Hi

To fast forward running integratino tests on outstanding PRs, I created  
a simple integration test setup to run tests on any PR by giving a few  
parameters.

I started to run integration tests on Debian related distros (Debian7+8,  
Ubuntu12-16.04). Later I'll extend the test runs to CentOS 6+7.

The test setup playbook provisions the VMs as workers (one per distro)  
on the Exoscale public cloud running a playbook on jenkins and run the  
tests on these workers. A complete test run on all distributions in  
parallel takes about 16 min.

The results and logs can be viewed on  
[https://build.ngine.ch/view/ansible.test.pipeline/](https://build.ngine.ch/view/ansible.test.pipeline/)

The setup playbook can be found here  
[https://github.com/resmo/test-ansible](https://github.com/resmo/test-ansible) and could easily adapted to any  
other cloud (digital ocean, ec2). It creates the VM and installs the  
dependencies on these VMs and finally creating scripts on jenkins, one  
per worker, from a template. These scripts are executed as separate jobs  
to get proper logs out of the test run.

Currently only tests on ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 passes. An issue on  
Debian 7 related to git module has been identified.

I am working on making the test run on Debian 8 and Ubuntu 16.04 and the  
current WIP can be found here  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15561](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15561). Any help to make the test  
pass is much appreciated.

I am not sure yet how I will run the tests in the future. I plan to run  
them automated in some kind, but I don't see running them on every PR  
automated, but I have some other ideas. For now I'll run them once per  
day on devel branch.

If you like me to run test on a PR, just let me know by make a comment  
e.g. "@resmo please run tests", for a specific target to run, e.g.  
"@resmo please run tests, target non\_destructive

Any help is welcome.

Regards  
René
