systemd_networkd ansible role | config_template resolution errors

[senorsmile]

Trying to use the role at https://github.com/openstack/ansible-role-systemd_networkd. Per the instructions, I have installed the https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-plugins as roles/plugins and ensured that ANSIBLE_FILTER_PLUGINS, ANSIBLE_ACTION_PLUGINS, and ANSIBLE_LIBRARY are set to the appropriate locations.

The error I see when trying to run is:

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'openstack.config_template.config_template'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

Doing a quick search in the plugins/ folder yields

$ grep -irn config_template
releasenotes/notes/config-template-move-a0f08aff8e54f62f.yaml:4: The ``config_template`` action module has now been moved into its own git

So, apparently the instructions aren't up to date on how to use this role? Are the dependencies too deep and complicated?

Hi

config_template has been used as collection on the master branch. Now it's not required to set ANSIBLE_FILTER_PLUGINS and ANSIBLE_ACTION_PLUGINS, but just install https://opendev.org/openstack/ansible-config_template using ansible-galaxy from git.

Currently we haven't published module in galaxy, so either local installation or from git is needed.

You can check example of how we defined it in requirements.yml that is being passed to ansible-galaxy:
https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-ansible/src/branch/master/ansible-collection-requirements.yml#L5-L7

You can then run ansible-galaxy collection install -r ansible-collection-requirements.yml.

Yes, we should update doc to mention how to install required module.

    Update documentation on role requirements

    In README file we're refferencing plugins repo for installing
    config_template from it. However, we're using module from it's
    collection.
    We're updating documentation along with renaming a-r-r to more common
    requirements.yml and adjusting rc file
    to drop not required overrides from there.
