Re: [ansible-project] How do you validate the Yaml file before Ansible it?

[Michael DeHaan]

ansible-playbook has a --check-syntax option.

In 1.1, it's a little smarter, and there is a --list-tasks to go along
with --list-hosts.

I pass it to stdin to the following script:

-- valyml.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import yaml
import sys
print yaml.load(sys.stdin)

I think that

ansible-playbook --syntax-check

is the correct command, not

ansible-playbook --check-syntax
