'with_community.general.filetree' is not a valid attribute for a Task

SUMMARY

ansible-lint is complaining about attribute with_community.general.filetree not being valid. However, it's in Ansible official documentation. cf examples.

Am I missing something?

I was able to reproduce this when deleting the community.general collection from all directories within Ansible's collections_path. Can you check to see if the collection is installed, and that the collections_path configuration is set appropriately to find the collection?

Is the linter dependent on the specific ansible that is installed in the system? (we run the linter in CI, which doesn't install ansible)

[cavcrosby]

@leonardgerardatomicmachinescom I believe ansible-lint will work with versions of ansible/ ansible-core that meet the version constraint ansible-core>=2.13.0. I'm basing this on the "requirements.txt" file used to specify runtime dependencies, as shown below.

ansible-lint/.config/requirements.in
