Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

See https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.20.html#inject-facts-as-vars

Summary by Sourcery

Update Ansible fact usage to be compatible with INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false and upcoming Ansible 2.20+ deprecations.

Enhancements:

  • Replace direct Ansible fact variables with ansible_facts lookups in role variables to align with current best practices.

Documentation:

  • Update README-ostree documentation to reference ansible_facts-based distribution variables instead of deprecated top-level fact variables.

Tests:

  • Adjust test playbooks and test vars to use ansible_facts-based keys instead of deprecated Ansible fact variables.

Reviewer's Guide

Updates Ansible-related variables and documentation to use the supported ansible_facts[...] access pattern instead of deprecated bare fact variables, ensuring compatibility with INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false and future Ansible versions.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Replace deprecated bare Ansible fact variables with ansible_facts[...] lookups in role variables and tests.
  • Update Jinja comments in a test playbook to reference ansible_facts['distribution'], ansible_facts['distribution_version'], ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'], and ansible_facts['os_family'] instead of bare fact variables.
  • Change role helper booleans that test whether the distribution is in Red Hat or Fedora lists to use ansible_facts['distribution'] membership checks instead of ansible_distribution.

Align README documentation with ansible_facts-based fact access.
