Desired Behavior

Have molecule converge find the role without setting the ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH environment variable on command line explicitly:

Answer 1 · 2022-06-11T07:53:02.000Z

could you please try it in pre release version?

pip install molecule== 4.0.0a0

Answer 2 · 2022-06-14T07:54:11.000Z

Reproduce the issue with Molecule-3.6.1

# optional: remove all user-installed Python packages
# python3 -m pip list --user | awk '{print $1}' | tail +3 | xargs python3 -m pip uninstall -y

git clone https://github.com/kilip/ansible-role-workstation
cd ansible-role-workstation

python3 -m pip install --user ansible molecule molecule-docker docker
python3 -m molecule test

The error

ERROR! the role 'kilip.workstation' was not found in /home/o/prj/ansible-role-workstation/molecule/default/playbooks/roles:/home/o/.cache/molecule/ansible-role-workstation/default/roles:/home/o/prj:/home/o/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/home/o/prj/ansible-role-workstation:/home/o/prj/ansible-role-workstation/molecule/default/playbooks

The error appears to be in '/home/o/prj/ansible-role-workstation/molecule/default/playbooks/base.yml': line 8, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

Release molecule-4.0.0 ASAP

Thank you @ssbarnea @zhan9san for your great and very useful work. But, please, release molecule-4.0.0 as soon as possible because this is a blocking issue for many Molecule users.
