Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Igor Raits 2022-12-12 13:51:18 UTC
Description of problem:
When using query() inside the ansible playbook, ansible fails with the error mentioned in subject.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ansible-6.3.0-1.el9.noarch
ansible-core-2.14.0-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
Execute some query() that invokes some 3rd-party module (like netbox.netbox)

ansible localhost -m debug -a "msg={{ query('netbox.netbox.nb_lookup', 'devices', api_endpoint='https://netbox.pcigdc.com', token='…', api_filter='name=cmp0100.na3.pcigdc.com') }}"

Sorry I don't have better reproducer but you may try it with some other collection plugin.

Actual results:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => 
  msg: 'Unexpected failure during module execution: The ''jinja2>=3.0.0'' distribution was not found and is required by ansible-core'

Expected results:
No failure.

Additional info:
[NA1][CHECK][root@bastion01b ansible]# grep -r "jinja2" /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/*/requires.txt
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible_core-2.14.0-py3.9.egg-info/requires.txt:jinja2>=3.0.0

This one is bundled inside Ansible but it is not very well cooperating with pkg_resources it seems.

If you're going to vendor dependencies, please patch them out from `install_requires` to avoid issues like this.
