Ansible is a popular automation tool used for configuring and managing systems. Ansible modules play a crucial role in performing various tasks and operations within Ansible. However, ensuring the quality and reliability of these modules can be challenging, especially as the number of modules grows.

Fuzzible helps in this challenge by automating the testing process. It parses the official module documentation, generates random playbooks, and executes them within clean Docker containers. By doing so, it simulates real-world scenarios and challenges the functionality, stability, and reliability of the Ansible modules.

To use Fuzzible, you need to have Docker and DockerPy installed on your system. Follow the steps below to set up the necessary dependencies:

Install Docker: Refer to the official Docker documentation for instructions on how to install Docker for your operating system.

1. Install DockerPy to manage Docker containers from within Python scripts

   pip3 install docker

   Optionally, you can install it in a Python virtual environment.

2. Clone this repository

3. Make sure Docker is running

4. Run the main.py script

   python3 main.py [options]

   usage: main.py [-h] -m MODULE_NAME -n NUM_TESTS [-s] [-i INTEGRATION_FILE] [-v]
   
   Fuzzer for Ansible modules
   
   options:
   -h, --help              show this help message and exit
   
   -m MODULE_NAME, --module_name MODULE_NAME
                           Name of the Ansible module
   
   -n NUM_TESTS, --num_tests NUM_TESTS
                           Number of fuzzed playbooks to generate
   
   -i INTEGRATION_FILE, --integration_file INTEGRATION_FILE
                           If set, uses the given integration file - which HAS to be placed inside the ansible/setup_playbooks folder
   
   -s, --create_spec     If set, creates specification file
   
   -v, --verbose         If set, sets log level to DEBUG

sudo ln -sf "$HOME/.docker/run/docker.sock" /var/run/docker.sock
