Hi,

Has anyone written Bazel definitions for Ansible roles, Molecule tests, and such?

I would like within our Bazel framework to be able to run a molecule test by doing something along the lines of this:

bazel test //ansible:tests

And have it perform the Molecule tests for the pieces of our Ansible infrastructure that have changed since the last run.

Similarly, we could run a playbook using something like this:

bazel run //ansible/role:blah

Is this possible? Has anyone done this already? Should I be asking somewhere else?

Thanks for your help!

Corey
