STEPS TO REPRODUCE

git clone https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/toolbox/
cd toolbox.git/ARCHIVE/ANSIBLE-COLLECTION
make test-ansible-lint  # or ansible-lint -v -x fqcn[action-core],fqcn[action],name[casing],yaml[truthy],schema[meta],yaml[line-length],var-naming[no-role-prefix] roles/rocketchat

Desired Behavior

No warnings about ignored exceptions should appear.

Actual Behavior

git clone https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/toolbox/
cd toolbox.git/ARCHIVE/ANSIBLE-COLLECTION

Please create a MINIMAL git repository to reproduce this error message, no extra stuff, build scripts or so, ideally just a single YML file. In some cases you might need to add few more.

Hi @ssbarnea,

here is a minimal test case:

git clone https://github.com/nodiscc/minimal-test-ansible-lint-4000
cd minimal-test-ansible-lint-4000/
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip3 install ansible-lint
ansible-lint roles/test_role/

$ ansible-lint roles/test_role/
WARNING  Ignored exception from RoleNames.<bound method RoleNames.matchyaml of role-name: Role name {0} does not match ``^*$`` pattern.> while processing roles/test_role/meta/main.yml (meta): 'dependencies'

Passed: 0 failure(s), 0 warning(s) on 3 files. Last profile that met the validation criteria was 'production'.

@nodiscc @ssbarnea This is fixed as part of #3993
Will be available in the next release.

Thanks @ajinkyau
Small bug but I appreciate the very quick fix.

[corubba]

I don't think this is fixed yet. dependencies does not have to be a list of dicts, it can also be a simple list of strings.

dependencies:
  - some_other_role
  - and_one_more_role

In that case, trying to access it as a dict still results in this error.
