Indenting with Ansible YAML

[blueyed]

I am looking into indenting for Ansible's YAML, e.g.:

---
- hosts: webservers
  vars:
    http_port: 80
    max_clients: 200
  remote_user: root
  tasks:
  - name: ensure apache is at the latest version
    yum: pkg=httpd state=latest
  - name: write the apache config file
    template: src=/srv/httpd.j2 dest=/etc/httpd.conf
    notify:
    - restart apache
  - name: ensure apache is running (and enable it at boot)
    service: name=httpd state=started enabled=yes
  handlers:
    - name: restart apache
      service: name=httpd state=restarted

(from http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_intro.html)

With your plugin this gets indented as (using gg=G):

---
- hosts: webservers
  vars:
    http_port: 80
    max_clients: 200
    remote_user: root
    tasks:
      - name: ensure apache is at the latest version
        yum: pkg=httpd state=latest
        - name: write the apache config file
          template: src=/srv/httpd.j2 dest=/etc/httpd.conf
          notify:
            - restart apache
            - name: ensure apache is running (and enable it at boot)
              service: name=httpd state=started enabled=yes
              handlers:
                - name: restart apache
                  service: name=httpd state=restarted

According to http://www.yamllint.com/ it is valid.

I have tried to improve another plugin, specifically targeted at Ansible, before (chase/vim-ansible-yaml#36), but it looks like your approach might be better (using the context).

Apart from that you have tests.. :)
