Hi All,  
which ansible pluging do you suggest to be installed in Pycharm? I want to use Pycharm as IDE for developing my playbooks?

Is there any facility that you can write your playbook and test it in the same environment to check the output of the playbook , before migrating it in the ansible controle node?

Thanks for your replies.

Regards,  
Azadeh Amir

I use vscode for playbook development. It has lots of great plugins, has git built into it for version control, and has an app for every os platform (windows, macOS, linux).

I use OrchidE and am quite happy with it. It’s not free, but IMHO worth the money

Isn’t that more a question of your environment, or how access to environments is handled? I don’t see how a plugin could help here.

So long
