Removal from Ansible (Community package requirements: sanity tests)

[gotmax23]

(Note: This issue was filed in a semi-automated fashion. Let me know if you see errors in this issue.)

As per the Ansible community package inclusion requirements, collections must pass ansible-test sanity tests. Version 1.2.2 of cyberark.conjur, corresponding to the v1.2.2 tag in this repo, fails one or more of the required sanity tests.

Please see the errors below and address them. If these issues aren't addressed within a reasonable time period, the collection may be subject to removal from Ansible.

Thank you for your efforts and for being part of the Ansible package! We appreciate it.

Sanity tests

The following tests were run using ansible-test version 2.16.1:

• ansible-doc
• compile
• validate-modules
• yamllint

Note that this is only a subset of the required sanity tests. Please make sure you run them in all in your CI.

💡 NOTE:

Check the [explain] links below for more information about each test and how to fix failures.
See Sanity Tests: Ignores in the dev guide if, after reading the test-specific documentation, you still believe an error is a false positive.

Please take a look at the outstanding sanity test errors. https://github.com/ansible-community/package-test-results/blob/main/rendered/10.3.0/cyberark.pas.md contains the results for the latest version of ansible. Note that, if these issues aren't acknowledged within a reasonable time period, the collection may be subject to removal from Ansible.

Please also make sure that you are running the required CI tests in this repository as explained in https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_requirements.html#ci-testing. It looks like https://github.com/cyberark/ansible-conjur-collection/blob/main/.github/workflows/ansible-test.yml does not test against the latest version of ansible-core.

I updated the issue title accordingly

@gotmax23 Apologies for the lack of response on this. It has now been brought to my attention and I will get it resolved ASAP.

[gotmax23]

Thank you!

[jtuttle]

@gotmax23 Do you have a rough date for when we would actually be facing removal? We're working on it, but having a timeline would help me to communicate to my manager the urgency of this work in the face of competing priorities. Thanks!

[jtuttle]

@gotmax23 We have pushed a new release that should resolve the compatibility issues. Please let me know if this is sorted. Thanks.

[gotmax23]

Thank you for fixing the issue! I will verify after today's Ansible community package releases come out.

[jtuttle]

@gotmax23 Everything look okay?

[gotmax23]

HI @jtuttle. Thanks for your quick response, and I apologize for the delay on my end.

https://github.com/ansible-community/package-test-results/blob/main/rendered/11.0.0b1/cyberark.conjur.md are the results for 1.3.1. Some issues still remain.

Regarding the current test failures: I'm not sure what those yaml files are for, but if they're not used by the Ansible code, you can probably ignore those errors (see Sanity Tests: Ignores). version-added-must-be-major-or-minor should be addressed also. If that module was legitimately added in a patch release in violation of semver (please do adhere to semver in the future), that can also be added as an ignore.

[gotmax23]

#201 (comment) also should be addressed. Thanks

[gotmax23]

Hi, just circling back here. Have you been able to take a look at the sanity test failures?

[jtuttle]

Hey @gotmax23, sorry for the delay on this. I have put someone on it who I am confident can wrap things up in the next few weeks so shouldn't be much longer.
