Suggestions show all installed collections as part of 'ansible.builtin'

[robertcrews]

Summary

I am experiencing an issue where only modules in 'ansible.builtin' namespace are recognized correctly or suggested. Additionally, any collections (community.vmware, community.general etc) are listed in suggestions as belonging in the 'ansible.builtin' namespace (see screen capture below). I've reinstalled the extensions, reinstalled vscode and deleted the .vscode* files and directories on the remote Linux host in an effort to let it set itself back up. I've also removed/reinstalled ansible-core, ansible-lint, the ansible collections etc all to no success.

I've checked to ensure that collections etc.. are all installed in the expected location ~/.ansible/. If I remove collections the modules still appear as suggestions (still in the incorrect name-space).

I have had success with this from a alternate workstation connecting to a different remote host, so it would seem that this is something messed up either with my primary workstation or the language server on the remote host (or both).

[fstrube]

I have the same problem. All suggestions are in ansible.builtin.* although ansible-lint reports that the canonical name should be used, e.g. community.general.*.

I recently had to reinstall Ansible via brew, so maybe something broke during that process?
