Hi, we have several playbooks and roles in our project so I try to organize them in that way:
\---deployment \---trunk | ansible.cfg | app1.yml | ....yml | app[N].yml +---files +---filter_plugins +---group_vars +---library +---playbooks | +---provisioning | | | binaryBuild.yml | | | root.yml | | | site.yml | | | user.yml | | +---roles | | | test-java.yml | | | +---java we put the ansible.cfg to the root of our project (trunk) to keep all settings in a central place, so whenever somebody checks out that project it should be executable. Now, when invoking ansible-playbook -i /path/to/inventory/hosts playbooks/provisioning/site.yml the execution faills because of missing roles, filter_plugins and so on. Ansible tries to load those relative to the playbook - and not relative to the current directory! Only workaround I found is to add a list of settings to the ansible.cfg file: roles_path = roles: ../roles: ../../roles filter_plugins = filter_plugins:../filter_plugins:../../filter_plugins:~/. ansible/plugins/filter_plugins/:/usr/share/ansible_plugins/filter_plugins Using ${ANSIBLE_HOME} in the ansible.cfg to have fixed path also did not work for me. => What is the "best practice" to organize real-life projects, containing a huge list of playbooks? => Also, where do people put their "test playbooks", for integration testing of roles ? I dont want a solution based on * ansible.cfg outside the project ( HOME directory or any other user dependant place) * symlinks I couldnĀ“t find any hint concerning "test playbooks" and "organizing modules" in the documentation.
