ansible-galaxy vs. ansible-galaxy collections

[Hiero-nymo]

Hi everyone,

On the ansible documentation, I found the collection "the foreman.foreman" here's the link: theforeman.foreman

This collection can manually be installed like:

ansible-galaxy collection install the foreman.foreman and all seems ok.

So, now I need to do the same things but automatically through the requirements.yml file, like this:

---

collections:
- theforeman.foreman

Unfortunately this collection will not be find and when I do a search into ansible-galaxy I don't find it.

Is the collection something else than ansible-galaxy?

I've the feeling that something goes wrong but I don't know what.

Has anyone an idea about my issue?

Could someone explain me the difference between these both repo?

Thank you in advance for your help,

[Dick Visser]

Maybe you have a formatting issue with your requirements.yml.   Mine looks like this, and it worked no problem.

collections:

   - name: theforeman.foreman
