increase verbosity to find line number

[jsikarin]

So I'm trying to use molecule to test the build of a RHEL 8 AMI

In order to accomplish this task I am trying to retrofit the code the previous worked to build a RHEL 7 AMI

The current problem I'm having is that when I try to run the molecule script it complains that the 'name' variable is unexpected.

`WARNING The scenario config file ('/home/joe/Programming/redacted-base-ami-rhel8/ansible/roles/redacted_base.tests/molecule/default/molecule.yml') has been modified since the scenario was created. If recent changes are important, reset the scenario with 'molecule destroy' to clean up created items or 'molecule reset' to clear current configuration.
DEBUG Validating schema /home/joe/Programming/redacted-base-ami-rhel8/ansible/roles/redacted_base.tests/molecule/default/molecule.yml.
CRITICAL Failed to validate /home/joe/Programming/redacted-base-ami-rhel8/ansible/roles/redacted_base.tests/molecule/default/molecule.yml

["Additional properties are not allowed ('name' was unexpected)"]
`

What boggles my mind is that the molecule output doesn't display any line number for the 'name' variable.

Is there a way to up the verbosity and debugging of molecule so that I get more output such as the line number?

Here are a list of things that I have tried so far

1. using 'molecule --debug'
2. using 'export ANSIBLE_DEBUG=true'
3. using 'export ANSIBLE_VERBOSITY=4'
4. adding the following to different playbooks
   [defaults]
   enable_task_debugger = True
5. adding the following to different playbooks
   debugger: on_failed

Any ideas of what I can try are appreciated.

Issue is coming from JSON schema validation. You can disable it by commenting line 461 in src/molecule/config.py file like so:

        if errors:
            msg = f"Failed to validate {self.molecule_file}\n\n{errors}"
            # util.sysexit_with_message(msg)

This has to be done in your local molecule installation.

This is an issue in molecule from my POV, it has rigid JSON schema that does not allow any unexpected parameters.

You can try disabling JSON schema check as it is easily reversible.

Basically everything that is not mentioned in the schema
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible-community/molecule/main/src/molecule/data/molecule.json
will cause error when validating.

I think I found the json schema you are talking about and I will try disabling json schema validation.
However is there a way to determine which line number in the json schema this error is coming from?

you can try installing VS Code, and ansible extension.
It highlights schema errors directly in the editor. This is the only way I know.
