I do not see any error here. But I do see are a few paths with spaces in them. Can you please post the error output from the molecule run?

Apologies @tadeboro ( posted wrong output.. please review the output again :)
Also abt the errors on the paths I would say it is after I replaced some of the sensitive info in the paths etc

[stiliajohny]

also worth mentioning ..
on my computer it works .. ( 😄 )
on a colleague's, computer is not.. ( which is where the two outputs are coming from )

and we both installed molecule molecule-vagrant same way

[stiliajohny]

@tadeboro any opinions on the issue ? :)

[gil0mendes]

If you are using Ansible from Homebrew, try to use everything via Python venv. That was the fix to me.
