docker action plugin moved but synchronize doesn't know that

[SirUli]

SUMMARY

Action plugin synchronize requires an update due to the new path of docker. Currently it fails here when attempting to copy data to docker due to docker having moved from community.general.docker to community.docker.docker.

Looking at the overall source code of this plugin this might need a change of multiple locations (e.g. L63, 173 etc) towards the new location of the module.

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

synchronize

ANSIBLE VERSION

2.10.6

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run a docker container, then run a synchronize task to sync data into this docker container.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Data is synced successfully

ACTUAL RESULTS

fatal: [container]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "synchronize uses rsync to function. rsync needs to connect to the remote host via ssh, docker client or a direct filesystem copy. This remote host is being accessed via community.docker.docker instead so it cannot work."}

I am seeing the same issue and after chatting with @tadeboro on the ansible-molecule irc channel, it was pointed out that the docker elements have now been moved to the community.docker collection, however the synchronize module has not been updated to include this collection and needs community.docker.docker adding.

Just hit the same error with ansible 2.9.27, not sure it was backported

The 2.9 Ansible release only receives security fixes, so this will not be backported. What you can do is install ansible.posix collection and use FQCN in your playbook. This should fix things on 2.9.

Already tried with molecule==3.4.0,molecule-docker==1.1.0
and something like

ansible.posix.synchronize
  src: /tmp/
  dest: /tmp/

But hit this error with ansible

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'ansible.posix.synchronize'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/home/rockandska/Documents/Git/ansible-role-rabbitmq/molecule/cluster/pre_tasks.yml': line 44, column 11, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

Will try to update molecule / molecule-docker
