📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation defines separate testing paths for Ansible roles, playbook projects, and collections. It adds a complete role testing guide, expands playbook project guidance, updates collection guidance, and changes the MkDocs navigation.

Changes

Molecule testing documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Testing path selection and navigation
docs/getting-started.md, mkdocs.yml
The getting-started page directs readers to role, playbook project, or collection testing guides. The navigation adds labeled links to these pages.
Role testing workflow
docs/getting-started-roles.md
The guide documents prerequisites, Molecule scenario setup, Podman lifecycle playbooks, role convergence, verification, full execution, and debugging.
Playbook project and collection guidance
docs/getting-started-playbooks.md, docs/getting-started-collections.md, .config/dictionary.txt
The playbook guide covers ansible-creator project initialization, generated structure, root-level Molecule scenarios, and the distinction between adjacent collections and collection testing. The collection guide broadens its testing introduction. The dictionary adds devfile in alphabetical order.
