test(molecule): cover the role with a molecule scenario
The role changed a lot and none of it was verified against a real system so far. The scenario starts one container per supported distribution family, applies the role and asserts afterwards that the users and groups exist as declared, that the managed files carry the documented mode, owner and content, that a user without optional settings does not receive any of the optional files and that a user declared as absent is gone again. The idempotence step is the actual reason for the scenario. The deterministic password salt and the btrfs device lookup were changed to stop reporting a change on every run, and only a second converge proves that. A btrfs home is not covered, because a container has no btrfs filesystem to create a subvolume on. The ssh key pair the scenario feeds into the role is generated during create and removed again during destroy, so no private key material ends up in the repository. The generated files are ignored for the case that a destroy never runs. Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>

The role manages users, groups and their home directories, so it has to be executed with `become: true`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tests
|
||||
|
||||
The role is tested with [Molecule](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/molecule/). The scenario starts one docker
|
||||
container per supported distribution family, applies the role, asserts that a second run reports no change and finally
|
||||
verifies the created users and groups, the permissions and the content of the managed files and that a user declared
|
||||
as `absent` is gone again. A btrfs home is not covered, because a container has no btrfs filesystem to create a
|
||||
subvolume on.
|
||||
|
||||
The ssh key pair the scenario feeds into the role is generated during `molecule create` and removed again during
|
||||
`molecule destroy`, so no private key is kept in the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Molecule ships only its `default` driver, therefore `docker` is required besides molecule itself. The collections are
|
||||
declared in `molecule/default/collections.yml` and installed by molecule.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install molecule docker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The complete sequence creates the containers, tests them and removes them afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
molecule test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
While working on the role the containers are better kept alive.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# create the containers and apply the role
|
||||
molecule converge
|
||||
|
||||
# run the assertions of molecule/default/verify.yml against the running containers
|
||||
molecule verify
|
||||
|
||||
# open a shell in one of the containers
|
||||
molecule login --host unix-users-debian
|
||||
|
||||
# remove the containers
|
||||
molecule destroy
|
||||
```
