I am using an ansible-local provisioner in Packer, and trying to use the community.general collection, however I cannot get my playbook to see it at all.
The Packer code is:
{
"type": "ansible-local",
"staging_directory": "/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local",
"command": "ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/collections/roles ansible-playbook",
"playbook_file": "{{ user `jenkins_workspace` }}/packer/ansible/playbook.yml",
"playbook_dir": "{{ user `jenkins_workspace` }}/packer/ansible",
"galaxy_command": "ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/collections/roles ansible-galaxy collection",
"galaxy_file": "{{ user `jenkins_workspace` }}/packer/ansible/collections/requirements.yml",
"inventory_groups": "{{user `inventory_groups`}}"
}
The collections seems to install no problem in the correct DIR
amazon-ebs: Executing Ansible Galaxy: cd /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local && ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles ansible-galaxy collection install -r /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/requirements.yml -p /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles
amazon-ebs: |Installing 'community.general:2.0.0' to '/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles/ansible_collections/community/general'
However then Ansible is unable to use it
amazon-ebs: Executing Ansible: cd /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local && ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles ansible-playbook /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/playbook.yml --extra-vars "packer_build_name=amazon-ebs packer_builder_type=amazon-ebs packer_http_addr=ERR_HTTP_ADDR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_BY_BUILDER -o IdentitiesOnly=yes" -c local -i /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/packer-provisioner-ansible-local801906075
amazon-ebs: ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.general.docker_compose'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
The Anisble play in question is
- name: Docker compose build the containers
community.general.docker_compose:
recreate: never
pull: yes
build: yes
state: present
stopped: yes
project_src: "{{ home }}"
Any advice on where I am going wrong with this would be great....
This is because I was using Ansible 2.9 and the feature only came in at 2.10 (that'll teach me to not check the docs version I am reading :D ).
Shame the Ansible error mentions collections being missing if it cant use them...

Hopefully the question might help others in a similar position.
