Podman - Usage of "ansible.builtin.getent" not supported on OS X

[jorneilander]

LS,

Since v23.5.0 the usage of "ansible.builtin.getent" has been introduced into create.yml. The known issue with this module is that it's not supported under OS X:

PLAY [Create] ******************************************************************

TASK [Get podman executable path] **********************************************
ok: [localhost]

TASK [Register podman executable path] *****************************************
ok: [localhost]

TASK [Get passwd entries for USER env] *****************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to find required executable \"getent\" in paths: <list>"}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

Reverting to v23.4.1 does work.

Just ran into this issue, thanks @jorneilander for the reverting solution. Looks like the upstream issue has been closed? https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/38339
