Hi,

it seems the action doesn't run all scenarios:
https://github.com/hostwithquantum/ansible-loki/pull/4/checks?check_run_id=860713499

It seems to run default, but not the update scenario.

Is there a way to do a molecule test --all without something like tox? I am not keen on adding another thing. I couldn't figure out how to add parameters to molecule otherwise. Any pointers? I am happy to add the action multiple times too, so I can run the tests in parallel easily.

I am using your awesome action to test my roles. I created a very simple role that has a local action. However, a number of the images fail because python is not installed.

fatal: [generate-ssh-keys-alpine-latestpy310-ansible-4]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"}, "changed": false, "module_stderr": "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/python: not found\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "The module failed to execute correctly, you probably need to set the interpreter.\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 127}

This failed on OpenSUSE, Alpine and Debian images. Please could you add the python package to these images.

Thank you

Our use case is such that we want molecule to fail the first time when there is a problem. We don't want to reproduce the exact same failure 2 more times before the action stops. Doing so seems a waste of Github's compute resources, especially when testing against large strategy matrices.

Can

if [ $counter -ge 3 ] ;

be changed to accept an environment variable? E.g.

if [ $counter -ge ${max_failures:-3} ] ;

? I'd be happy to submit a PR.

Does your action read collections.yml ? I am trying to fix an issue in stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone#104 and it seems that the action does not follow the requirements in https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone/blob/0f12fe870281e321ad2089b2f2e514d8e7d86d78/molecule/default/collections.yml

The original issue seems to be this one: ansible/molecule#2755

I get an email when the build fails, but none when it succeeds.

The package jmespath is required to use the json_query filter: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#json-query-filter

For example this test shows that molecule fails, but GitHub Actions mentions: "This check passed".

Likely relates to the break logic.

The exact command used:

 /usr/bin/docker run --name robertdebockgithubactionmolecule105_f2ef3d --label 488dfb --workdir /github/workspace --rm -e TOX_PARALLEL_NO_SPINNER -e INPUT_IMAGE -e INPUT_TAG -e INPUT_OPTIONS -e INPUT_NAMESPACE -e namespace -e image -e tag -e options -e HOME -e GITHUB_REF -e GITHUB_SHA -e GITHUB_REPOSITORY -e GITHUB_RUN_ID -e GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -e GITHUB_ACTOR -e GITHUB_WORKFLOW -e GITHUB_HEAD_REF -e GITHUB_BASE_REF -e GITHUB_EVENT_NAME -e GITHUB_WORKSPACE -e GITHUB_ACTION -e GITHUB_EVENT_PATH -e RUNNER_OS -e RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE -e RUNNER_TEMP -e RUNNER_WORKSPACE -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_URL -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN -e GITHUB_ACTIONS=true -v "/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_home":"/github/home" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_workflow":"/github/workflow" -v "/home/runner/work/ansible-role-virtualbox/ansible-role-virtualbox":"/github/workspace" robertdebock/github-action-molecule:1.0.5

hey Rob! :)

I'm trying to use this github action for molecule tests in an ansible collection. But apparently it doesn't work with "remote" images which it wants to fetch with rsync.

Is it possible to install rsync in the action container to circumvent this problem?

Edit: Forgot to add the link the the non-working action (if it for some reason github doesn't jump to the proper line, it's the lines 191-195)

hey bud. Requests 2.32.0 is the issue with failing tox. pinning requests<2.32.2 works fine. docker/docker-py#3256 (comment)

(I'm new to making ansible roles AND GitHub actions, so bear with me!)

In my ansible-timezone fork I'm trying to use molecule-action to test. With v5 it fails running molecule missing a parameter, it seems.

In my last test I setup the job so it runs lint with v4 (works) and test with v5 (fails).

Usage: molecule [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'molecule --help' for help.

Error: No such option: --debug test (Possible options: --debug, --no-debug)
ACTION: Retry attempt 1.
Usage: molecule [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'molecule --help' for help.

Example action run: https://github.com/abh/ansible-timezone/actions/runs/5152456387/jobs/9278594310
