[ansible-project] New module return type

[Jordan Borean]

I don’t meant to burst your bubble but a module to do this already exists 
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/osx_defaults_module.html. It may be good 
to look into that and see if it does what you are looking to so. For this 
issue, complex usually means a rift type, you may be better off setting the 
type as a string and say in the description the type could change depending on 
the key. Unfortunately there isn’t an easy way to do what you are looking to do 
here.

Thanks

Jordan

[ansible-project] New module return type

[matzehollerbach]

I'm currently developing my first ansible module 
.
 
It can read/write os x settings, since these settings can be nested the 
return type can be an integer, float, string, dict, list, etc...
When I run the *validate-modules* test on the following documentation:
RETURN = '''
value:
description: The value associated with the preference domain and key.
 Return type is a python object that maps closest to the 
data type of the macOS preference. This can be an integer, float, string, 
dict, list, etc...
returned: when action=get
type: complex
sample: "{'CustomViewStyleVersion': 1}"
'''

The test complains that I have to add the *contains* key. Because the 
output of my module differs based on which settings it reads, I can't 
specify the *contains* key.
I would be glad if someone could tell me how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance!
