Creating custom module

[Jason Edelman]

Hi All,

New guy to Ansible here...

- New python module called 'pinger_test.py' and put it in ./ansible/library.
- Ran 'make webdocs' while in ./ansible
Playbook is:
---
- name: ping automated verification testing
  hosts: routers
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
  - name: automated pings for {{ inventory_hostname }}
    pinger_test:
      source_host = {{ inventory_hostname }}
      remote_hosts = {{ remote_hosts }}

-------------------
When I run the playbook, I keep getting the following output:

cisco@onepk:~/apps/auto-test$ sudo ansible-playbook -i hosts pinger
ERROR: pinger_test is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler


What else can I try to get this going?

Thanks,
Jason

Okay, so my error was very very stupid.  Everything was correct, but I was executing the playbook as such ‘sudo ansible-playbook xxxxx’ and believe since was sudo’ing, I was losing the environment variables that were previously set.  Doh!
