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](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](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](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_test_pr.html)

Hope this helps,

Jon
