Desired Behavior

Molecule will honor the include_tasks module relative to the role its ran in.

Questions related to this:
How do I get molecule to follow include_tasks correctly
Pretty frustrated with no support for include_task module from ansible.

Hitting up as many resources as possible after finding no other documentation or issues related to this.

Do I understand correctly that you are calling molecule on the playbook level?

[fourstepper]

I have created a little directory structure like the one you have and include_tasks works fine for me.

The structure:

├── molecule
├── playbook.yml
└── role-test
    ├── tasks
    │   ├── main.yml
    │   └── test.yml

cat role-test/tasks/main.yml
---
# tasks file for role-test
- include_tasks: test.yml

cat role-test/tasks/test.yml
---
- debug:
    msg: hello world!

This also works when the role (role-test) is in the roles/ directory, like so:

├── molecule
├── playbook.yml
└── roles
    └── role-test

Is there something I am missing?

I do this extensively in my roles and have no issues. Can you point to where your code lives? Or create a minimum reproducer?
