Possible wrong file reference on Ansible Installation steps

[yiskaneto]

I'm following the instructions to install ansible https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/v2.21.0/docs/ansible.md#installing-ansible and noticed that after running pip install -U -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.txt (which works) the following commands (test and ansible-galaxy) are run against the files requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml which don't exist, am I missing something?

have you declare the variable as below? this is mention here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/docs/ansible.md

VENVDIR=kubespray-venv
KUBESPRAYDIR=kubespray
ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.12
virtualenv  --python=$(which python3) $VENVDIR

That's correct, installing the requirements with Python is not an issue, my point here is that there is possible doc bug cause the requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml(noticed the yml extension of the requirements file) doesn't exist, the files that exist are requierements-2.11.txt and requirements-2.12.txt, consequently the commands (From Installing-ansible) below won't work

test -f requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml && \
  ansible-galaxy role install -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml && \
  ansible-galaxy collection -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml

Thanks for your explanation, that makes sense for me.
Let me try to fix it.
