Patch release broke working repo.

[greg-hellings]

Summary

Version 6.8.5 broke code which previously was passing with 6.8.4.

Issue Type

• Bug Report

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Github Actions Ubuntu runner

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

See this run of dependabot upgrades that resulted in a broken run.

Desired Behavior

Patch-level changes should not break existing code.

Actual Behavior

Patch release broke existing code with confusing error message. Error message states that requirements.txt does not exist, but it does and has existed.

[sverrehu]

We see the same. Several messages like this:

ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'verify.yml'

for various files and directories that are there. Before each error, there is a warning that was not there in 6.8.4:

[WARNING]: The specified collections path '/root/.cache/ansible-
compat/1809f7/collections' is not part of the configured Ansible collections
paths '/root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections'. The
installed collection won't be picked up in an Ansible run.

ansible-lint 6.8.5 using ansible 2.13.5

This behavior is still present in 6.8.6. See here where the error is still appearing. Now it is complaining about defaults instead of requirements.txt.
