Problems with roles requirements setting

[dderemiah]

I hope this is something that can be simply answered as I cannot find the correct syntax to make it work. I am trying to add persistant roles from specific sources. I want to end up with a requirements file that functionally works like this:

---

# ansible_managed
# semaphore role requirements

roles:
   - name: MYROLE
     src: https://github.com/dderemiah/MYROLE.git
     scm: git
     version: mytag

I tried setting the roles: var like this and it produces bad results:

      persistent_requirements: true
      requirements:
        collections: []
        roles:
          - name: MYROLE
            src: https://github.com/dderemiah/MYROLE.git
            scm: git
            version: mytag

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings @dderemiah

The 'roles' list is a flat list of strings. See: requirements_persistent.yml

You can add the 'scm' and 'version' to the role-string as seen in the Ansible User-Guide.

Example:

persistent_requirements: true
requirements:
  collections: []
  roles:
    - 'git+https://github.com/ansibleguy/sw_semaphore,821cd2f711dbbad67d1d56a2bf1f10681be5a2a5'

Of course - we could refactor the requirements-task to handle the attributes you mentioned.
