vmware_rest code generator

IMPORTANT The vmware_rest_code_generator repository has been archived. Refer to the ansible.content_builder instead.

We use this repository to generate the vmware.vmware_rest collection.

Requirements

You need the following components on your system:

• Python 3.6
• tox

Usage

To build the modules: tox -e refresh_modules.

The modules will be generated in vmware_rest subdirectory by default. If you want to target a specific directory:

• tox -e refresh_modules --target-dir /somewhere/else

You can also generate the EXAMPLES section of the modules with the following command:

• tox -e refresh_examples --target-dir /somewhere/else

It will use the content of the tests/ directory to generate the examples.

How to refresh the vmware.vmware_rest content

Install the original vmware.vmware_rest collection from git:

mkdir -p ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest
git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/vmware.vmware_rest ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest

Refresh the content of the modules using this repository:

cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest
tox -e refresh_modules

Refresh the RETURN of the modules using the test-suite:

mkdir -p ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/goneri/utils
git clone https://github.com/goneri/ansible-collection-goneri.utils.git ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/goneri/utils
cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest/tests/integration/targets/vcenter_vm_scenario1
./refresh_RETURN_block.sh
cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/goneri/utils
./scripts/inject_RETURN.py ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest/manual/source/vmware_rest_scenarios/task_outputs ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest --config-file config/inject_RETURN.yaml

Reformat the Python code of the modules using the black formatter:

cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vmware/vmware_rest
tox -e black

Refresh the content of the documentation.

tox -e add_docs

Run ansible-test to validate the result:

virtualenv -p python3.6 ~/tmp/venv-tmp-py36-vmware
source ~/tmp/venv-tmp-py36-vmware/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt ansible
ansible-test sanity --requirements --local --python 3.6 -vvv
