- Use predictable VM name during the tests (test_vm1, test_vm2 and
test_vm2). This to simplify the teardown of the newly created resource
before the next test.
- Update the documentation to explain the new requirement
- Avoid VM creation with `with_items` when it's not mandatory. This to:
- speed up the test execution, our hypervisors have limited resources
- simplify the teardown
- Remove `create_d1_c1_f0_env.yml`, the test was just testing how Ansible
pass environment variables.
- Correct the name for the `f0` variable (`f1`)
- Fix the DVS tests, the hosts can now reach the dvswitch1 vswitch
- Provision the VM with a poweroff status, this to improve the
idempotency and sleep up the tests
- Avoid the use of `prepare_vmware_tests` to prepare virtual machines
when we just need one machine
- In order to keep the integration with `ansible-test`, we prefer to avoid any
interaction with the Ansible inventory file.
- split up the prepare_vmware_tests/defaults/main.yml in two
configuration files: one for vcsim and one for a real environment
- remove all the access to hostvars
- directly interact with the ESXi to mount/umount the datastore
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/56516
- record the virtual machine folder in the environment configuration
- vmware_guest_move: Use https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55237
Refactoring of the following roles to make use of the new
`prepare_vmware_tests` role.
- `vmware_guest`
- `vmware_guest_boot_facts`
- `vmware_guest_custom_attribute_defs`
- `vmware_guest_customization_facts`
- `vmware_guest_disk_facts`
- `vmware_guest_facts`
- `vmware_guest_find`
- `vmware_guest_move`
- `vmware_guest_powerstate`
- `vmware_guest_snapshot`
- `vmware_guest_snapshot_facts`
- `vmware_guest_tools_wait`
