Ansible: Test a task by applying it locally

2 min read

If you need to test a set of ansible tasks without having to go into much trouble, you can use ansible-playbook to do a quick local test. To do so you just need ansible installed and create a yaml file with the playbook to execute using the following format:

--- - hosts: 127.0.0.1 tasks: - name: mkdir /tmp/test command: cmd: mkdir -p /tmp/test
