kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 474849a39c fix(svc-bkp-volume-2-local): read the baudolo version from pyproject.toml
Two bots bumped the one baudolo version independently. The pip pin
updater rewrites the literal package_name pin in
roles/svc-bkp-volume-2-local/tasks/01_install.yml and opens a PR scoped
to roles/<entry>/, and dependabot bumps the same package in
pyproject.toml. Each PR alone splits the pins that
tests/lint/repository/dependencies/test_baudolo_pin.py holds equal; #995
merged such a split and turned main's test-lint red until #996, and the
next upstream release (7.1.2 is tagged) would repeat it.

The version lookup now takes an optional distribution name and returns
its exact == pin from [project.dependencies]. The install task asks it
for backup-docker-to-local, so pyproject.toml is the only place the
version lives, dependabot is the only bot that moves it, and the pip
updater no longer finds a literal to bump. The lint now forbids a
literal pin in the task and requires the lookup.

Custom Lookup Plugins for Infinito.Nexus

This directory contains custom Ansible lookup plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.

When to Use a Lookup Plugin

  • Load external data: Use lookups to retrieve data from files, APIs, databases, environment variables, or other external sources.
  • Context-aware data access: Lookups can access the full Ansible context, including inventory, facts, and runtime variables.
  • Generate dynamic lists: Lookups are often used to build inventories, secrets, or host lists dynamically.

Examples

# Load the contents of a file as a variable
my_secret: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/secret.txt') }}"

# Retrieve a list of hostnames from an external source
host_list: "{{ lookup('infinito_inventory_hosts', 'group_name') }}"

When not to Use a Lookup Plugin

  • If you only need to manipulate or transform data already available in your playbook, prefer a filter plugin instead.
