I think there're cases where a module with no garnish does not much sense. For example a module may need some package installed, or some minimal configuration done.
Modules could add checks to verify the requirements are met, but there's no pattern / facility to acomplish that afaik, and each module does it on its own, in case it does. It would be easier to provide companion roles or plays in ansible core, that need to be run before a module can be used. Those roles/plays should be overridable to allow for customizations. my 2 ¢ > > > On Monday, April 28, 2014, Petros Moisiadis <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Hello, > > I know about a ./library path that can exist at the playbook > level, but > I did not find any reference to a ./library path at role level.
