Support unified requirements.yml for galaxy collections

[andreas-marschke]

This changeset provides support to find ansible-galaxy collection requirements.yml relative to repo path, in the collections/ directory. This supports inventory organisations where only one requirements.yml is set up for the entire repo.

This partially resolves issues reported here: ansible-semaphore/semaphore#1144

@fiftin Anything stopping this from being code-reviewed/merged?

[fiftin]

Hi @andreas-marschke

I'm here :) I reviewing.

[rwaffen]

is this still a thing? i'm on v2.9.16 and still having the problem that $repository/collections/requirements.yml is ignored :(

[andreas-marschke]

@rwaffen As it hasn't been merged yet, I don't think it's resolved.

[rwaffen]

it's a pitty. but how do you handle this as long this is not merged, is there a workaround for this?

[stefanux]

@rwaffen defining two requirement-files is the way to go and working (in 2.8.90, tested again with latest version 2.9.4): roles/requirements.yml collections/requirements.yml

minimal example for collections:

---
collections:
  - name: community.general

requirements are cached and only refreshed if file(s) are changed: "roles/requirements.yml has no changes. Skip galaxy install process.". if you experience problems see output of semaphore and make another issue since this is a feature issue.

any updates on getting this pr merged? @stefanux can help testing if needed

[steadfasterX]

@fiftin any update on that one?

Any Updates?

[fiftin]

Hi, I'm sorry @andreas-marschke I missed this PR. Looks like I did what you want.

[fiftin]

@steadfasterX , @corincorvus could you please check this in latest release?

[alexbarton]

@fiftin, looks like a unified requirements.yml file in the root directory of the project is not yet supported, right? But this would be really great! :wink:

Do you think you could possibly enhance this by adding the <project_root>/requirements.yml path to the search path, for collections as well as roles?

This would enable us to follow the structure outlined in the Ansible documentation here: Installing roles and collections from the same requirements.yml file

Thanks for all your work! Alex

@alexbarton Yes.

Ansible-lint docs for example:

Valid locations for these files are:

• requirements.yml
• roles/requirements.yml
• collections/requirements.yml
