'Hacking' directory tools
=========================
Env-setup
---------
The 'env-setup' script modifies your environment to allow you to run
ansible from a git checkout using python 2.6+. (You may not use
python 3 at this time).
First, set up your environment to run from the checkout:
$ source ./hacking/env-setup
You will need some basic prerequisites installed. If you do not already have them
and do not wish to install them from your operating system package manager, you
can install them from pip
$ easy_install pip # if pip is not already available
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
From there, follow ansible instructions on docs.ansible.com as normal.
Test-module
-----------
'test-module' 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 -m lib/ansible/modules/commands/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:
```yaml
parent:
child:
- item: first
val: foo
- item: second
val: boo
```
Use:
$ ./hacking/test-module -m module \
-a '{"parent": {"child": [{"item": "first", "val": "foo"}, {"item": "second", "val": "bar"}]}}'
return_skeleton_generator.py
----------------------------
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.
Module-formatter
----------------
The module formatter is a script used to generate manpages and online
module documentation. This is used by the system makefiles and rarely
needs to be run directly.
fix_test_syntax.py
------------------
A script to assist in the conversion for tests using filter syntax to proper jinja test syntax. This script has been used to convert all of the Ansible integration tests to the correct format for the 2.5 release. There are a few limitations documented, and all changes made by this script should be evaluated for correctness before executing the modified playbooks.
Authors
-------
'authors' is a simple script that generates a list of everyone who has
contributed code to the ansible repository.
