Hi All, I am trying to setup my DevBox for contribution. The steps I followed are: - Clone Ansible Core Repo - Install all dependencies like Nose, Yaml etc - Run the test by **make tests** I am getting errors on my test. Can anyone help me to setup my DevBox. I am using python 3.5. Shall I go back to Python 2.7? Thanks for your support. ---

Well in at least one error in the above, it looks like you did not initialize the git submodules. That may be causing other errors you’re seeing. ---

As a overall process I did these steps: - Forked and cloned the repo - Download requirements like **Pyyaml** etc - Ran git submodule update --init --recursive in the root of the project - Ran **hacking/env-setup** in the root of the repo - Ran tests by **nosetests, make tests** but all are failing with same reason unable to finf foo role etc ( attached screenshot in previous thread). What else should I do? Please help me to set up my box. ---
