Plugin to manage Ansible roles and plays testing with testinfra, using Docker containers

This Pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's Cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

This plugin help to manage Ansible roles and playbook testing with Docker, Testinfra and tox.

This plugin is used with my Ansible role template: ìnfopen_role_template.

For each Docker image configured, it:

• create a Docker container on localhost
• import ssh public key to root user account
• create a temporary inventory file
• run one or two provisions (second is used for idempotence testing) using SSH
• execute all tests into the container.

If used with tox, you can manage quicly a matrix based testing:

• tox manage X Ansible version
• this plugin help to manage Y Docker systems

Some requirements:

• a local docker installation (Why not manage remote Docker install later)
• SSH key pair

You can install "pytest-ansible-docker" via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install pytest-ansible-docker

I only used this plugin to manage my role testing, locally and on Travis, you can check ìnfopen_role_template for example.

Contributions are very welcome. Tests can be run with tox, please ensure the coverage at least stays the same before you submit a pull request.

Distributed under the terms of the MIT license, "pytest-ansible-docker" is free and open source software
