Thanks very much for wanting to contribute!

Fork the community.aws repo to your personal Github account and clone it to a directory structure that's in your COLLECTIONS_PATHS (for example, I use `/local/ansible_collections/community/aws`).

You can use any version of Ansible >= 2.9.10, it does not need to be from source. Sanity tests will be run by CI and can also be run locally from the root of your local checkout of the repo using `ansible-test`, which is a part of Ansible core. `ansible-test sanity plugins/modules/cloudfront_distribution.py` Unfortunately the integration test suite for cloudfront_distribution is disabled right now because it's broken :( https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/issues/184 If you're able to manually test your change when you open a PR we'd appreciate it if you could share that test process so we can duplicate it. > > > > If someone could let me know, that would be great, thank you, > > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to ansible-project+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/dc5c6e45-6e39-454a-adaf-71c923036b1bn%40googlegroups.com > . -- Jill Rouleau They/Them/Theirs Principal Software Engineer - Ansible Cloud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
