@rhysmeister is there anything else you need help with for Cassandra?

[rhysmeister]

@gundalow Dig into fixing the integration tests if you're keen... ;-)

No, all good I think but I go have a couple of general questions...

• Should we be using the new path syntax across the board? i.e. community.category.module
• Ansible Module Development Guidelines said to put shared code into lib/ansible/module_utils/ Are there any coding/style recommendations like this for collections?

Could you please expand on this a bit?

  At a high level, the same guidelines apply as they did in ansible/ansible. You just need to be mindful that codes moved around, ie

ansible/ansible: lib/ansible/module_utils/
Collections: plugins/module_utils/

@gundalow If you remember the int tests for the mongodb lookup plugin weren't working. You advise using the following path community.mongodb.mongodb, i.e.

- name: "assert we complain properly if pymongo is not there"
  debug: msg="{{ lookup('community.mongodb.mongodb', mongodb_parameters ) }}"
  register: result
  ignore_errors: yes

This work but I note that I don't have to use this syntax in my module tests. i..e. I can still use the short form here, i.e.

- name: Create replicaset with members as dictionaries - mongodb_replicaset10
  mongodb_replicaset:
    login_host: localhost
    login_port: 3001
    login_database: admin
    replica_set: '{{ mongodb_replicaset10 }}'
    members:
    - host: "localhost:3001"
      priority: 1
    - host: "localhost:3002"
      priority: 1
    - host: "localhost:3003"
      priority: 0
      hidden: true
      slaveDelay: 3600

Should this be update to community.mongodb.mongodb_replicaset or can it be left as it is?

[gundalow]

Ansible-test knows what collection it's being run in, which is most likely why the short form works.

[gundalow]

If it's works, leave it as is.

[rhysmeister]

OK. But not for lookup plugins though? No bother, just good to know.

@rhysmeister I believe this is all good, so closing. If not please reopen.
Thanks as always for the great work you are doing

[rhysmeister]

Yes all good. Thanks for the help getting setup.
