Rework CI for merged roles

[D3DeFi]

SUMMARY

Current candidate - Github Actions from previous Travis CI. Example of working CI with Actions:
https://github.com/ericsysmin/ansible-collection-system/tree/master/.github/workflows

More information in:

• comment1
• comment2

Dependent on the completion of #20.

We should look at how the whole CI operates after this is solved. There is probably no need to run tests for plugins when a change to role occurs.

Oh that is great :) Yes, lets use that.

I've assigned this task to @ericsysmin

[ericsysmin]

While doing the rework, I ran into this, so we'll likely need to fix it
ericsysmin#1

[ericsysmin]

So, we have some problems with dependencies on Ansible Molecule that cause any role with dependencies to fail. We may need to merge with existing roles and stick with lint tests for now until Molecule has a new release.

@ericsysmin can I do something to help with this? I am probably a bit lost.

Is this some known bug when Molecule is testing a role residing in collection with external dependencies like geerlingguy.apache for example?

[ericsysmin]

Yes, that's the issue I ran into. So testing this is going to be hard until the issue is fixed on molecule. I had a PR for one of the issues but not enough people hit the other one I ran into, and there were a ton of new PR's being made so I wasn't sure if someone caught and fixed this one. I don't know how to fix this one, but did fix installing collections themselves. But geerlingguy.apache wasn't in a collection yet.

Is it possible we schedule a meeting for like 30 minutes so we can discuss some items?

We can give it a shot, hit me up on [email protected] so we can arrange details :)

I'm sorry for leaving everything to you two. I appreciate it.

[ericsysmin]

@sky-joker the meeting was for everyone so we can also be on the same page. I was going to leave it to D3Defi to schedule as this is both of your repo. I'm just contributing.
