We're using Ansible Tower 3.7.4 which has Ansible 2.9.13, we also have 'theforeman' ansible collection installed.
My test playbook is
---
- name: Test foreman roles
hosts: localhost
become: false
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- add_host:
name: victim.local
group: my_inv
- name: Test foreman roles
hosts: my_inv
become: false
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- theforeman.foreman.host:
server_url: "https://foreman-server.local"
username: "admin"
password: "password"
parameters:
name: "param_name"
value: "param_value"
parameter_type: "string"
delegate_to: localhost
It doesn't matter if I use 'theforeman.foreman.host' or just 'host', both report "ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action"
The locate command shows me the installed path:
locate theforeman | grep host
/var/lib/awx/vendor/inventory_collections/ansible_collections/theforeman/foreman/plugins/modules/foreman_host.py
/var/lib/awx/vendor/inventory_collections/ansible_collections/theforeman/foreman/plugins/modules/foreman_host_power.py
/var/lib/awx/vendor/inventory_collections/ansible_collections/theforeman/foreman/plugins/modules/foreman_hostgroup.py
/var/lib/awx/vendor/inventory_collections/ansible_collections/theforeman/foreman/plugins/modules/katello_host_collection.py
And I've put this in the ansible.cfg file:
grep collections /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
collections_paths = /var/lib/awx/vendor/inventory_collections/ansible_collections
How do I use an already installed collection?
Thanks
ansible_collections
is part of the directory structure underneath collection paths, and should not be included in the search path.
