Ansible Collection - ben_eddy74.vmware_wpro

Documentation for the collection.

Modules

vmware_wpro_vm_power: power commands options: name: name of the vm to manage state: started | stopped | reset | paused | unpaused startwith: gui, nogui (used by started) force: true, false (used by stopped and reset)

Dev

To test a module during development, use the following command from the collection folder:

ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=./plugins ansible -m vmware_wpro_info localhost

To provide arguments:

ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=./plugins ansible -m vmware_wpro_info -a "inventory=yes preferences=yes" localhost

In case of modifications in module_utils, deploy the collection first before testing the module:

ansible-galaxy collection build --force
ansible-galaxy collection install . --force

To avoid going through Ansible, another way is to create an arguments file in the tests folder and run the following command from the collection's plugins folder:

 python -m modules.vmware_wpro_info ../tests/info.json  | jq

Preprod

To test a module from a playbook, build and install the module first:

ansible-galaxy collection build --force
ansible-galaxy collection install . --force

Then the module can be used from a playbook:

ansible-playbook test.yml -vvv
