description: Run Molecule scenarios to test the bind9 role using the repository's Molecule configuration.
---

Use this skill when asked to test or validate the role with Molecule.

## Scope
- Repository root: /home/alive/Code/ansible-bind9-role
- Scenarios: molecule/default and molecule/bind9-20
- Driver: podman

## Prerequisites
1. Ensure Podman is available and the current user can run it.
2. Ensure Molecule and Ansible are installed in the active Python environment.

## Default scenario (BIND 9.18 LTS)
1. From the repository root, run:
   - molecule test
2. If a faster check is requested, run:
   - molecule converge

## BIND 9.20+ scenario
1. From the repository root, run:
   - molecule test -s bind9-20
2. If a faster check is requested, run:
   - molecule converge -s bind9-20

## Notes
- The scenarios use systemd-enabled containers and require privileged Podman.
- If a scenario fails, capture the error summary and relevant logs before making changes.
