Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:
Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.
To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):
molecule test
# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images:
Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:
tox
# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
