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 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
Additional info:
Yes I'm aware of this since I discovered and reported the issue upstream but it was too late in the 8.8 and 9.2 cycles to get this included for GA so this will likely be cherry picked for the next async release for those release.
