Molecule aids in the development, and testing of Ansible roles.
Project description
Molecule is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles including support for multiple instances, operating system distributions, virtualization providers and test frameworks.
It leverages Vagrant, Docker, and OpenStack to manage virtual machines/containers, with support for multiple Vagrant providers (currently VirtualBox, Parallels, VMware Fusion, and Libvirt). Molecule supports Serverspec, Testinfra, or Goss (beta) to run tests. Molecule uses an Ansible playbook (playbook.yml), to execute the role and its tests.
Ansible Support
2.1.5.0 - Supported
2.2.2.0 - Supported
2.3.0.0 - Supported
Dependencies
Molecule relies on several outside packages and programs to function.
Verifier
Testinfra (default)
Driver
Provider
VirtualBox (default)
Quick Start
Install OS dependencies on CentOS 6/7
$ yum install -y epel-release
$ yum install gcc python-devel openssl-devel libffi-develInstall OS dependencies on Ubuntu 16.x
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install gcc python-pip python-vagrant libssl-dev libffi-devInstall Molecule using pip:
$ pip install ansible
$ pip install docker
$ pip install moleculeCreate a new role with the docker driver:
$ molecule init --role foo --driver docker
--> Initializing role foo...
Successfully initialized new role in /private/tmp/foo.Or add Molecule to an existing role:
$ cd foo
$ molecule init --driver docker
--> Initializing molecule in current directory...
Successfully initialized new role in /private/tmp/foo.Update the role with needed functionality and tests. Now test it:
$ cd foo
$ molecule test
