Tests

• Check molecule for testing.
• How to run tests:
  • Preliminary tasks:
    • Build the Molecule Docker image:

      # git clone https://github.com/tecris/dockerfiles
      # cd dockerfiles/molecule/6
      # ./build_image.sh
      

    • Build test image (example for Debian 10):
      • Step 1:

        # git clone https://github.com/tecris/dockerfiles
        # cd dockerfiles/systemd
        # ./build_image.sh debian 10
        

      • Step 2 (to add JDK to the test image):

        # git clone https://github.com/tecris/ansible-maven
        # cd ansible-maven/dockerfiles
        # ./build_image.sh debian 10
        

  • Run the Molecule test:

    # git clone https://github.com/tecris/ansible-maven
