ansible-validator

What problem does it solve?

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Ansible code (playbooks, roles, and collections). It streamlines syntax checks, enforces best practices, and coordinates security validations to reduce deployment risk and debugging time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• YAML/Ansible syntax validation with yamllint and ansible-playbook --syntax-check to catch structural issues early.
• Linting and quality checks with ansible-lint, plus automated security validation using Checkov.
• Molecule-based testing support for roles (automatic execution when a molecule/ directory is present) to verify idempotency and cross-platform compatibility.

Quick Start

Validate a single playbook: bash scripts/validate_playbook.sh path/to/playbook.yml. Validate a role: bash scripts/validate_role.sh roles/my_role. Detect non-FQCN usage: bash scripts/check_fqcn.sh path/to/playbook-or-role.
