# Sample for create molecule test instance on VMware
This is a sample to create a test instance of [molecule](https://molecule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) on VMware environment.
Samples for Linux and Windows are prepared.
## How to create molecule test instance on VMware environment
### Requirements
To create a test instance required following.
* vCenter Server
* template vm
* template vm snapshot
The reason required a snapshot is because test instances are created with a linked clone.
### Run the sample
The sample this repository provides Linux (linux_ping) and Windows (win_ping) roles.
To run the sample, change the variable in the molecule.yml file.
| os | molecule.yml path |
|---------|------------------------------------------------|
| linux | roles/linux_ping/molecule/default/molecule.yml |
| windows | roles/win_ping/molecule/default/molecule.yml |
#### Variables for Linux
```yaml
---
dependency:
name: galaxy
driver:
name: delegated
hostname: vCenter IP or hostname # Please change here to vCenter IP or hostname.
username: [email protected] # Please change here to vCenter login username.
password: password # Please change here to vCenter login user password.
validate_certs: false
datacenter: datacenter name # Please change here to data center name to use
esxi_hostname: esxi hostname # Please change here to esxi hostname to use
folder: folder path(ex: /vm) # Please change here to folder path to save the linked clone.
vm_username: username for guest os # Please change here to user name created in the template.(ex: root)
vm_password: password for guest os # Please change here to user password in the template.
options:
ansible_connection_options:
connection: ssh
lint:
name: yamllint
platforms: # Define an instance to use for role test.
- name: instance # Please change here to instance name for test.
template: template name # Please change here to template name use in the linked clone.

datastore: datastore name # Please change here to datastore name to use.
provisioner:
name: ansible
log: true
verifier:
name: testinfra
lint:
name: flake8
```
#### Variables for Windows
```yaml
---
dependency:
name: galaxy
driver:
name: delegated
hostname: vCenter IP or hostname # Please change here to vCenter IP or hostname.
username: [email protected] # Please change here to vCenter login username.

datastore: datastore name # Please change here to datastore name to use.
provisioner:
name: ansible
lint:
name: ansible-lint
log: true
verifier:
name: testinfra
lint:
name: flake8
```
#### When creating multiple test instances
Define multiple platforms as in the following example.
```yaml
(snip)
platforms:
- name: instance1
template: template name
snapshot_src: snapshot for template
memory_mb: 2048
cpus: 2
network: VM Network
datastore: datastore name
- name: instance2
template: template name
snapshot_src: snapshot for template
memory_mb: 2048
cpus: 2
network: VM Network
datastore: datastore name
(snip)
```
#### Demo
The following is demos when the sample is run.
**Linux**

**Windows**

### How to use it for testing other roles
Test with other roles is easy.
Copy each molecule directory to the role to be test.
It is `roles/linux_ping/molecule/` for Linux and `roles/win_ping/molecule` for Windows.
After copying the directory, change the variable file and run the `molecule test` command.
