Installing collections for SCT "manual" project

Get Help

I have been trying to create a manual source control type project but need to install some collections along side it.

I have the mount created and is being mounted into my pods.
I created the sub project and i can see my playbooks.

I need to install some collections to support my plays. I’ve installed them manually under the collections\ansible_collections but my play isn’t seeing them:

Error seen:

ERROR! couldn’t resolve module/action ‘community.general.mail’. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in ‘/runner/project/roles/gather_facts/tasks/main.yml’: line 96, column 11, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

    - name: Email error report - other # noqa: run-once\[task\]

      ^ here

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I shouldn’t have given up so soon.

I needed to update my ansible.cfg

[defaults]

Keep any paths that there and append this path after a colon

roles_path = /runner/project/roles
collections_path = /runner/project/collections
