OS / ENVIRONMENT

Archlinux (updated yesterday) but issue already exits since at least 2-3 weeks

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

git clone https://github.com/githubixx/ansible-role-cni
cd ansible-role-cni
ansible-lint .

Desired Behavior

No TypeError exception should be thrown.

Seems it was introduced here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/pull/2115/files#diff-16e01f8d036f46620401c93e06e17287bdac89543238bcaa029fc185ed8d5f42R251

If I change app.runtime.prepare_environment(offline=offline) back to app.runtime.prepare_environment() everything is 🆒 again.

Can you run a pip check and report if it reports success? I am curious which version of ansible-compat are you using? Can you try to upgrade it?

offline switch was added in compat v2.1.0 via ansible/ansible-compat@1d53bc9

Thanks for the hint! I finally got it working. So just in case some comes along: pip check showed this:

terminator 2.1.1 requires dbus-python, which is not installed.
py7zr 0.18.5 requires pybcj, which is not installed.
cephfs-shell 0.0.1 requires cmd2, which is not installed.
ansible-lint 6.2.2 has requirement ansible-compat>=2.0.4, but you have ansible-compat 2.0.2.
ansible-lint 6.2.2 has requirement jsonschema>=4.5.1, but you have jsonschema 3.2.0.
ansible 5.8.0 has requirement ansible-core~=2.12.5, but you have ansible-core 2.13.0.
sphinx-rtd-theme 1.0.0 has requirement docutils<0.18, but you have docutils 0.18.1.
pipx 0.16.4 has requirement argcomplete<2.0,>=1.9.4, but you have argcomplete 2.0.0.

Looks like it was a "mixup" of different versions. While I had python-ansible-compat-2.1.0-1 installed via pacman (system wide) there was an additional version installed in $HOME/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages and that one was 2.0.2. After getting rid of that one it now works 😃
