OrchidE 2025.1.4

OrchidE 2025.1.4 now supports Ansible Magic Variables and access to Ansible facts through the ansible_facts array.

Code Completion is available for both. Quick Documentation is also supported for Magic Variables. Deprecated variables with the ansible_ prefix can be refactored across the entire project using the quick fix provided by the “Deprecated usage of injected facts” inspection.

Ansible facts array

OrchidE provides Code Completion for Ansible facts accessed through the ansible_facts array, for example ansible_facts["os_family"].

Code Completion for the Ansible facts array


Code Completion is also available within the array.

Code Completion for individual Ansible facts


The OrchidE inspection “Deprecated usage of injected facts” warns when Ansible facts are still accessed through deprecated injected variables with the ansible_ prefix.

Inspection for deprecated injected Ansible facts

The quick fix can replace all injected Ansible facts across the entire project with the array notation ansible_facts["<fact name>"].

Project-wide refactoring of Ansible facts


The format in which Ansible facts are suggested by Code Completion can be specified under Settings ➞ Editor ➞ OrchidE: Code Completion.
