This repo contains code and reproduction steps for a bug with ansible-compat 25.1.0 in VS Code using the Ansible plugin.

Intended to be used as a minimal test case for this issue in the ansible-compat repo: ansible/ansible-compat#454

Run playbook

To run the playbook, cd into the root of this project (same level as .vscode) and run ansible-playbook --inventory ansible/inventory.ini ansible/test_playbook.yaml

Reproduce ansible-compat 25.1.0 VS Code problem

2. Open .vscode/ansible-compat-lint-vscode-bug.code-workspace
3. Install the workspace recommended Ansible plugin (version v25.1.0)
4. Open the ansible/test_playbook.yaml file and an error message should popup
5. Install ansible-compat 24.10.0, follow steps 1-4, error message doesn't pop up and the file should find the following lint error:
