Failed molecule tests in pipeline; no issues locally

[pleegor]

I am setting up a pipeline to test ansible roles with molecule. When I run molecule test locally I see no issues. However, when I run the same in my Buildkite pipeline I see the following an error:

[2022-11-03T17:07:07Z] ERROR! the role 'ansible_roles_snmp' was not found in /workdir/molecule/default/roles:/root/.cache/ansible-compat/2a3fed/roles:/root/.cache/molecule/workdir/default/roles:/:/root/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/workdir/molecule/default

[2022-11-03T17:07:07Z] The error appears to be in '/workdir/molecule/default/converge.yml': line 18, column 15, but may
[2022-11-03T17:07:07Z] be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

[2022-11-03T17:07:07Z] The offending line appears to be:

My setup is docker:stable-dind container pulled on Buildkite worker. That container then pulls the latest geerlingguy/docker-ubuntu2004-ansible:latest image. I can clearly see that role's code is present inside of my dind container:

Any thoughts or ideas what could cause that?

Am I right to think that the contents of workdir is the missing ansible_roles_snmp?

I think you need to have the role in a directory with the same name as the role. If you look at your local setup is the role directory named ansible_roles_snmp rather than workdir?

If this is not the case the role needs to be found on one of the paths listed on line 1 of the first log message.

Yup that was exactly the case! Thank you :)
