Is 'molecule-plugins[docker]' replacing 'molecule[docker]'?

[LorenzoBettini]

The README says something about molecule-azure that should be replaced by molecule-plugins[azure]. Now I seem to understand that this repository also includes the docker plugin. Does that mean that instead of molecule[docker] we should install molecule-plugins[docker]?

Thanks in advance

The azure part of the README is only an example to show that the molecule-plugin driver dependencies are not installed by default. So, to install molecule, the docker driver and its dependencies:

pip3 install molecule molecule-plugins molecule-plugins[docker]

@apatard

Isn't enough to install molecule-plugins[docker]? This should imply molecule-plugins, shouldn't it?

Moreover, molecule[docker] should be uninstalled first, shouldn't it?

[apatard]

yes, installing molecule-plugins[docker] should be enough. Answered too quickly.

I've not mentioned removing molecule-docker because if you're installing from scratch, it's not needed. In case of existing setup you're right, molecule-docker has to be removed.

@LorenzoBettini were you able to successfully enable molecule with docker... if so what is your current setup??

python version
ansible version
molecule-plugin[docker] version
OS ?

I am having kinda of a similar concern was able to enable ansible, molecule and docker but with python3.9 but molecule login was failing and destroy the config.. Now I am trying to have the same setup but with python3.11 but every time I install molecule-plugin[docker], molecule breaks and so ansible.

@LorenzoBettini do you think this bug can be closed ?
@caripepo if you still have troubles, I think it would be better to open a new bug report with more details of what's failing for you.

[LorenzoBettini]

@apatard to be honest I still haven't got a chance to try the new molecule-plugins[docker]: I'm still using molecule[docker].

[LorenzoBettini]

Is molecule[docker] completely removed?
All my playbooks started to fail and I seem to understand that docker is not found.
So we must definitely switch to molecule-plugins[docker] for good?
