Tried to bump a collection’s meta to minimal `2.13.9` but got `meta-runtime[unsupported-version]: requires_ansible key must be set to a supported version` ([chore: bump ansible version · charlesrocket/essential-collection@dec5782 · GitHub](https://github.com/charlesrocket/essential-collection/actions/runs/7136642778/job/19435578098#step:5:1)). While checking [meta-runtime - Ansible Lint Documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/lint/rules/meta-runtime/) I decided to push `2.15.0` but sanity tests went red with `Warning: : Collection charlesrocket.essential does not support Ansible version` ([fix(git): rename internal variables · charlesrocket/essential-collection@447c204 · GitHub](https://github.com/charlesrocket/essential-collection/actions/runs/7143794063/job/19456057688#step:3:1))

Requiring ansible-core `2.14.0` resolves linter and sanity tests. I see `2.13.x` is gone so this is outdated docs but not sure why I can’t go with the current `2.15.0` [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/cba7c512bb94a2ad36109f20358475ae18c88bc6/src/ansiblelint/rules/meta\_runtime.py#L34](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/blob/cba7c512bb94a2ad36109f20358475ae18c88bc6/src/ansiblelint/rules/meta_runtime.py#L34)

I really hate this rule and I actively disable it for all collections I maintain that use ansible-lint. I don’t see **any** reason why this rule should be enabled by default in ansible-lint. I can only recommend disabling it in `.ansible-lint`.

This is because you’re running the tests with 2.14. [https://github.com/charlesrocket/essential-collection/blob/b3840601a14ff0b0ef33179d61f099c31c572ba7/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L29C1-L32C31](https://github.com/charlesrocket/essential-collection/blob/b3840601a14ff0b0ef33179d61f099c31c572ba7/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L29C1-L32C31) calls `ansible-community/ansible-test-gh-action` without specifying `ansible-core-version`, and the default value is `stable-2.14`.

Ideally you should be running the tests with each major version of Ansible that your collection supports. You can see an example of doing so at [https://github.com/ansible-collections/collection\_template/blob/eb70f93f3663f5847d763e6dec414395eff9b05b/.github/workflows/ansible-test.yml#L62-L111](https://github.com/ansible-collections/collection_template/blob/eb70f93f3663f5847d763e6dec414395eff9b05b/.github/workflows/ansible-test.yml#L62-L111)

Oh I see now, my layout is out of date, thanks. The Default version still should be the current one.
