Hao Liu 849f5f796c Restore oauth_token backward compatibility for collection token auth (#16500)
* Restore oauth_token backward compatibility for collection token auth

The aap_token rename (c8981e321e) restored module-level token auth but
left two interfaces from earlier collection releases broken:

- The lookup (controller_api) and inventory (controller) plugins
  previously declared an oauth_token option. Add oauth_token as an
  alias of aap_token in the auth_plugin doc fragment and in
  AUTH_ARGSPEC so query(..., oauth_token=...) and inventory YAML keys
  keep working.

- tower_cli.cfg-style config files used an oauth_token key under
  [general]; it was silently ignored after the rename, quietly
  degrading auth. load_config() now also reads the legacy oauth_token
  key and maps it to aap_token, with the new aap_token key winning when
  both are present. aap_token remains the canonical attribute used by
  _parse_aap_token() and the Bearer header logic.

Also make the test helper compatible with ansible-core 2.21+, which
requires a serialization profile alongside _ANSIBLE_ARGS, and extend
the tests to cover the oauth_token alias and legacy config file key.

No changelog fragment added: awx_collection has no changelogs/
directory on devel.

* Document oauth_token alias in module auth doc fragment

The oauth_token alias was added to aap_token in AUTH_ARGSPEC but not to
the module doc fragment, failing the validate-modules sanity check
(undocumented argument alias).

AWX

Caution

The last release of this repository was released on Jul 2, 2024. Releases of this project are now paused during a large scale refactoring. For more information, follow the Forum and - more specifically - see the various communications on the matter:

AWX provides a web-based user interface, REST API, and task engine built on top of Ansible. It is one of the upstream projects for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

To install AWX, please view the Install guide.

To learn more about using AWX, view the AWX docs site.

The AWX Project Frequently Asked Questions can be found here.

The AWX logos and branding assets are covered by our trademark guidelines.

Contributing

  • Refer to the Contributing guide to get started developing, testing, and building AWX.
  • All code submissions are made through pull requests against the devel branch.
  • All contributors must use git commit --signoff for any commit to be merged and agree that usage of --signoff constitutes agreement with the terms of DCO 1.1
  • Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use git rebase vs. git merge for this reason.
  • If submitting a large code change, it's a good idea to join discuss via the Ansible Forum. This helps everyone know what's going on, and it also helps save time and effort if the community decides some changes are needed.

Reporting Issues

If you're experiencing a problem that you feel is a bug in AWX or have ideas for improving AWX, we encourage you to open an issue and share your feedback. But before opening a new issue, we ask that you please take a look at our Issues guide.

Code of Conduct

We require all of our community members and contributors to adhere to the Ansible code of conduct. If you have questions or need assistance, please reach out to our community team at codeofconduct@ansible.com

Get Involved

We welcome your feedback and ideas via the Ansible Forum.
