Regarding Testing of Ansible Playbook for Roles and Tasks

[mavsravikiran]

Description

• I am having a ansible automation for installation of softwares on windows and WSL(Linux)

• We are using two third party package managers for installations

  1. Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/)-- which is for windows
  2. ASDF (https://asdf-vm.com/) , Apt (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/apt.8.html) -- which is for WSL(Linux)

• We are providing installations like Node, Python, Java, AWS (CLI and CDk), terraform, maven, notepad++, ruby, microsoft windows terminal, curl, putty, beyond compare, WINSCP, IDES like VSCode and Intellij

• We have the code path as below structure, consider example for AWS

  1. windows.yml-- which will have the windows script
  2. wsl.yml-- which will have the wsl script
  3. main.yml-- this is the file at present at individual role and we will call those windows.yml and wsl.yml here

• Finally we have a main.yml at root of the application where we will have the roles an tags place

Query / Ask

• As i had given my sample block of code for java and python, similar blocks are there for node, aws roles etc
• My Ask is how can we do the Integration testing, Sanity testing, Unit Testing for those roles, Need some information on this
• If any testing tool is there how can i integrate that with my ansible playbook locally with VSCode, Need some information on this

Need some Guidance/ Help/ Information How can i perform the Testing with these playbooks.
