Check mode for a tasks in converge.yml in molecule

[Kritika-Bhateja-03]

I have written a role and proceeding with testing it using molecule.
I want to run my converge.yml in check mode. I tried below options but not working -

1. scenario:
   name: default
   test_sequence:

   • dependency
   • lint
   • destroy
   • syntax
   • create
   • converge
   • check
     Passed "check" in test sequence but didnt work out for me.

2. provisioner:
   name: ansible
   config_options:
   defaults:
   check_mode: true
   This also dint work for me.

If anyone could suggest way out for this.

Since I've run into this page on my quest to figure out the same thing, here is what I figured out... Putting the following lines in molecule.yml will do the trick:

provisioner:
  name: ansible
  options:
    check: true

This is documented in the molecule documentation, but it is not necessarily obvious - https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/molecule/configuration/#provisioner

The key is the options dict. Anything that you set there will be passed by molecule as an option to ansible-playbook.
