Hi all,
ansible's firewalld-module is kinda picky when it comes to testing.
To work it needs a started firewalld. Even in check mode.
So if I test my playbook which installs firewalld, starts it and then
does some stuff, it errors out because firewalld is not running (as it
is not being installed as I am still in check mode). Get it?
This is stupid, as I cannot do the actual installation and starting of
firewalld just to avoid errors during testing.
How to workaround this? Why is this module implemented in such a
nitpicking way?
Frustrated,
Johannes
