This project that aims to generate JSON/YAML validation schemas for Ansible files as playbooks, tasks, requirements, meta or vars.
Keep in mind that these schemas will limit your freedom of choice regarding the syntax you can use to write Ansible tasks as they do not allow some historical forms which are still allowed by Ansible itself.
Not any file accepted by Ansible will pass these schemas but we do expect that any file that passed these schemas should be accepted by Ansible.
- YAML 1.2 booleans are required as
trueorfalse, while Ansible itself allows you to use more relaxed forms likeyesorno. - Inline actions are not allowed, as schema cannot validate them
- Non builtin modules must be called using
action:blocks - Module arguments are not yet verified but we plan to implement it
As these schemas are experimental, please refrain from reporting bugs but feel free to create pull-requests to improve the schema.
At this moment installing Ansible Language for vscode extension will activate these schemas. The file patterns used to trigger their use can be seen here
Because these schemas are generic, you can easily use them with any validators that support them.
