Need help in passing the data produced by the playbook to the verifier.

[shreekanthts]

Our team recently started using molecule for the automation of roles (and playbook to run the roles).

In one of the task a resource gets created with a unique and random instanceId. The result contains the resource with its instanceId. Is there any way in which the verifier can access this data produced during the playbook run.

its probably not the smoothest way, but in converge.yml you can dump that value to a file (i.e. an ansible variable file). then from verify.yml you can include that vars file

Setup fact caching and use set_fact to persist data between runs. There is nothing specific to molecule about that, each stage is another Ansible playbook call.
