Debugging (local)

If you want to break into a module and step through with the debugger, locally running the module you can do:
- Set a breakpoint in the module: `import pdb; pdb.set_trace()`
- Run the module on the local machine: `$ python -m pdb ./my_new_test_module.py ./args.json`
- Run the module on the local machine: ``$ python -m pdb ./my_new_test_module.py ./args.json``
Debugging (remote)

- SSH into the remote target after the completion of the playbook
- Navigate to the directory (most likely it is going to be your ansible remote user defined or implied from the playbook: ``~/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-...``)
- Here you should see the module that you executed from your Ansible controller, but this is the zipped file that Ansible sent to the remote host. You can run this by specifying ``python my_test_module.py`` (not necessary)
- To debug, though, we will want to extra this zip out to the original module format: ``python my_test_module.py explode`` (Ansible will expand the module into ``./debug-dir``)

- Navigate to ``./debug-dir`` (notice that unzipping has caused the generation of ``ansible_module_my_test_module.py``)
- Modify or set a breakpoint in the unzipped module
- Ensure that the unzipped module is executable: ``$ chmod 755 ansible_module_my_test_module.py``
