- I am trying to use Ansible molecule for integration testing. I am running certain checks/test using molecule and it generates html reports. My usecase is to generate report in parsable format (`json` or `yaml`), so I can parse success and failure and publish as custom metrics to my OTEL solution. So my question is how to generate Moleculre report in `json` or `yaml` format?

There isn’t an Ansible or Molecule plugin/filter to generate reports in JSON or YAML directly. However, the [jc](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) tool might help you achieve what you’re looking for.

jc converts the output of many command-line tools into structured JSON, which you can then parse for success/failure for your needs.
