- Ansible sanity test is available in SANITY.md file
- Assuming you are in the root folder of your ansible project.
Specify a module path in your ansible configuration file.
$ vim ansible.cfg[defaults]
...
library = ./library
...Create the directory and copy the python modules into that directory
$ mkdir library
$ cp path/to/module library- If you use Ansible AWX and have no way to edit the control node, you can add the /library directory to the same directory as the playbook .yml file
