Hello All,

For a couple of days I’ve been getting the following error in the Ansible sanity tests…

ERROR: plugins/modules/cassandra\_autocompaction.py:0:0: module-invalid-version-added: DOCUMENTATION.version\_added: invalid semantic version ‘2.8’ for dictionary value @ data[‘version\_added’]. Got ‘community.cassandra:2.8’

The value for version\_added in the files is as I expect. In the above case…

> version\_added: 2.8

The string community.cassandra is not in the file at all so I know there’s no parsing issues. Anyone have an idea what’s up here?

Cheers,

R

this is related to [https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/178](https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/178)

Once all deprecation stuff is settled, there'll be an announcement in  
[https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/issues/45](https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/issues/45)

That's a invalid version number for a collection. Collections must use  
semantic versioning.

That's automagically added, so documentation can say which version a  
version\_added refers to (it could come from a doc fragment from another  
collection, or from ansible-base).

Cheers,

Since a semantic version is a string I would assume that this  
needs to be quoted, i.e.:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;version\_added: "2.8"
