fix: resolve include_tasks paths from playbook dir - #5184
Conversation
Fixes #5051 Changes based on PR #5073 review feedback: ## file_utils.py - Add parent existence check before calling _guess_parent() to prevent incorrectly guessed parents from being overwritten by fallback mechanism ## utils.py - Add _playbook_dir() helper function with cycle detection to safely climb the parent chain and find the root playbook directory - Prevents infinite loops from circular parent references by tracking visited lintables during traversal - Returns the directory of the root playbook for use as fallback basedir when resolving relative include_tasks paths This allows playbooks to resolve relative include_tasks whose paths are relative to the original playbook directory, not the including task file's directory.

_include_search_basedirs must incorporate the directory returned by
_playbook_dir, with the intended precedence before fallback upward-directory
searches. Update _resolve_include_path’s search bases so nested include_tasks

_playbook_dir() helper was defined but never called, making it a dead code function. Wire it into _include_search_basedirs() to add the root playbook directory as a fallback basedir when resolving relative include_tasks paths. This allows nested include_tasks to resolve relative paths that are relative to the original playbook directory, not just the including task file's directory or its parents.

🟠 Major · Include relative parent directories in the search bases.
src/ansiblelint/utils.py:224-232
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winInclude relative parent directories in the search bases. Task-include producers assign
child.parent = lintable, andLintablecan preserve a relativeparent.path._include_search_basedirsskips that parent directory whenparent.path.is_absolute()is false. A nested relative include can therefore omit the directory required by_resolve_include_pathand be reported as missing. Normalize the parent path before the check, or add its relative directory using the resolver’s base-directory contract.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Fixes #5051
Changes based on PR #5073 review feedback:
file_utils.py
utils.py
This allows playbooks to resolve relative include_tasks whose paths are relative to the original playbook directory, not the including task file's directory.
