Hi, I am trying to run the molecule test. So far have been able to figure out how to solve some problems running it (the contributing guidelines are outdated). So far i needed these two env variables to make it to the verification step: ```shell AWX_TEST_VERSION=21.5.0 OPERATOR_IMAGE=minikube.registry/awx-dev:latest molecule test ``` But i am stuck at the verification where it tries to access AWX on localhost (`awx_test.yml`, task “Launch Demo Job Template”) How is this suppose to work? I am running minikube. tx ---

I don’t have experience running this locally, as it is part of our github workflow action. You can view the molecule related workflow here [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/devel/.github/workflows/ci.yaml#L13](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/devel/.github/workflows/ci.yaml#L13) and maybe glean some information on how to run it locally. Let us know if you are able to get it working, and if extra steps were needed (we can add that to the documentation) AWX Team
