Regression suites..?

There are a number of corner-cases in core ansible semantics that don't
appear to be nailed down. I don't know about anyone else, but we certainly
seem to have a knack of depending on those without realising it.

I also note there seem to be a fairly high level of bug reports about
regressions introduced with each new ansible release.

Is there interest in accepting regression tests that document expected
ansible semantics? I imagine that they'd basically all be a simple
directory containing a top-level playbook together with expected output.

If there's somewhere to put these I'll be happy to start supplyig them :slight_smile:

Cheers,

We already have a place for this, look under test/ in the repo, we
have many tests testing the semantics, but not every possible
combination and definitely not the 'undocumented/unexpected'
functionality.

There might be some tests we have not ported yet from v1 but should
have that done well before the release of 2.0, so I would also check
those to avoid overlap.
