zport module is not part of a collection and results in a ansible-lint syntax-check error.

[ddimatos]

The IMS team is using an ansible module not part of a collection, its being created locally.
This module is zport

That results in "couldn't resolve module/action 'zport'." ,

Things I tried to fix this:

• Add the module to ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS or ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH here ansible.cfg.
• Tried to add to requiements.yaml to inform ansible where to find the module. I don’t know what FQCN to use either given its not coming from a collection.
• # noqa: syntax-check[specific] but I found it to be unskipable and also noted here

    - name: Allocate HTTP Port
      zport: # noqa: syntax-check[specific]
        name: '*'
        port: '{{ zcon_http_port if RESERVE_SPECIFIC_PORT else None | default(omit) }}'
        dsname: '{{ tcpip_profile }}'
        tmp_dsname: '{{ tcpip_profile_tmp }}'
        tcp: true
      register: command_result2

Work around:

• What I consider a temporary work around was to disable the check in .ansible-lint-ignore here in this PR.
• I could not find much doc or an example of .ansible-lint-ignore , best doc i found was this snippet , this is likely because its a newer capability.
