Problem: 2.14.x fails to find installed galaxy modules

[jfronza]

Issue

After upgrading from 2.13.x to 2.14.x, my project no longer sees the installed galaxy modules and does not reinstall them, as it reports my requirements.yml has no changes.
/opt/semaphore/project_3/repository_7_template_51/roles/requirements.yml has no changes. Skip galaxy install process.

Therefore my tasks all fail to run.
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'ansible.posix.selinux'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

Prior to upgrade, these tasks ran correctly on version 2.13.12. It seems like the issue might be related to the new directory structure.

Debug shows that ansible-playbook is looking for modules in the project directory, rather than /opt/semaphore/.ansible:

ansible-playbook [core 2.16.0]
config file = None
configured module search path = ['/opt/semaphore/project_3/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /opt/semaphore/project_3/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections

I worked around the issue for now by manually installing the galaxy modules into the directory where ansible-playbook is looking:
ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix -p /opt/semaphore/project_3/.ansible/collections/ --force

Hi @jfronza thanks a lot. I trying reproduce the issue.

Hi, I have been facing similar issues regarding the new tmp_path feature. All semaphore runs seem to use the project_x dir as working directory. I have installed ansible locally in a unix user making the python search path for the site-packages invalid as it now includes the project_x dir. A workaraound is to put a symlink into the project_x folders.
