I am trying to wrap my head around the ansible native inventory in molecule.
Currently I am developing a new ansible role and wanted to use the results as template for roles that currently are still in pre-native setup.
So far I managed to translate the podman ansible native instructions over to docker and have everything working so far.
Problem
Is molecule login with docker containers and ansible native inventory (currently) not possible?
molecule login prints the following error message:
ERROR Unable to determine connection details for instance 'container-ubuntu2604': missing 'address'.
For ansible-native scenarios, molecule login needs either an inventory entry for this host with ansible_host/ansible_user/etc. set (resolved via the same --inventory sources ansible-playbook uses), or your create playbook can write this instance's connection details to instance_config.yml (the {{ molecule_instance_config }} path).
As far as I understand it, I need to write the instance_config to tell molecule how to connect to the container.
Unfortunately everything I can find to this seems to use a ssh connection.
The only thing I was able to find was the pre-native login_cmd_template: "docker exec -ti {instance} bash"
Versions:
$ molecule --version
molecule 26.8.0 using python 3.12
ansible:2.21.3
