Contributor’s Guidelines

  • All YAML files named with .yml extension

  • Use spaces around jinja variables. {{ var }} over {{var}}

  • Variables that are internal to the role should be lowercase and start with the role name

  • Keep roles self contained - Roles should avoid including tasks from other roles when possible

  • Plays should do nothing more than include a list of roles, except where pre_tasks and post_tasks are required, when possible

  • Separators - Use valid names, ie. underscores (e.g. my_role my_playbook) not dashes (my-role)

  • Paths - When defining paths, do not include trailing slashes (e.g. my_path: /foo not my_path: /foo/); when concatenating paths, follow the same convention (e.g. {{ my_path }}/bar not {{ my_path }}bar)

  • Indentation - Use 2 spaces for each indent

  • vars/ vs defaults/ - internal or interpolated variables that don’t need to change or be overridden by user go in vars/, those that a user would likely override, go under defaults/ directory

  • All role arguments have a specification in meta/argument_specs.yml

  • All playbooks/roles should be focused on compatibility with Ansible Automation Platform
