Linter-Ansible-Linting

Build Status

Linter-Ansible-Linting aims to provide functional and robust Ansible-Lint linting functionality within Atom.

Installation

Ansible-Lint >= 3.5.0 is required to be installed (preferably from a package or a pip) before using this. Ansible-Lint < 3.5 is officially unsupported. It may work, but it is not guaranteed. The Linter and Language-Ansible (or Language-Ansible-Advanced) Atom packages are also required.

Notice: Ansible-Lint 5 is supported only as beta for the 1.6.x releases. Your Ansible-Lint version will be auto-detected, and the beta config option will be auto-configured for you. It may be beneficial for you to verify its correct setting in the package config settings yourself. Version 5 will be fully supported in the 1.7.0 release once Ansible-Lint 5 output behavior stabilizes. Note also that Ansible-Lint 5 is slower than previous releases, and more time is therefore needed to display linting information.

Usage

  • This linter must be used on playbook or role task files.
  • Ansible-Lint will attempt to lint includes and roles from your playbook. Errors with includes and roles will throw a clean error to your Atom-Linter display notifications. Syntax errors in the current file, includes, and roles will be caught, and a notification displayed via the linter.
  • Adding any one nonexistent rules directory to the custom rules directories array will cause Ansible-Lint to not function.
  • To quickly and easily access issues in other files, you will need to change the settings inside Linter-UI-Default. For Panel Represents and/or Statusbar Represents, you will need to change their options to Entire Project. This will allow you to use either display to quickly access issues in other files by clicking on the displayed information.

Notice: For versions < 3.5.0, Ansible syntax issues will be displayed at the top of the current file due to a bug in Atom's Node.js and inconsistent output formats for errors from Ansible-Lint. If true syntax checking is desired, then the package linter-ansible-syntax should be installed.
