To elaborate a bit on my use case, I'm trying to run integration tests on playbooks - that is, test the playbooks in various scenarios. For each test, I want to spin up a docker container (or several) and treat them as the hosts against which the playbook is being tested. And then I'd like to delete the docker containers.
Aside from the problem of parameterizing the creation of a "host", I'm wondering how to delete the containers if the test fails. There doesn't seem to be any way to recover from a playbook include failing. It has to be a playbook include because it's a playbook being tested, and I'd like to pass it the inventory that's been created. But then there's no way on a play include to add handlers or failed_when or register or any of the other goodies that are available for tasks. The only thing I could think of is to have something write out the inventory (how?) and feed it to a command task that runs the target playbook. Or is this just a fundamental mismatch with the Ansible Way and I should be considering some other approach entirely? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
