+Sanity Tests
+************
+
+.. contents:: Topics
+
+Sanity tests are made up of scripts and tools used to perform static code analysis.
+The primary purpose of these tests is to enforce Ansible coding standards and requirements.
+
+Tests are run with ``ansible-test sanity``.
+All available tests are run unless the ``--test`` option is used.
+
+
+How to run
+==========
+
+.. note::
+ To run sanity tests using docker, always use the default docker image
+ by passing the ``--docker`` or ``--docker default`` argument.
+
+.. note::
+ When using docker and the ``--base-branch`` argument,
+ also use the ``--docker-keep-git`` argument to avoid git related errors.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ source hacking/env-setup

+ # Run all sanity tests

+
+ # Run all sanity tests including disabled ones
+ ansible-test sanity --allow-disabled
+
+ # Run all sanity tests against against certain files
+ ansible-test sanity lib/ansible/modules/files/template.py
+
+ # Run all tests inside docker (good if you don't have dependencies installed)
+ ansible-test sanity --docker default
+
+ # Run validate-modules against a specific file
+ ansible-test sanity --test validate-modules lib/ansible/modules/files/template.py
