Description

I am using ansible automation to install softwares like maven, node ,java, Terraform etc in both Windows and WSL(Linux)
We are planning some automated testing for Windows, WSL and even for MacOS using Github Actions

Scripting

Actually i am trying to implement for one of the sample role maven and below are the code blocks for Reference

For Windows
name: Windows - Install Maven command: "{{ powershell_path }} {{ windows_environment_variables }} choco upgrade {{ item.name }} --version {{ item.version }} --no-progress --allow-downgrade -y" retries: 5 delay: 10 register: result until: result is success loop:
- { name: maven, version: "{{ maven_version }}" }
name: Windows - Copy Maven settings.xml file copy: src: settings.xml dest: "{{ maven_windows_settings_path }}" mode: "644"

For WSL

---
- name: WSL - Add Maven plugin in asdf
  shell: "bash -lic 'source {{ wsl_bashrc_path }} && asdf plugin add maven'"
  become: true
  become_user: "{{ ansible_env.SUDO_USER }}"
  become_method: su
  retries: 5
  delay: 10
  register: result
  until: result is success
  failed_when: result.rc != 0 and result.rc != 2

- name: WSL - Install Maven
  shell: "bash -lic 'source {{ wsl_bashrc_path }} && asdf install maven {{ maven_version }}'"
  become: true
  become_user: "{{ ansible_env.SUDO_USER }}"
  become_method: su
  retries: 5
  delay: 10
  register: result
  until: result is success

- name: WSL - Set global maven version
  shell: "bash -lic 'source {{ wsl_bashrc_path }} && asdf global maven {{ maven_version }}'"
  become: true
  become_user: "{{ ansible_env.SUDO_USER }}"
  become_method: su

- name: WSL - Copy Maven settings.xml file
  copy:
    src: settings.xml
    dest: "{{ maven_wsl_settings_path }}"
    mode: "644"
  become: true
  become_user: "{{ ansible_env.SUDO_USER }}"
  become_method: su

Molecule Script for Maven Role

I have a defined a maven role under roles folder at the root of the project.
Below is the directory structure for the molecule code -Below are the code blocks i am Attaching as Reference for all the yml files which i had mentioned in the directory structure
Even Attaching the Github Workflow File as Reference

Code for test_default.py

import os
import testinfra.utils.ansible_runner

testinfra_hosts = testinfra.utils.ansible_runner.AnsibleRunner(
    os.environ['MOLECULE_INVENTORY_FILE']).get_hosts('all')

def test_maven(host):
    # Check if Maven is installed
    cmd = host.run("mvn --version")
    assert "Apache Maven" in cmd.stdout

    # Check if Maven's settings.xml file exists
    f = host.file('/usr/share/maven/conf/settings.xml')
    assert f.exists
    assert f.user == 'root'
    assert f.group == 'root'

Code for Converge.yml

- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  # become: yes
  roles:
    - role: maven

Code for Verify.yml

---
- name: Verify Maven role
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: Install Maven
      include_role:
        name: maven

    - name: Verify Maven installation
      command: mvn --version
      register: result

    - name: Assert Maven is installed
      assert:
        that:
          - "'Apache Maven' in result.stdout"
          - "'Maven home' in result.stdout"
        success_msg: "Maven is installed"
        fail_msg: "Maven is not installed"

Requirement

We are planning to have some testing for role level using molecule for the Windows, WSL, Macos using Github Actions
Using Molecule how can we have the script at role level. need script for that would be more helpful

Ask / Help

I had tried to keep this as reference but i am facing some issue while running workflow file.
If that is possible need some script how to do at each role and Need to define Github Actions Workflow to include all the roles for testing the workflow

Please kindly help on this and quick support is much Appreciated 👍
