The 'env-setup' script modifies your environment to allow you to run ansible from a git checkout using a supported Python version.
First, set up your environment to run from the checkout:
source ./hacking/env-setupYou will need some basic prerequisites installed. If yo 3F29 u do not already have them and do not wish to install them from your operating system package manager, you can install them from pip
python -Im ensurepip # if pip is not already available
pip install -r requirements.txtFrom there, follow ansible instructions on docs.ansible.com as normal.
'test-module.py' is a simple program that allows module developers (or testers) to run a module outside of the ansible program, locally, on the current machine.
Example:
./hacking/test-module.py -m lib/ansible/modules/command.py -a "echo hi"This is a good way to insert a breakpoint into a module, for instance.
For more complex arguments such as the following yaml:
parent:
child:
- item: first
val: foo
- item: second
val: booUse:
./hacking/test-module.py -m module \
-a '{"parent": {"child": [{"item": "first", "val": "foo"}, {"item": "second", "val": "bar"}]}}'return_skeleton_generator.py helps in generating the RETURNS section of a module. It takes JSON output of a module provided either as a file argument or via stdin.
