Description Dimitri Savineau 2023-05-23 18:56:04 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2208781

I am copying this bug because: 



Description of problem:

The ansible-core packages vendors some required dependencies instead of properly packaging them as RPMs. These are installed in the ansible._vendor directory. However, the ansible_test module does not add the vendored modules sys.path like ansible does. Therefore, ansible-test is unable to import some of the dependencies it needs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.2 (Plow)
$ rpm -q ansible-test
ansible-test-2.14.2-4.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Any time ansible-test tries to import a required dependency that RHEL has decided to vendor


Steps to Reproduce:
Here is just one example where ansible-test code fails to import modules

1. Clone a collection such as https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general that has a tests/config.yml
2. Attempt to run an ansible-test command such as `ansible-test units`

Actual results:
FATAL: The "packaging" module is required to parse config: No module named 'packaging

Expected results:
ansible-test should be able to import the packaging module and successfully run the unit tests
