Integration testing

This role provides integration tests using the Ruby RSpec/serverspec framework with a few drawbacks at the time of writing this documentation.

• Currently supports ansible_os_family == Debian and RedHat.

Running integration tests requires a number of dependencies being installed. As this role uses Ruby RSpec there is the need to have Ruby with rake and bundler available.

# install role specific dependencies with bundler
bundle install

# run the complete test suite with Docker
rake suite

# run the complete test suite with Vagrant
RAKE_ANSIBLE_USE_VAGRANT=1 rake suite
