There isn't really an AST for Ansible. Ultimately, there are ways to achieve this, they just aren't "supported". You could use the Ansible code to do it, but you would need to understand that it could break at any point in time without notification.
Or you could write your own tooling from scratch. I wrote a proof of concept tool recently, that used the Ansible code. You can look at it for inspiration, but again, it may stop working at any point in time. https://gist.github.com/sivel/1f850b7f577b9dc9466293034c82b19d On Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 10:49 AM Nemania Borovits <nemaniaborov...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the quick answer Matt.
