To run test you must point the environment variable VMWARE_PROVISIONER_TEST_HOST to a host that can be managed with ansible and that has access to an existing vCenter.
Also, to run test you need provide some role variables. One way to provide this information is calling the testing playbook passing an additional inventory using the following environment variables:
ANSIBLE_INVENTORY: path to an inventoryANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE: path to the file containing the vault password required for the previous inventory
The minimum variables required in the testing inventory are (see defaults/main.file for details):
