Testing Ansible Roles with Molecule

Ton Kersten

When writing Ansible roles it is an absolute must to test these in different environments and on different operating systems. As you can imagine, this can be a rather tedious task. But luckily there is Molecule. Molecule is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles and provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions.

Ton is absolutely not a Molecule guru, but using Molecule turned out to more difficult than expected. This presentation is about his experiences and what pitfalls he encountered, thus preventing you from running into the same irritation, frustration and hurray loops.
