Checklist

Before creating a PR, run through this checklist and mark each as complete:

• [ x ] I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
• [ x ] I have added Molecule tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.
• [ ] I have checked that any relevant Molecule tests pass after adding my changes.
• [ ] I have updated any relevant documentation (defaults/main/*.yml, README.md and CHANGELOG.md).

NOTE

• This is a draft. I didn't run tests. As i was limited in time to setup docker plugin on macos. I implemented the versioning for my own use case. (I guess github actions will run the tests)
  • If someone can take the draft, review it and run the tests. It would be nice.
  • Before that change latest version was installed only
• For the test i added. I'm not sure if it's supported to add nested folder. [✅ Already handled after review ✅]
  • I did copy the version test for from registry install
  • The how the test work is clear
  • I'm assuming nested folders are supported and molecule.yml is how a test is found
  • I'm not familiar with molecule
  • If what i did is not appropriate or doesn't work. The test is good. You can adjust it in the right structure.

At first glance the changes look good!

Molecule does not support nested scenarios (folders) so you'd have to create a new scenario (e.g. source-version) and throw your tests in there. You'll also have to add the new scenario to the GH actions matrix 😁

@alessfg thank you. Changes applied as you suggested.

@alessfg I did update the test, should be good now.

The test did fail with no space left in device. Why is that?

• I wasn't using the exact test scenario as source scenario. Now i switched to use the exact same. With specifying the version as the only difference. And checking for the version (Note as well: the latest now is 1.25.2 and the test does install 1.25.1 which make the test valid for testing version specifying against default latest behavior)

I noticed

platforms: # Oracle Linux 7 works in local tests but bugs out in GitHub actions for some undetermined reason

• I guess the space thing is related to the bug ?

The old test did include Oracle

• source scenario does not include it

  • The new update follows source on that

• I did remove - name: Check if NGINX is installed check i included before. As it's not for when installing from source. I made that mistake before.

• All passing except version scenario and only for rhel9
• The version scenario, doesn't have to do anything with install-source

This might be due to a temporary issue with an upstream repo, I'll rerun the tests 😄

Merged. Thanks for the PR!
