16:04:10 <Qalthos> I don't think there's that much to report this week
16:10:45 <Landrash[m]> Observer but I agree
16:11:34 <Qalthos> There is one thing I'd like to share
16:12:30 <Qalthos> #info Work is being done to run ansible-lint on plugin EXAMPLES documentation
16:13:19 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.utils/pull/250/files#diff-2cb00d7cd7c3123961a5a6875584b1ee720e5550efd0eda8a6335a824d397910 is an example of fixes for it in action
16:14:20 <Landrash[m]> That is awesome and will be a big QoL for many
16:15:23 <Qalthos> It's fairly rudimentary right now, but will eventually mean that you can have the plugin examples at least look like what we expect out of playbooks
16:15:58 <Qalthos> #link https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/pull/3309 is the PR
16:16:32 <Qalthos> (and why this meeting had a little slow start 😀
16:16:37 <Qalthos> )
16:17:01 <Landrash[m]> Should really be mentioned at the docs meeting 🙃
16:18:42 <Qalthos> It's still pretty early and just getting tested on network collections right now but yes, plan is on lots of noise being made
16:19:17 <Qalthos> #topic Open Floor
16:19:42 <Qalthos> Does anyone have anything else they want to discuss this week?
16:20:03 <Landrash[m]> None for me
16:20:49 <oliverl-21[m]1> This means you will try to mock the devices the collections are targeting?
16:21:10 <Qalthos> Not in the slightest. This is just formatting and correctness.
16:21:21 <oliverl-21[m]1> Alright
16:21:35 <oliverl-21[m]1> Ah, understood
16:22:25 <oliverl-21[m]1> Linting the documentation examples
16:22:30 <oliverl-21[m]1> Sorry, long day 😬
16:24:41 <Qalthos> Separately, there is the dynamic test generation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.ios/pull/799), but that relies on the resource modules' ability to run offline with provided device state
16:26:16 <Qalthos> Together, we're hoping that the EXAMPLES strings for resouce modules should all be runnable as written, but there's a lot of work to get to the point where we can have assurances about that
16:27:59 <Landrash[m]> This might be out of scope but adding issues about missing examples could be great first issues and make the docs even better
16:33:52 <Qalthos> Unless there's anything else, I'm going to close the meeting
16:33:58 <Qalthos> Thanks for coming by
