_hostname) }}"

-Paths
-----
-
-The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.

-Selecting JSON data: JSON queries
---------------------------------
-
-To select a single element or a data subset from a complex data structure in JSON format (for example, Ansible facts), use the ``json_query`` filter.  The ``json_query`` filter lets you query a complex JSON structure and iterate over it using a loop structure.
-
-.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.
-
-Consider this data structure:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    {
-        "domain_definition": {
-            "domain": {

-                        "port": "9090"
-                    }
-                ],
-                "library": [
-                    {

-                ]
-            }
-        }
-    }
-
-To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all cluster names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract all server names:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract ports from cluster1:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
-
-.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
-
-To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
-
-.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
-
-You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
-
-.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
-
-To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
-
-.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use `` to_json | from_json `` filter for correct parsing of data structure.

-Working with times
------------------
-
-The ``to_time_unit`` filter allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
-
-There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like ``to_hours``, ``to_minutes``, ``to_seconds``, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
-
-.. list-table:: Units
-   :widths: 25 25 25 25
-   :header-rows: 1
-
-   * - Unit name
-     - Unit value in seconds
-     - Unit strings for filter
-     - Shorthand filter
-   * - Millisecond
-     - 1/1000 second
-     - ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
-     - ``to_milliseconds``
-   * - Second
-     - 1 second
-     - ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``
-     - ``to_seconds``
-   * - Minute
-     - 60 seconds
-     - ``m``, ``min``, ``mins``, ``minute``, ``minutes``
-     - ``to_minutes``
-   * - Hour
-     - 60*60 seconds
-     - ``h``, ``hour``, ``hours``
-     - ``to_hours``
-   * - Day
-     - 24*60*60 seconds
-     - ``d``, ``day``, ``days``
-     - ``to_days``
-   * - Week
-     - 7*24*60*60 seconds
-     - ``w``, ``week``, ``weeks``
-     - ``to_weeks``
-   * - Month
-     - 30*24*60*60 seconds
-     - ``mo``, ``month``, ``months``
-     - ``to_months``
-   * - Year
-     - 365*24*60*60 seconds
-     - ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
-     - ``to_years``
-
-Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to ``to_time_unit`` and to all shorthand filters.

patchback[bot]	a722e038cc	Avoid incorrectly marking zfs tasks as changed (#2454 ) (#2484 ) * Avoid incorrectly marking zfs tasks as changed The zfs module will incorrectly mark certain tasks as having been changed. For example, if a dataset has a quota of "1G" and the user changes it to "1024M", the actual quota vale has not changed, but since the module is doing a simple string comparison between "1G" and "1024M", it marks the step as "changed". Instead of trying to handle all the corner cases of zfs (another example is when the zpool "altroot" property has been set), this change simply compares the output of "zfs-get" from before and after "zfs-set" is called * update changelog format * Update changelogs/fragments/2454-detect_zfs_changed.yml Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * add note about check_mode * Update plugins/modules/storage/zfs/zfs.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * Update plugins/modules/storage/zfs/zfs.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * clarify check mode qualifications * rephrase to avoid hypothetical Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> (cherry picked from commit `8e7aff00b5`) Co-authored-by: sam-lunt <samuel.j.lunt@gmail.com>	2021-05-10 18:17:03 +02:00

patchback[bot]	45343e6bc0	composer: --no-interaction when discovering available options (#2348 ) (#2403 ) The composer module always uses the no-interaction option if it discovers it _after_ calling "composer help ..." but not on the help call itself. The lack of this option caused composer to not exit when called through the ansible module. The same example command when ran interactively does not prompt for user interaction and exits immediately. It is therefore currently unknown why the same command hangs when called through the ansible composer module or even directly with the command module. Example command which hangs: php /usr/local/bin/composer help install --format=json (cherry picked from commit `eb455c69a2`) Co-authored-by: George Angelopoulos <george@usermod.net>	2021-05-01 18:46:16 +02:00
