verify failed with 'inspec_download_url' is undefined

[corbesero]

The verify step fails.

The relevant failure text is vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
TASK [Download Inspec] *********************************************************
fatal: [instance]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'inspec_download_url' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in '/home/ansible/ansible-repo/roles/sgc_base/molecule/xyzzy/verify.yml': line 44, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Download Inspec\n ^ here\n"}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

From the uploaded run output, no platform is picked, so that variable never gets set.

I think I found the problem.
When molecule init creates the mulecule.yml file, it set sthe docker image to docker.io/pycontribs/centos:8, but the verify.yml never checks to see if it connecting to a centos 8. I changed the centos image to 7 and it worked.

So, the problem is a missing check in verify.yml.
