quick test to use molecule with elasticluster ansible roles

Testing molecule with ElastiCluster roles

• Install elasticluster with this script

• Install all the python deps doing pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install Vagrant and VirtualBox

Now you are ready to do the first test:

$> cd ntpd/
$> molecule test

This should boot two vagrant VMs (centos7 and ubuntu16.04) and test the role:

• Check syntax with yamlint
• Check idempotence
• Check ansible best practices with ansible-lint
• Run unit tests with TestInfra
  • You can see the unit tests here
• Run the tests in Centos and Ubuntu
  • See the config here

Future testing?

Try the molecule openstack driver?

Create a cookiecutter template to automate the creation of molecule configs for elasticluster?

Configure CI to run the tests automatically?

drawbacks / issues

I could not use the group_vars/all provided by elasticluster. This is because ElastiCluster recommends 1role >> 1repo but it can also be adapted to Monolith Repo
