Hi everyone!
I’m one of the Ansible documentation writers and we’re looking for some help testing the updated docsite for collections. With Ansible 2.10, all the module documentation pages are moving to new URLs based on the collections those modules live in now.
To make this transition smoother for users, we’ve implemented a number of redirects on the docsite so that you can smoothly go from the module in 2.9 to the module docs in 2.10.
We need as many people as possible to go test out that this works without giving any 404 errors.
Steps to test:
-
Go to http://docs.testing.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/collections/index.html, click on a collection, then click on a module or plugin. You’ll see the new collection-based module documentation.
-
Edit the resulting URL to replace 2.10 with 2.9. You should see the documentation for 2.9 for that same module or plugin.
-
Edit that URL again to replace 2.9 with 2.10. You should come back to the page you started with.
The only time you should get a 404 error is if the module is new in 2.10, or if an older module was removed from 2.10.
Report any other 404s you find on #ansible-docs IRC if you hang out there, or email them to docs@ansible.com
Note - that URL is only to the documentation test site which is subject to change. We’ll keep it constant for a few days to gather any feedback you all have. The version-switcher on the top left isn’t accurate so please just edit the url directly to go back and forth between 2.9 and 2.10.
And thanks for your help!
