detection of ansible version is broken

[larsf]

currently you check for the ansible version being greater than 2.0 as follows:

49 if (/1.\d+.\d+/.exec(output)) {

that does no work when the output of ansible-playbook --version is as follows:

ansible-playbook 2.8.4
config file = None
configured module search path = ['/Users/lfredriksen/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.8.4/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook
python version = 3.7.4 (default, Jul 9 2019, 18:13:23) [Clang 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)]

because the regex you have will match on clang-1001.0.46

suggest you agment the regex to something like:
if (/ansible-playbook 1.\d+.\d+/.exec(output)) {

The version check was improved to be more accurate in a recent commit. It will be reflected in the next release.

This issue should be reopened. It is still broken 11 months later.

% /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 2.9.11
  config file = /Users/wrowe/git-repos/examples/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/Users/wrowe/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.9.11/libexec/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jul 21 2020, 10:48:26) [Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)]

% which ansible-lint                       
/usr/local/bin/ansible-lint
% /usr/local/bin/ansible-lint --version
ansible-lint 4.2.0

I am using ansible on macOS installed with brew.
