Testing documentation
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
Before you submit a module for inclusion in the main Ansible repo, you must test your documentation for correct HTML rendering and to ensure that the argspec matches the documentation.
|
|
|
|
To check the HTML output of your module documentation:
|
|
|
|
#. Save your completed module file into the correct directory: ``lib/ansible/modules/$CATEGORY/my_code.py``.
|
|
#. Move to the docsite directory: ``cd /path/to/ansible/docs/docsite/``.
|
|
#. Run the command to build the docs for your module: ``MODULES=my_code make webdocs``.
|
|
#. View the HTML page at ``file:///path/to/ansible/docs/docsite/_build/html/my_code_module.html``.
|
|
|
|
To build the HTML documentation for multiple modules, use a comma-separated list of module names: ``MODULES=my_code,my_other_code make webdocs``.
|
|
|
|
To ensure that your documentation matches your ``argument_spec``, run the ``validate-modules`` test. Note that this option isn't currently enabled in Shippable due to the time it takes to run.
