gem: integration test fails out of the box

[interfan7]

Summary

I'm ramping-up on testing and contributing a PR on module gem.

Reading the doc on how to test, I've attempted to execute an integration test from a clean clone, but it has yielded errors.

Configuration

OS / Environment

Host OS is MacOS. The docker-desktop is running a VM on which Docker engine is executed.

Steps to Reproduce

Run:

ansible-test integration gem --docker -v

Expected Results

I'm not sure what is the exact expected output (errors, OK's, changes, skipped etc...). Is it documented? But I guess it shall be a successfull Ansible execution?

Actual Results

You need to supply an OS image to --docker (like fedora38 or ubuntu2204); the default image won't work for this integration test.

[felixfontein]

like: ansible-test integration gem --docker fedora38 -v

Thanks @felixfontein !

It works.

What is your suggestion if I need to install a few apps upon that clean image (Ubuntu) for my tests to run? It may be as large as 200-250 MB of apps. Isn't it a waste of BW to d/l it every time the integration test runs? The Ubuntu image is cached, but installing the packages upon each run is executed every run.

[felixfontein]

@interfan7 you might want to look for very small apps then.
