Little Timmy will try their best to find those unused Ansible variables.
Project description
little-timmy
Little Timmy will try their best to find those unused Ansible variables.
cd repo/ansible/plays
ansible-galaxy collection install -f -r requirements.yml -p .
ansible-galaxy role install -f -r requirements.yml -p galaxy_roles
pip3 install little-timmy
little-timmy
# or
python3 -m little_timmy
It will find most unused variables in:
group_vars
host_vars
vars
defaults
set_facts
- when not defined as key value pairs on a single lineregister
- Inventory files
It is unlikely to find unused variables or may generate false positives for:
- Complex, dynamically referenced or created variables
- Variables referenced by YAML anchors
- Variables consumed in any custom python filters or similar
- Non standard(ish) directory layouts
False positives can be ignored with a config file detailed in the Config section.
Please raise issues with ideas or contributions with improvements!
