One of +these is ``path``. When used, type ``path`` ensures that an argument is a string and expands any +shell variables and tilde characters. + +This test looks for use of :func:`os.path.expanduser <python:os.path.expanduser>` in modules. When found, it tells the user to +replace it with ``type='path'`` in the module's argument_spec or list it as a false positive in the +test. |
