bin-symlinksΒΆ

The bin/ directory in Ansible must contain only symbolic links to executable files. These files must reside in the lib/ansible/ or test/lib/ansible_test/ directories.

This is required to allow ansible-test to work with containers and remote hosts when running from an installed version of Ansible.

Symlinks for each entry point in bin/ must also be present in test/lib/ansible_test/_data/injector/. Each symlink should point to the python.py script in the same directory. This facilitates running with the correct Python interpreter and enabling code coverage.
