ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


Thanks for useful collection 😃
This is the first time to send PR to this collection, so please let me know if I'm on the wrong way.

The version_added is set to 2.4.0, but I'm not aware of the roadmap for this collection, so I'd like to know this is the right version to specify.
Changelog and simple integration test is also added.
It seems that the end of log_lines always contains an empty element, so if tail_lines is set to 5, the length of log_lines will be 6, as noted in the comment in the test. I've considered that truncating the trailing empty element, but decided not to for the following reasons.

It is inconsistent and unnatural to remove trailing empty elements only when tail_lines is specified.
Removing trailing empty elements always with or without tail_lines is a destructive change and should not be done because it would break backward compatibility.

    - name: retrieve last 5 lines of log from the job
      kubernetes.core.k8s_log:

        kind: Job
        namespace: test
