Basic bash completion for Ansible

ansible-completion

Provide a bash completion on host name, module name and options for ansible.

Installation

1. Get the ansible-completion.bash file.

2. Copy/move the ansible-completion.bash in your bash_completion.d folder (/etc/bash_completion.d, /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.dor ~/bash_completion.d).

3. Or copy/move it where you want and then load the ansible-completion.bash file in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile like that:

   source ~/ansible-completion.bash
   

4. Reload your shell with something like source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.profile

Good to know

If the --module-path (-M) or --inventory-file (-i) is on the command line, the completion will use it.

For the completion on module name, the completion script build a cache of modules names.
You can set the cache timeout with the environement variable ANSIBLE_COMPLETION_CACHE_TIMEOUT, the default value is 120 secondes.
