how to use the collection

[thewasta]

Hey there! I'm trying to use the collection but all time it returns this error:

ERROR! the role 'php-versions' was not found in /etc/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible

The error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/node.yml': line 8, column 6, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

   - php
   - role: php-versions
     ^ here

And this is the playbook file

---
- name: Collections
  hosts: all

  collections:
    - geerlingguy.php_roles

  roles:
    - php
    - role: php-versions
      vars:
        php_version: '7.3'

Which is the example configuration. And this the path to collections, to make sure it is installed:

root@DESKTOP-WASBETTER:/etc/ansible# ll collections/ansible_collections/geerlingguy/php_roles/ total 72
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root   512 Dec 28 18:08 ./

Thanks

Can you test if a task like the following works?

- name: Run the PHP Versions role.
  include_role:
    name: geerlingguy.php_roles.php_versions

And also, what version of Ansible are you running?

- role: php-versions -> - role: php_versions (with an underscore versus a hyphen) worked for me.

it took me an hour to understand that there was an error. Right: - role: php_versions
