wip: add archlinux test-scenario as platform

[stefangweichinger]

new draft for getting the testing of arch linux into the default scenario

Tests OK locally here, I assume gh-actions to fail at first (workflow might need adjustments)

[stefangweichinger]

I don't know yet how to target that platform in the tests now ...

Locally I can do a molecule test --platform-name rclone-archlinux now successfully (which is nice IMO)

Take a look at this link
We can use MOLECULE_PLATFORM_NAME env variable to pass name of the platform.

Or here we can override command with command: "test --platform rclone-archlinux".

I think env variable one would be nicer, what do you think?

I think this comment can be resolved here.

I agree .. might try that before leaving house for the weekend ... thanks for the pointer

[gamezftw]

I don't understand why this step is passing without updating cache here and failing for me locally.... Do you think we should still add it?

[stefangweichinger]

looks good! @hkcomori pls check if that archlinux testing is ok in the gh actions now.

[gamezftw]

We should be able to remove this since it is configured in platform.

[stefangweichinger]

correct, that was just some random try yesterday

[stefangweichinger]

while we're at it: I think galaxy_release.yml in the workflows could be removed also. Was a try back then, the task is done within molecule.yml. Agree?

[hkcomori]

I rebase #162 to #164, the gh action is successful in #162.

[stefangweichinger]

looks good to me. pls let's wait a bit before merging, I 'd like to review things once again on monday or so. ok?
#164 and the changes to one scenario only, with 2 platforms, looks like a good solution to me.
Now we have to only maintain one molecule-scenario. Agree?

[hkcomori]

Yes, I agree.
In my opinion, one molecule-scenario is best unless there is a very special reason.

[stefangweichinger]

Yes, I agree. In my opinion, one molecule-scenario is best unless there is a very special reason.

Yes. I noticed that the docker image the archlinux tests use is a bit old, is that true? Does it matter?

I think I might merge #164 right now before leaving for today. #162 maybe tomorrow. Just being cautious.
