Role Testing POC - for Partner content

Create a POC that includes the following:

• A role that installs and configures a thing in a VM
• Within the role, generate the molecule directory structure
• Add a custom Ansible playbook that tests the role. It should include multiple sets of tasks and asserts that exercise and test the role.
• A job in Software Factory that runs the test playbook for the same platforms enumerated in the molecule secnarios
• Connect the job to the role repository so that the job executes when a PR is submitted

From the POC we want to learn the following:

• How to use Molecule
• How we might ask Galaxy contributors to structure Molecule tests
• How to create and execute jobs in Software Factory
• How gating works in Software Factory
• What data is available from a job run, and how might it inform Galaxy?

Add to molecule directory to ansible-galaxy init and hope for the best? 😄

It’ll be up to the content author to provide the tests and test scenarios. If you want to use custom images, that’ll work, as long as they’re publicly accessible.

FWIW, we’re using a copy of your grafana role for our POC.
