ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'azure_rm_resourcegroup'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

Question

Hi,

I run into the following error
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'azure_rm_resourcegroup'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
When a run a basic ansible command to deploy a resourcegroup in BASH.

---

• name: To automate the provisioning of cloud resources hosts: localhost connection: local tasks:
  • name: create resource group azure_rm_resourcegroup: name: test location: South India

When i check for the module:

ansible-galaxy collection install azure.azcollection

Starting galaxy collection install process

[WARNING]: Collection at '/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection' does not have a MANIFEST.json file, nor has it galaxy.yml: cannot detect version.

Nothing to do. All requested collections are already installed. If you want to reinstall them, consider using --force.

It does show that the package is available.
The CLI is default one and i have not installed anything extra.

Can this be looked into.
Thanks.
