I've added an example command for testing a single Ansible role. For example, suppose I have a role named 'myrole' which I want to test independently (e.g., the role has its own repository); I can then go to the role's root directory and run the example command to run ansible-lint on it.

So, if the role lives at:

~/src/myrole/

then I would go to ~/src/myrole/ and run the sample command provided (included below for your reference):

cd ~/src/myrole

docker run --rm \
  -v "$(pwd)":"/data/$(basename "$(pwd)" )" \
  -e ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH="/data" \
  cytopia/ansible-lint \
  "/data/$(basename "$(pwd)" )/tests/test.yml"

This assumes one uses ansible-galaxy init to create the role's directory structure (i.e., 'tests/test.yml' needs to exist).

I use this frequently (I've an alias to run the test) as I typically have one role per repository such that the code can more easily be re-used by multiple playbooks. As a result, there often isn't a playbook file (hence the use of tests/test.yml)... so... this.
