Sergio Oliveira Campos 8e08868e1a Allow to run tests in Docker
* Adapted tests/test_playbook_runs.py script to allow tests to be
  executed from a docker container.
* Added molecule scenarios to create/destroy test containers and
  respective documentation in tests/README.md.

# Running the tests
## Before starting
In order to run ansible-freeipa tests you will need to have `ansible` and `pytest` installed on your machine. We'll call this local machine `controller`.
You will also need to have a remote host with freeipa server installed and configured. We'll call this remote host `ipaserver`.
Some other requirements:
* The `controller` must be able to connect to `ipaserver` through ssh using keys.
* `ipaserver` must be configured with DNS support. See [ipaserver role](../roles/ipaserver/README.md).
* IPA admin password must be `SomeADMINpassword`.
* Directory Server admin password must be `SomeDMpassword`.
## Running the tests
To run the tests run:
```
IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest
```
If you need to run using a different user you can use `ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER`
environment variable. For example:
```
ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER=root IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest
```
To run a single test use the full path with the following format:
```
IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest tests/test_playbook_runs.py::sudorule::test_sudorule
```
To select which tests to run based on search use the option `-k`. For example:
```
IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest -k dnszone
```
To see the ansible output use the option `--capture=sys`. For example:
```
IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest --capture=sys
```
To see why tests were skipped use `-rs`. For example:
```
IPA_SERVER_HOST=<ipaserver_host_or_ip> pytest -rs
```
For a complete list of options check `pytest --help`.
## Running tests in a docker container
It's also possible to run the tests in a container.
### Creating a container to run the tests
Before setting up a container you will need to install molecule framework:
```
pip install molecule[docker]>=3
```
Now you can start a test container using the following command:
```
molecule create -s centos-8
```
Note: Currently the containers available for running the tests are:
* centos-7
* centos-8
### Running the tests inside the container
To run the tests you will use pytest (works the same as for VMs).
```
RUN_TESTS_IN_DOCKER=1 IPA_SERVER_HOST=centos-8 pytest
```
### Cleaning up after tests
After running the tests you should probably destroy the test container using:
```
molecule destroy -s centos-8
```
See [Running the tests](#running-the-tests) section for more information on available options.
## Upcoming/desired improvements:
* A script to pre-config the complete test environment using virsh.
* A test matrix to run tests against different distros in parallel (probably using tox).
* Allow to connect to `ipaserver` using ssh and password.
