I'm trying to run molecule converge on a newly-created Molecule role (created by running molecule init role shahradr.srx_config --driver-name docker), but I'm getting the following error when running the converge step:
fatal: [instance]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {},
"changed": false,
"failed_modules": {
"ansible.legacy.setup": {
"ansible_facts": {
"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"
},
"failed": true,
"module_stderr": "",
"module_stdout": "",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
"rc": 0
}
},
"msg": "The following modules failed to execute: ansible.legacy.setup\n"
}
I've tried different container images, but they all give me the same error. The ansible.legacy.setup task seems to be the culprit, judging from the value in msg, but it looks like it was able to find the Python interpreter, the return code is 0, and there are no errors in stderr/stdout. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen anything similar before?
Here are some of the relevant files—let me know what you all think!

I think I might have figured it out—it looks like the issue was caused by my devcontainer configuration. I had enabled both the docker-in-docker and docker-from-docker features at the same time, which resulted in the issue listed above.
If I disable either feature, then the molecule converge command completes successfully, and I don't get the ansible.legacy.setup error detailed in this question.
