#### Console dice roller tool for CI pass/fail simulation

A simple tool to randomly pass or fail. It is useful as a command or
module in a CI job to simulate, debug or build out CI pipelines.

While this is maintained by the Ubuntu OpenStack Engineering Team, it
is not specific to OpenStack use cases. Any CI pipeline can use
ci-dice as a way to simulate, confirm and/or debug the pipeline's
behaviour.

* ci-dice - roll the dice
* ci-dice.py - same as just `ci-dice`
* ci-dice.sh - legacy bash version

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install ci-dice

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
