Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true

  vars:
    pip_install_packages:
      # Test installing a specific version of a package.
      - name: ipaddress
        version: "1.0.18"
      # Test installing a package by name.
      - colorama

  pre_tasks:
    - name: update apt cache.
      apt: update_cache=true cache_valid_time=600
      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'

    - name: set package name for older OSes.
      set_fact:
        pip_package: python-pip
      when: >
        (ansible_os_family == 'RedHat') and (ansible_distribution_major_version | int < 8)
        or (ansible_distribution == 'Debian') and (ansible_distribution_major_version | int < 10)
        or (ansible_distribution == 'Ubuntu') and (ansible_distribution_major_version | int < 18)
  roles:
    - role: buluma.pip

The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using molecule/default/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  become: true
  # become_method: su
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3

  roles:
    - role: buluma.bootstrap

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.

Role Variables

The default values for the variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# For Python 3, use python3-pip.
pip_package: python3-pip
pip_executable: "{{ 'pip3' if pip_package.startswith('python3') else 'pip' }}"

pip_install_packages: []
