This repository provides a development environment for Ansible playbook creation, testing with Molecule, and ansible-lint checks using OpenShift DevSpaces.

This repository contains a devfile.yaml file, which defines the development environment for Ansible. The DevSpace created using this devfile provides the necessary tools and dependencies for Ansible playbook development, testing with Molecule, and linting with ansible-lint. This is designed to be used in environments where developers do not have easy access to linux systems from which to develop ansible automation content, but do have OpenShift.

The devfile.yaml includes configurations for:

• Ansible
• Molecule (testing framework for Ansible roles)
• Ansible Lint (tool for checking best practices and potential issues in Ansible code)

You can use the provided DevSpace to start working on your Ansible projects immediately, without worrying about setting up the development environment manually.

To get started with OpenShift DevSpaces, refer to the OpenShift DevSpaces documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your development environment and creating your DevSpaces.

Ultimately we intend to use the ansible creator image as the base image, however there are currently some technical blockers to doing that. The Dockerfile in this repo is that of the image we are currently pulling down for reference.

The instructions for configuring OAuth2 for GitHub can be found at the following link:

https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/stable/administration-guide/configuring-oauth-2-for-github/

Once the secret is in place, restart the main devspaces container. Any workspace created before this step is complete will NOT have access to GitHub OAuth, and will need to be deleted and recreated to get access.

TODO: Investigate the setting for subdomain isolation.

NOTE: You will still need to configured your name/email globally the first time your workspace is accessed (or once for each new workspace, if you choose not to configure globally).

git config --global user.name "Homer Simpson"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
