ansible-discover is a command line tool to list dependencies and dependants of Ansible roles and playbooks, respectively.

One of its prime uses is in a CI tool like Jenkins. Once a change on, say a role, is committed, use ansible-discover to gather the dependant roles and playbooks. From this list, the respective CI jobs for playbook and role validations may then be triggered.

pip install ansible-discover

One use case (like outlined above) is to determine all roles (directly or indirectly) depending on a given set of roles:

ansible-discover roles predecessors PATHS

where PATHS is a space-delimited list of paths to roles (e.g., roles/my_sample_role).

In addition to predecessors (i.e., dependants) for roles, you can also discover

• successors (i.e., dependencies) of roles: ansible-discover roles successors;
• predecessors for playbooks: ansible-discover playbooks predecessors; and
• successors of playbooks: ansible-discover playbooks successors.
