Playbook failing due to missing make module

[varad-ahirwadkar]

Ansible playbook fails when role requires make module or using playbooks/main.yaml (checks all the roles).

RHEL 9 using Ansible [core 2.13.3] which does not have make module. It requires collection community.general which include make module.

# ansible --version
ansible [core 2.13.3]
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.9.14 (main, Nov  7 2022, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.3.1 20220421 (Red Hat 11.3.1-2)]
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

# ansible-galaxy collection list 
# /root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections
Collection       Version
---------------- -------
ansible.posix    1.5.1
community.crypto 2.10.0
kubernetes.core  2.4.0

# ansible-doc make
[WARNING]: module make not found in:
/root/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible/modules

As previously noted, RHEL 8.6 and RHEL 9.0 will introduce Ansible Core (ansible-core package) to replace Ansible Engine (ansible package). Ansible Core provides significantly fewer Ansible plugins and modules than Ansible Engine.

Workaround :
Install collection community.general:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general

Can we add this to the README or some doc and close this issue?
