Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 25.x, the CLI entry point was moved from 'ansible-creator' (with hyphen) to 'ansible-creator' (underscore is not used). Scripts relying on the old command name may fail.

fix

Update scripts to use 'ansible-creator' command.

affects: <25.0.0

breakingThe init command required '--type' argument is mandatory; omitting it raises a TypeError.

fix

Always specify --type (role, playbook, collection, etc.).

affects: All

deprecatedThe '--output' flag has been deprecated in favor of '--path'. Using --output will still work but emits a warning and may be removed in future.

fix

Replace --output with --path.

affects: >=25.0.0
