Test for changes in validation output in Ansible

readme.md

Test for new implementation of validation error output in:

• https://github.com/bertvv/ansible/tree/wip/validation-output
• https://github.com/bertvv/ansible-modules-core/tree/wip/validation-output

Run with

ansible-playbook -i inventory test.yml --skip-tags=fail

Tests that should fail are tagged as such. Leave the --skip-tags to let them fail...

File contents for test fixture:

• inventory:

  localhost
  

• a/testcopysucceed.txt:

  This is a test
  

• a/testcopyfail.txt:

  This will fail
  

• a/template.j2:

  {{ ansible_hostname }}
  

Directory b/ should contain two empty files, b/lineinfilenovalidation.txt and b/lineinfile.txt.
