Add module to collection for writing attachments to file system about ansible-keepass HOT 5 CLOSED

Please create PR, I'll add your module to collection

from ansible-keepass.

No need to write an extra module to access attached files. #30 aims to do that from the actual lookup plugin: files are retrieved from keepass entries and copied to temp files that are deleted when socket closes. (more doc on how using this feature will be added if you are interested).

Of course, if you need a permanent storage, your module could be useful.

@dangoncalves That's nice. I'll provide my module for @viczem to do what he wants with it.

May I ask for some help regarding development of the collection or even better a few lines in the README.md for contributors?

I forked the repo, did a git clone, placed and updated the attachment.py under plugin. I've set COLLECTIONS_PATH (correct?):

jimisola@turing:~/cloud/dev/opensource/ansible_collections/viczem/keepass (feature/attachment_to_file)$ echo $COLLECTIONS_PATHS 
/home/jimisola/cloud/dev/opensource:/home/jimisola/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections

and ran ansible-test sanity checks (here).

How do I (without installing the collection):

1. ansible-doc -t lookup keepass

jimisola@turing:~/cloud/dev/opensource/ansible_collections/viczem/keepass (feature/attachment_to_file)$ ansible-doc -t lookup keepass
[WARNING]: lookup keepass not found in: /home/jimisola/.ansible/plugins/lookup:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/lookup:/usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/ansible/plugins/lookup

2. Run the example in doc/examples/example-playbook.yml? Tried different variants. But, since the collection is not installed it isn't found by ansible. --collections-path does not seem to work either.

jimisola@turing:~/cloud/dev/opensource/ansible_collections/viczem/keepass (feature/attachment_to_file)$ ansible-playbook doc/examples/example-playbook.yml --ask-vault-pass
Vault password: 
...
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{{ lookup('viczem.keepass.keepass', 'spam', 'username') }}'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: lookup plugin (viczem.keepass.keepass) not found"}

Finally, I've noticed that there are some typos, wrong directory names, use of "plugin" instead of "collection" etc. I'll create a PR for that as well.

Hello,

I just made a gist to help you installing the collection for dev purpose.

The collection works and directories names are correct see this example

from ansible-keepass.

@dangoncalves Thank you for the gist!

Regarding the wrong directory, this viczem.keepass collection has docwhile the official documentation and your provided example uses [docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections_structure.html#docs-directory) (trailing 's'). I believe that those should be the same. Or perhaps it does not matter?
