HI All,
I am trying to run ansible-lint on playbook file .Here are error details

(my_env) root@vpx-ajay-u22:~/collections/ansible_collections/dellemc/vplex/docs/playbooks# ansible-lint dellemc_vplex_array_tests.yml
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/root/my_env/bin/ansible-lint”, line 5, in

if ansible_version() >= ansible_version(“2.10.0.dev0”):

return Version(version)

raise InvalidVersion(f"Invalid version: {version!r}")
packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: ‘[core’

Here are details of version used in system:
Python : 3.10
ansible-core : 2.12
ansible-lint : 5.0.0
VM details : Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

I observed that higher version of lint is available , but I avoided using that as it changing ansible-core version to higher version .
Any input/help regarding issue will be helpful.

A good workaround should be to install and use ansible from pipx so that you’ll be able to use/upgrade/install every collections and/or ansible version + python modules you need without impacting other OS packages.

Great doc about that : Installing Ansible — Ansible Community Documentation

EDIT :
Also be careful of your vplex collection version you’re using, I mean, you may have some requirements and/or limitations between your ansible version and you collection, have a look here Ansible Galaxy
