How to solve python 3.12 dependency for ansible devel version in github actions?

Hoeze · August 1, 2025, 1:19pm

Since the latest devel version only supports python>=3.12, and ubuntu-latest only provides python 3.11, my tests are failing now.

How do I solve that issue?

I tried to quick-and-dirty disable testing on devel by commenting the following line:

github.com/Hoeze/ansible-collection-conda

.github/workflows/ansible-test.yml

          # https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix/tree/master/.github/workflows
          
            integration:
              runs-on: ubuntu-latest
          
              name: I (Ⓐ${{ matrix.ansible }}+py${{ matrix.python }})
              strategy:
                fail-fast: false
                matrix:
                  ansible:
                    - devel
                  # - milestone
                  python:
                    - '3.9'
                    - '3.10'
                    - '3.11'
                    - '3.12'
                    - '3.13'
                  include:
                    # Add new versions announced in
                    # https://github.com/ansible-collections/news-for-maintainers in a timely manner,

However, this disabled ALL tests, not only the devel ones.

I did create a PR to fix this in April (Add Python versions for ansible-core 2.16 to 2.19 by felixfontein · Pull Request #96 · ansible-community/ansible-test-gh-action · GitHub), but nothing happened. (CI for the GitHub action seems to be broken as well.)

You could use my fork of the action (GitHub - felixfontein/ansible-test-gh-action: A composite GitHub Action encapsulating the GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows setup necessary for testing Ansible collection repositories on GitHub) where I already fixed this a longer time ago. Please note that I will likely no longer update my fork since I switched all my collections to antsibull-nox and its shared workflow (Running nox in CI - antsibull-nox – Antsibull Nox Helper), but at least for now the fork should fix your problems.
