I use Ansible 1.9.1 on CentOS Linux 7.1.
I just added a win_test.py file with DOCUMENTATION and EXAMPLES. And now I
can use the module like:
- name: Win test module
win_test:
var: value
I did not put the library option inside my ansible.cfg, because the
documentation states the subdir 'library' is automatically searched by
Ansible.
The one thing that doesn't for now is the test-module command.
Trond, I read your work for different Windows modules, so how did you get
the test-module command to work? At which path you execute the commands in
the docs (git clone, source, chmod)?
