Usage

To use the action simply create a yaml file in .github/workflows/ directory. See the examples below.

Basic example

In this case the GitHub Action will run molecule test:

on: push

jobs:
  molecule:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          path: "${{ github.repository }}"
      - name: Molecule
        uses: monolithprojects/[email protected]

Ansible-playbook arguments

In this case the GitHub Action will run molecule converge -s special_scenario -- --tags foo,bar --extra_vars "my_var=true":

on: push

jobs:
  molecule:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          path: "${{ github.repository }}"
      - name: Molecule
        uses: monolithprojects/[email protected]
        with:
          molecule_command: converge
          scenario: special_scenario
          converge_extra_args: --tags foo,bar --extra_vars "my_var=true"

Matrix for used image and tag

on: push

jobs:
  molecule:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        config:
          - os: "centos8"
            tag: "latest"
          - os: "ubuntu20"
            tag: "latest"
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          path: "${{ github.repository }}"
      - name: Molecule
        uses: MonolithProjects/[email protected]
        with:
          os: ${{ matrix.config.os }}
          tag: ${{ matrix.config.tag }}
