Requirements

Your system needs to have Ansible Lint version 6.11.0 (or later) installed.

Installation

Use the IDE's built-in plugin system:

• File --> Settings... --> Plugins --> Marketplace
• search for: Ansible Lint
• click the Install-button

Or go to the plugin page on the JetBrains-website, download the archive-file and install manually.

Setup

After installing the plugin you should go to the settings dialog and hit the Test button to check if ansible-lint is fully operable.

Adjust the command path and/or options as needed.

⚠️ NOTE

By default, the plugin will only start linting YAML-files if your project root contains one of these configuration files:

• .ansible-lint
• .config/ansible-lint.yml

You can eiter create one manually or use the statusbar pop-up actions; which will be available when a YAML file is opened (and no config file is present):

It is possible to use the plugin without a config file (see settings dialog above). However, this would mean that every YAML-file will unnecessarily be passed to ansible-lint; even in Non-Ansible projects.

License

Please read the license file.
