Role import errors with "dependencies must be a list of strings"

Hey, so I’m having this issue where the role import is currently complaining about my list of dependencies (in my meta/main.yml as that’s the only place I even have them declared).

What I’m doing there should work according to Ansible docs:

Code:

dependencies:
  - role: geerlingguy.nodejs
    tags: ["nodejs"]
    vars:
      nodejs_version: "{{ wireguard_easy_nodejs_version }}"
    when: "not (wireguard_easy_skip_nodejs | bool)"
    ignore_errors: "{{ ansible_check_mode }}"

However when I run ansible-galaxy role import ... I get this error:

Successfully submitted import request 2052975251017006893475265785414423458

Ansible Info:

ansible-galaxy [core 2.12.10]
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/yannick/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/yannick/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-galaxy
  python version = 3.10.12 (main, Jun 11 2023, 05:26:28) [GCC 11.4.0]
  jinja version = 3.0.3
  libyaml = True

What’s going on here? I’m aware that I’m not on the latest version, but that shouldn’t matter as according to the docs what I’m doing should work since at least 2.9

Hello,
I’ve the same problem:

ansible-galaxy --version                                             git:(main|) 
ansible-galaxy [core 2.15.2]
  configured module search path = ['/Users/XXX/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /Users/XXX/.pyenv/versions/3.10.6/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/XX/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /Users/NVK/.pyenv/versions/3.10.6/bin/ansible-galaxy
  python version = 3.10.6 (main, Sep 19 2022, 15:39:33) [Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.102)] (/Users/XXX/.pyenv/versions/3.10.6/bin/python3.10)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

I’ve opened a jira to get this prioritized and fixed Loading...
