## [Example Playbook](#example-playbook)
This example is taken from [`molecule/default/converge.yml`](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-role-go/blob/master/molecule/default/converge.yml) and is tested on each push, pull request and release.
```yaml
---
- name: Converge
become: true
gather_facts: true
hosts: all
pre_tasks:
- name: Update apt cache.
ansible.builtin.apt:
update_cache: "true"
cache_valid_time: "600"
changed_when: false
when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'
roles:
- role: buluma.go
tasks:
- name: Verify that Go is installed and available in the $PATH.
ansible.builtin.command: go version
changed_when: false
environment:
PATH: /usr/local/go/bin:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}
```
The machine needs to be prepared. In CI this is done using [`molecule/default/prepare.yml`](https://github.com/buluma/ansible-role-go/blob/master/molecule/default/prepare.yml):
```yaml
---
- name: Prepare
become: true
gather_facts: false
hosts: all
roles:
- role: buluma.bootstrap
- role: buluma.core_dependencies
- role: buluma.buildtools
- role: buluma.ca_certificates
```
