Syntax issue with "- name" when running main.yml

[lozsta]

I am getting the following issue when I run the ansible-playbook main.yml file.

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.docker.docker_compose_v2'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/home/user/internet-pi/tasks/handlers.yml': line 9, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


- name: Restart internet-monitoring
  ^ here

Seems to think there is an issue with the syntax. I have commented out the bits I don't need from the handlers.yml file but it doesn't work even with it all left as standard.

Have you installed ansible with pip3 install ansible? It sounds like a module is missing from the installation, or your Ansible installation is a little outdated. Try running this command to get the latest versions of the right modules: #575

Hi. thanks for coming back to me. Yes I have installed them per the instructions. I have also tried to --force the reijnstallation but it takes an age to come back from the ansible-galaxy requests.
I'll try it again tomorrow.

Checked ansible install again:

When doing the

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml --force

I get the following which just doesn't move for hours

Process install dependency map
Initial connection to galaxy_server: https://galaxy.ansible.com
Found API version 'v3, pulp-v3, v1' with Galaxy server default (https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/)
Opened /home/user/.ansible/galaxy_token
Calling Galaxy at https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/v3/collections/ansible/posix/

I am going to let it sit and see what happens.

I ran pip3 install ansible and got the same result as @lozsta. Then I tried ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml --force and it ran correctly and now the issue is fixed :)
