can_i checks still not working

SUMMARY

I originally reported this last year here: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.kubernetes/issues/234 Some work was done to address it - PR is here: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.kubernetes/pull/237 However, I still do not see it work; I'm getting the same error as before.

EXPECTED RESULTS

See the PR I linked above that shows what is now expected.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Same error as before.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I am going to show you the output of four commands I run - the first shows you my ansible version, the second shows you my collection versions from ansible-galaxy output, the third shows you the content of my test script with the replication ansible playbook, the fourth shows you the ansible run showing the error I get.

$ ansible --version

And, for the record, I can create cluster roles:

$ kubectl auth can-i create clusterroles --all-namespaces
yes
