Hi,

I am going to write an Ansible module.
I need some help on the following stuffs:

  • How to setup development environment for Ansible module contribution.
  • Ansible module boilerplate documentation.
  • How to test the module.

Thanks,
Trishna

Hi,

A good place to start is here:

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_modules.html
and specifically the links here: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_modules.html#how-to-develop-a-module

Testing other people’s pull requests is a good place to start, as you’ll need most of a development environment set up to do so - there’s a good page on that here: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_test_pr.html

Hope this helps,

Jon
