Azure module error while creating a resource group

[manikjain]

Hello, I received an error while trying to execute the azure playbook. The error indicates that requirements-azure.txt is not up-to-date with https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/blob/dev/requirements-azure.txt. I was able to fix this after updating requirements-azure.txt in the repository with https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/blob/dev/requirements-azure.txt.

Problem

% ansible-playbook azure.playbook.yml -t standup -e '{ "azure_vm_size": "Standard_F2s_v2", "test_services": [ "tyk", "kong" ] }'
​
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
