Tests and playbooks can be shared across scenarios.

In this example the tests directory lives in a shared location and molecule.yml points to the shared tests.

verifier:
  name: testinfra
  directory: ../resources/tests/

In this second example the actions create, destroy, converge and prepare are loaded from a shared directory.

provisioner:
  name: ansible
  playbooks:
    create: ../resources/playbooks/create.yml
    destroy: ../resources/playbooks/destroy.yml
    converge: ../resources/playbooks/converge.yml
    prepare: ../resources/playbooks/prepare.yml
