8 years ago When picking this up, perhaps figuring out how to use vagrant-cachier plugin to speed up vagrant provisioning would be good too. Currently the debian basebox is missing the vbox guest additions because of licencing issues, so the plugin doesn't work.

8 years ago I got as far as running the cryptsetup until it blows up. Strange because the tests for the cryptsetup role itself seem to pass. However the author is doing a ton of magic bootstrapping through a pretty intense ansible testing framework he wrote. I haven't tried it with our role yet.

8 years ago For local testing of Ansible roles, I highly recommend molecule with serverspec unit tests for system state. Writing serverspec tests leaves the door open for a trivial port to inspec, which isn't quite production-ready yet, but has the huge benefit of trivial retargeting, meaning you can verify over SSH transport (vagrant, prod) or local (perfect for CI).

8 years ago Nice find. Usally I'm aware of tools in this space, but I had never heard of molecule. It sounds like what I need. I'll give it a go tonight. I haven't used serverspec in a long time but might be useful in this case. Test kitchen always seems so heavyweight compared to what I want to be doing.
