Description

Description

What is being changed?

The API layer is restructured from a flat version-only layout (api/v1/) to a service-scoped layout (api/{service}/v{version}/), with per-service version detection and routing throughout the SDK.

Why is this change needed?

The collection originally only talked to the Gateway API. As modules are migrated from awx.awx/ansible.controller (starting with job_template), the collection needs to also talk to the Controller API — which has its own independent versioning. Gateway is at v1, Controller is at v2, and they don't lifecycle together. A single global api_version can't represent both.

How does this change address the issue?

  • Moves gateway modules to api/gateway/v1/ and creates api/controller/v2/ for incoming controller modules
  • APIVersionRegistry now discovers services from the directory structure and maps each module to its owning service
  • DynamicClassLoader resolves imports as api.{service}.v{version}.{module}
  • Clients (DirectHTTPClient, PlatformService) track api_versions per-service with lazy detection and known defaults (gateway=v1, controller=v2)
  • lookup_resource_id accepts a service parameter so FK lookups route through the correct API
  • TransformContext carries the service name for downstream use
  • The design is fully component-agnostic — adding future services (EDA, Hub, etc.) requires only a new directory under api/

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Test update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Development environment change
  • Configuration change

Self-Review Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my code
  • I have added relevant comments to complex code sections
  • I have updated documentation where needed
  • I have considered the security impact of these changes
  • I have considered performance implications
  • I have thought about error handling and edge cases
  • I have tested the changes in my local environment
  • Existing playbook FQCNs are preserved (no renames without a redirect in meta/routing.yml)
  • Deprecated parameters include a deprecated: block in DOCUMENTATION with removal version

Testing Instructions

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+ with ansible-core installed
  • Collection importable as ansible_collections.ansible.platform (symlink or install)

Steps to Test

  1. Run unit tests — all 148 tests should pass, including the new multi-service discovery test:
    python -m pytest tests/unit/ -v
  2. Verify registry discovers services from directory structure:
    from ansible_collections.ansible.platform.plugins.plugin_utils.platform.registry import APIVersionRegistry
    registry = APIVersionRegistry()
    print(registry.get_services()) # ['gateway']
    print(registry.get_supported_versions("gateway")) # ['1']
    print(registry.get_service_for_module("user")) # 'gateway'
  3. Verify loader resolves imports through service-scoped paths:
    from ansible_collections.ansible.platform.plugins.plugin_utils.platform.loader import DynamicClassLoader
    loader = DynamicClassLoader(registry)
    AnsibleClass, APIClass, MixinClass = loader.load_classes_for_module("user", "1")
    print(APIClass.name) # 'APIUser_v1'
  4. Verify backward compatibility — existing gateway modules work unchanged against a running AAP instance:
  • name: Create a user via gateway
    ansible.platform.user:
    username: test_user
    password: changeme
    state: present

Expected Results

  • All unit tests pass (148/148)
  • Registry correctly discovers gateway/v1 and any future service directories
  • Loader imports from api.gateway.v1.* transparently
  • No behavioral change for existing gateway modules — all existing playbooks work without modification

Additional Context

  • This is infrastructure-only — no new modules or user-facing parameters are added
  • The api/controller/v2/ directory is created empty, ready for controller modules (e.g. job_template) to land in a follow-up PR
  • When adding a new component (EDA, Hub, etc.), just create api/{service}/v{version}/ with transform modules — the registry auto-discovers it

Additional Context

Required Actions

  • Requires documentation updates
  • Requires downstream repository changes
  • Requires infrastructure/deployment changes
  • Requires coordination with other teams
  • Blocked by PR/MR: #XXX

Screenshots/Logs

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for independent API versioning by service.
    • Added service-aware routing, resource lookups, module loading, and transformation context.
    • Added support for gateway and controller API version discovery with sensible defaults.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected package resolution after reorganizing API modules by service and version.
  • Tests

    • Updated coverage for service-scoped discovery, multi-service registries, and revised API module locations.

The collection previously assumed a single API version (gateway) for all
modules. As controller modules (job_template, etc.) are migrated from
awx.awx, each AAP component needs independent version tracking since
gateway and controller APIs are versioned and lifecycled separately.

- Restructure api/ directory: api/v1/ -> api/{service}/v{version}/
  (api/gateway/v1/ for existing modules, api/controller/v2/ ready for
  controller modules)
- APIVersionRegistry now discovers services from directory structure and
  maps each module to its owning service
- DynamicClassLoader resolves imports as api.{service}.v{version}.{module}
- Clients track api_versions per-service with lazy detection
- lookup_resource_id accepts a service parameter for correct routing
- TransformContext carries service name for downstream use
- All 148 unit tests pass including new multi-service discovery test

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API layout now groups implementations by service and version. Registry, client, loader, and manager code resolve versions per service. Gateway imports, package fixtures, and registry tests use the new service-scoped paths.

Changes

Per-service API versioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Service-scoped registry and context
plugins/plugin_utils/platform/registry.py, plugins/plugin_utils/platform/types.py, tests/unit/plugins/plugin_utils/platform/test_registry.py
API discovery now stores versions and modules by service. Registry queries accept an optional service. TransformContext includes the service. Tests cover gateway and controller discovery.
Service-aware version execution
plugins/plugin_utils/platform/base_client.py, plugins/plugin_utils/platform/direct_client.py, plugins/plugin_utils/platform/loader.py, plugins/plugin_utils/manager/platform_manager.py, tests/unit/modules/test_registry.py
Clients detect and cache versions per service. The loader imports service-scoped API modules. Manager execution and resource lookup pass service and version data through request handling.
Service-scoped API package layout
plugins/plugin_utils/api/controller/*, plugins/plugin_utils/api/gateway/*, plugins/plugin_utils/api/gateway/v1/*, tests/unit/plugins/plugin_utils/test_service_cluster.py, changelogs/fragments/aap_93608_per_service_api_versioning.yml
Gateway and controller package markers are added. Gateway v1 relative imports target the deeper package path. The changelog documents the API layout change.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 87d3e

Services that share a module name can select an unsupported version and fail to load the intended API implementation. The new changelog fragment also needs its required YAML terminator. Resolve these issues before merging.

Add the required YAML document terminator.

.yamllint.yml requires document-end.present: true. This fragment has no ..., so yamllint can report a validation failure.

Scope module ownership and versions by service.

The registry uses a service-scoped API layout, and the loader imports from the selected service path. If two services contain the same module basename, these assignments overwrite the selected service and combine versions from both services. The loader can then select a version that does not exist under the selected service and fail during import.

Store ownership and versions by (service, module_name). Pass the service explicitly through version selection and class loading. Do not reject duplicate module names that are valid in different services.
