ansible galaxy project naming

Bug Report

SUMMARY

With the current changes from #779 and #820 I’ll have now a follow up problem: we used to maintain our github stuff with:

• github repository name: ansible-role-mycooltool
• galaxy name: name-space.mycooltool

After changing and applying #820 we now have the

• galaxy name: name_space.ansible_role_mycooltool and have no possibility to change that?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. create namespace
2. create github role ansible-role-my-cool-tool
3. import that in ansible galaxy
4. wonder about name_space.ansible_role_my_cool_tool

EXPECTED RESULTS

First: I don’t get which namespace is to use now. name_space or name-space for the existing project.

ansible-galaxy install while-true-do.my-cool-tool

or

ansible-galaxy install while_true_do.my_cool_tool

ACTUAL RESULTS

ansible-galaxy install while_true_do.ansible_role_my_cool_tool

Your namespace is donvipre, which exists, but has no content associated with it.

If you start adding repositories to your namespace, you’ll see, as the documentation states, repository and role names will get ‘-’ converted to ‘_’. Using your example, ansible-role-my-cool-tool will get converted to ansible_role_my_cool_tool.

If you want to alter the name, to just my_coole_tool, you can set the galaxy_ino.role_name value in meta/main.yml.

Renamed while-true-do to while_true_do, as requested. Apologies for not getting back to this.

Tested an install of one of your roles, see output below. You’ll need to update your role dependencies with the new namespace.

ansible-galaxy install while_true_do.ansible
- downloading role 'ansible', owned by while_true_do
- downloading role from https://github.com/while-true-do/ansible-role-ansible/archive/master.tar.gz
- extracting while_true_do.ansible to /Users/chouseknecht/roles/while_true_do.ansible
- while_true_do.ansible (master) was installed successfully
- adding dependency: while-true-do.repo-epel
- downloading role 'repo-epel', owned by while-true-do
 [WARNING]: - while-true-do.repo-epel was NOT installed successfully: - sorry, while-true-do.repo-epel was not found on https://galaxy.ansible.com.
