inline-env-var

This rule checks that playbooks do not set environment variables in the ansible.builtin.command module.

You should set environment variables with the ansible.builtin.shell module or the environment keyword.

Problematic Code

---
- name: Example playbook
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Set environment variable
      ansible.builtin.command: MY_ENV_VAR=my_value # <- Sets an environment variable in the command module.

Correct Code

---
- name: Example playbook
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Set environment variable
      ansible.builtin.shell: echo $MY_ENV_VAR
      environment:
        MY_ENV_VAR: my_value # <- Sets an environment variable with the environment keyword.

  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Set environment variable
      ansible.builtin.shell: MY_ENV_VAR=my_value # <- Sets an environment variable with the shell module.
