In this post, I will explain how to enable and manage inventory on the molecule.
This is could be interesting when you have to parse some inventory within the role.
1) Edit the file: molecule/default/playbook.yml
---
- name: Converge
hosts: all
roles:
- role: my_role
2) Add the inventory configuration into the file molecule/default/molecule.yml
