Python Ansible role checker

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://plaid.readthedocs.io.

Features

Generic ansible role checker. Parses yaml, jinja2 templates and checks for pep8/flake 8 python errors. Also check for files we expect and those we don’t. This is configured in the .plaidrc file:

---

include_files:
  - README.md
  - molecule.yml

exclude_files:
  - .travis.yml

Also in the case a user creates a base role using ansible-galaxy, the tool checks for ‘empty’ main.yml files in ‘tasks’, ‘defaults’, ‘handlers’ and ‘vars’, and checks for empty ‘files’ and ‘templates’ directories. In the future there are plans to check the default information in the ‘README.md’, ‘meta’ and ‘tests’.
