try creating /deployment/boxes/library/
and placing your files there.

Usually, unless you change your ansible.cfg, the plugins, roles, libraries, 
etc are all subdirs of your playbook dir.

Where should the library/ be present?  Could it be also directory under
playbook?

action_plugins/ will not be picked up by ansible unless there is a file in 
library/ with the same name. This file in library/ can be empty, but it 
must exist.

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Ansible Acton Plugins

[Vyacheslav Voronenko]

in my case actions plugins are not picked up from action_plugins/ folder,
but lookup one do from lookup_plugins/ folder. Perhaps I missing smth
obvious.

i.e. I have set of lookup plugins:

/deployment/boxes/lookup_plugins
➜  lookup_plugins git:(feature-standalone-gl-ee) ls *.py
aws_ec2_allocation_id_from_eip.py  aws_secgroup_ids_from_names.py
 aws_subnet_ids_from_names.py  aws_vpc_id_from_name.py  sa_hashi_vault.py

and lookup plugins are picked just fine, I am able to use them in playbook

But the action plugins from  /deployment/boxes/action_plugins  are not
loaded or detected by ansible.
