Ansible noop, resume, and skip

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 13:29:11 +0000

Put one noop task at the beginning and end of your role:

---

- name: ToolInstall
  ansible.builtin.meta: noop

# ...

- name: ToolInstallEnd
  ansible.builtin.meta: noop

Now you can resume from where you left off with:

ansible-playbook playbooks/tool/install.yml --start-at-task=ToolInstall

And you can skip over that role and everything before it with:

ansible-playbook playbooks/tool/install.yml --start-at-task=ToolInstallEnd

From package:

# Manjaro / Arch
sudo pacman -S ansible-lint

# Alpine
apk add --update ansible-lint

From Docker (no official image so use mine):

docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/work -w /work sdwolfz/ansible-lint:latest sh

Add a .ansible-lint file containing your rules:

---

skip_list:
  - yaml  # Violations reported by yamllint.

ansible-lint roles/**/*
