[Bug]: Molecule tests are not working without GitHub pipelines

Please try to fill out as much of the information below as you can. Thank you!

• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.

Which version contains the bug?

No response

Describe the bug

Molecule tests have a reference to environment variables. Example

However, the environments are only defined within the GitHub workflow. If you try to run local molecule tests (molecule test -s <scenario>), they fail due to the missing environments.
So you will always have to run the whole pipeline local.

How to recreate the bug?

Did you try to set the environment variables locally?

export MYENVIRONMENTVARIABLE=myvalue

I guess, we could set some automatically, but I think it helps to have some control about some parts of the checks.

If that fixes your problem, we need to put it into the documentation. It shouldn't be misleading.

I know. But I expected all molecule tests should work out of the box.

As far as I know, elasticsearch 7 will rotate out of the collection soon. After that, we could adjust the variables in the scenarios to work with 8.
