Example Playbook

Here's an example taken from molecule/default/converge.yml. It is tested whenever you push or create a pull request.

---

  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip

Before you can use this role, the machine needs preparation. In CI, this is handled with molecule/default/prepare.yml:

  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: false

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.epel
