Actual Behaviour (Bug report only)

When executing the molecule verify, the following error message is shown:

    ==================================== ERRORS ====================================
    ____________________ ERROR collecting tests/test_default.py ____________________
    tests/test_default.py:6: in <module>
        os.environ['MOLECULE_INVENTORY_FILE']).get_hosts('all')

        self.variable_manager = ansible.vars.VariableManager()
    E   AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VariableManager'

This wasn't happening with Molecule 2.0.4. I'm not sure if I should create an issue here or with testinfra, so you won! :-)

Looks like an issue with Ansible 2.4 and version of ansible-lint you're using. See #957.

[dj-wasabi]

Yes, you are right. I downgraded Ansible back to 2.3.20 and it works again!
Thank you!

[retr0h]

@dj-wasabi I also believe if you upgrade to a newer version of ansible-lint with Ansible 2.4 you will be ok.

[dj-wasabi]

Ok, thank you. Will check that too!

[alexppg]

It doesn't work, I just test it.

[jgeusebroek]

Latest ansible-lint also fails.

Upgrading to testinfra 1.7.1 resolved this for me. See: https://github.com/philpep/testinfra/issues/249

Molecule 2.4 released to pypi which supports Ansible 2.4.
