Summary

When running the infra.ah_configuration.repository role the execution fails with invalid arguments. It's saying ah_repositories is invalid but the documentation says that's what it should be. I did see https://github.com/ansible/galaxy_collection/blob/e5eb1e99fe323417a88d16ed8083a77a4a89db4e/roles/repository/meta/argument_specs.yml#L3 does not include ah_repositories.

OS / ENVIRONMENT

RHEL 8 with AAP 2.4

Desired Behavior

The playbook should execute the role correctly.

Actual Behavior

  "msg": "Validation of arguments failed:\nah_repositories. Supported parameters include: ah_configuration_async_dir, ah_configuration_repository_secure_logging, ah_configuration_secure_logging, ah_host, ah_password, ah_path_prefix, ah_repository_certified, ah_repository_community, ah_request_timeout, ah_token, ah_username, ah_validate_certs, proxy_password, proxy_url, proxy_username.",

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  roles:
    - role: infra.ah_configuration.repository
      ah_repository_community:
        url: https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/
        requirements_file: '{{ lookup("ansible.builtin.file", "files/requirements.yaml") }}'

As per the changelog, there was a breaking change in v2.0.0 of this collection where the repository role was changed to accept ah_repositories as a list:

breaking_changes:
      - Update collection repository roles to use allow for lists (you now need to
        have a name for each repo and update the variable name) as this has been expanded
        in the newer version of the product.

If you are using AAP2.4 it is recommended to begin using the collection_remote modules and roles instead.

That said, I will create a new issue to tidy up the arg_spec for the role, however the readme is already correct.

It also looks like you have a syntax error with your example as the variable should be under a vars option under the role.
