Ansible extension aims to ease life of Ansible content creators by making
easier to write Ansible playbooks, roles, collections, modules and plugins.
Features
Display violations identified by ansible-lint, ansible own syntax check and
yamllint inside problems tab.
Validate Ansible YAML files and provide auto-complete by using Ansible schemas. Report schema issue directly to the project producing them as they are not embedded inside this extension.
Support inline or full file vaults editing via ansible-vault command. Check out How to edit vaults
Requirements
This extension also installs YAML extension in order to enable schema verification and code-completion.
You need to have Ansible installed locally to have vaults support feature fully working.
Known Issues
For the moment you need to install ansible-lint yourself
Validation schemas used are from the schemas project, so if the schema name is correct, please file bugs directly there.
Schema type assignation is done purely on the filepath, without looking at file content. This means that playbooks are identified only when they are inside a folder named playbooks. The same applies to vars and tasks. If you do not follow the official Ansible code layout guidelines you will not be able to benefit from all of the features. In some cases, unfortunate file or directory naming could confuse the tool to make it attempt to use a different schema. You can override the default file patterns used to determine which schema is used in your vscode settings.json.
