* test(yarn): add Alpine Linux support via apk Install nodejs and yarn via apk on Alpine, sharing the functional test block with the existing non-Alpine (pre-built binary) path. Extracts the test block into tests.yml to avoid duplication. Fixes #4270 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(yarn): skip Node.js runtime warnings in stderr processing Node.js 24 emits DeprecationWarning lines to stderr (e.g. for url.parse()) that are not JSON, causing _process_yarn_error to fail with "Unexpected stderr output from Yarn". Skip lines starting with "(node:" before attempting JSON parsing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(yarn): add changelog fragment for #11943 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(yarn): only JSON-parse lines starting with '{' in stderr Node.js 24 emits multi-line DeprecationWarnings to stderr (e.g. the hint line "(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...`") that are not JSON and were tripping the "Unexpected stderr output from Yarn" failure. Yarn's structured output always starts with '{', so skip any line that doesn't. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(yarn): install sqlite on Alpine to fix nodejs 22 symbol error On Alpine 3.21 nodejs 22 requires SQLite session extension symbols (sqlite3session_*) that are not present in sqlite-libs; installing the full sqlite package provides them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(yarn): refresh apk cache and upgrade sqlite-libs before installing nodejs The CI Alpine container may have a stale sqlite-libs that lacks the session extension symbols (sqlite3session_*) required by nodejs 22+. Force a cache refresh and upgrade sqlite-libs to the latest revision. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(yarn): warn on non-JSON stderr lines instead of silently skipping Non-JSON lines in stderr (e.g. Node.js runtime DeprecationWarnings) are surfaced to the user via module.warn() rather than being silently ignored, since their content and meaning are not known in advance.

Using this collection
This collection is shipped with the Ansible package. So if you have it installed, no more action is required.
If you have a minimal installation (only Ansible Core installed) or you want to use the latest version of the collection along with the whole Ansible package, you need to install the collection from Ansible Galaxy manually with the ansible-galaxy command-line tool:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general
You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:
collections:
- name: community.general
Note that if you install the collection manually, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the Ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general --upgrade
You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax where X.Y.Z can be any available version:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general:==X.Y.Z
See Ansible Using collections for more details.
