Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/resources/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.npm

The machine may need to be prepared using molecule/resources/prepare.yml:

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.ca_certificates
    - role: robertdebock.epel

For verification molecule/resources/verify.yml runs after the role has been applied.

---
- name: Verify
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
    - name: install package with npm
      npm:
        name: debug
        global: yes

Also see a full explanation and example on how to use these roles.

Role Variables

These variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for npm

# The npm_registry is mapped in `vars/main.yml` to a usable default,
# you can overwrite it here if required.
npm_registry: "{{ _npm_registry[ansible_distribution] | default(_npm_registry['default']) }}"

Requirements

• Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
• A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the current, previous and next release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:

---
- robertdebock.bootstrap
- robertdebock.ca_certificates
- robertdebock.epel

Context

This role is a part of many compatible roles. Have a look at the documentation of these roles for further information.

Here is an overview of related roles:

This role has been tested on these container images:

container	tags
alpine	all
amazon	2018.03
el	7, 8
debian	buster
fedora	31, 32
ubuntu	focal, bionic, xenial

The minimum version of Ansible required is 2.9, tests have been done to:

• The previous version.
• The current version.
• The development version.

Exceptions

Some variarations of the build matrix do not work. These are the variations and reasons why the build won't work:

variation	reason
debian:testing	The repository 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x bullseye Release' does not have a Release file.

Testing

Unit tests are done on every commit, pull request, release and periodically.

If you find issues, please register them in GitHub

Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:

Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.

To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):

molecule test

# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox

Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images: Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
