Thank you Jordan, Those two lines saved me lots of time. I am using virtualenvwrapper, so I set the ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS in virtual environment's postactivate, which it is going to set any time switching to ansible-dev environment.
First cloned ansible_collections/community/aws, then had to clone ansible_collections/amazon/aws when got module not found error when tried to test the module through ansible-playbook. Eventually we have to create more directories and clone respected collections, as we are working on more modules, and that would be nice if we had ansible-galaxy-dev command to clone the collection from github along its dependencies at once(Like what James suggested). Moving to collections is improvement for sure, thanks very much.
