unexpected error when getting available versions of collection... community.general

[ryeleo]

Thanks y'all for this ansible-builder project!

I'm guessing I may have done some something quirky now that I've ended up with the following error as I try to build a pretty simple project: [WARNING]: Skipping Galaxy server https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/. Got an unexpected error when getting available versions of collection....

ℹ I'm actually seen this error for each/both of the following collections (depending on which one I have commented out):

• comminty.general
• junipernetworks.junos

ansible.posix seems to be working great though!

My execution-environment.yml file:

---
version: 3

dependencies:
  galaxy: requirements.yml

additional_build_steps:
  prepend: |
    RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools

My requirements.yml file:

---
collections:
  - name: ansible.posix
  - name: community.general
    version: "7.5.3"  # Quoted to ensure a string (and not a float)
  # - name: junipernetworks.junos
  #   version: "<6"

My full command with output:

I was seeing this on my RHEL7 Jenkins build agent... I'm going to try and see if I can replicate this issue on my local workstation as well.

Tried making a venv with pip install "ansible-builder<=3", still seeing the same behavior...

ℹ🤔 Given all these failures, I'm really hoping this is a simple Docker networking issue on my end (even though it happened on two of my workstations). Hopefully this is going to make sense to me in the morning (otherwise I might try to spin up a new VM somewhere to try this build again with a totally untainted environment). 🤞😅🤞

$ ansible-builder --version
1.2.0

I also updated my "execution-environment.yml" to use version 1:

---
version: 1

dependencies:
  galaxy: requirements.yml

additional_build_steps:
  prepend: |
    RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools

The output using ansible-builder 1.2.0 seems the same as for v3.0.0.

WHOOPS, I am just now realizing that I am using python3.8, and the latest ansible-builder (3.0.0) doesn't support python 3.8. 🤦‍♂️

I will go switch to a newer version of python for my venv and see what happens.

[kurokobo]

@ryeleo Hi, this is due to Ansible being out of date and not being able to support recent changes on the Galaxy side. As your execution-environment.yml if no base image is specified, quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:latest is used by default, which is no longer maintained and can't be work with recent Galaxy. You should explicitly specify base image like this for v3;

images:
  base_image:
    name: ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-minimal:latest

or for v1:

build_arg_defaults:
  EE_BASE_IMAGE: ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-minimal:latest

Here are another helpful examples:

• https://github.com/ansible-community/images/tree/main/execution-environments
• https://github.com/ansible/awx-ee
• https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/tree/main/builder

[ryeleo]

@kurokobo, I am very grateful for your advice! You are correct, this did fix the issue!

I do feel a fool for not having thought to look more into the ansible-builder documentation, which chats about the 'base image', and has a nice 'sample' showing how it can be done.

I just glanced over the "Breaking Changes" in the release notes and assumed that 'it is the same project, I doubt anything I'm using broke.' 👍😅👍

Thanks again!
