Invalid conditional

[lldelisle]

Dear developers of the ansible role,
Thank you so much this is super useful. When I installed a new galaxy, I got an issue with:

ansible-galaxy/tasks/paths.yml

Line 24 in 54d7d45

when: item | default(False)

The error was:

TASK [galaxyproject.galaxy : Create additional privilege separated directories] *******************************************************************
[ERROR]: Task failed: Conditional result was '/opt/galaxy/galaxy_root/venv' of type 'str', which evaluates to True. Conditionals must have a boolean result.

Task failed.

               ^ column 13

Broken conditionals can be temporarily allowed with the `ALLOW_BROKEN_CONDITIONALS` configuration option.

[ERROR]: Task failed: Conditional result was '/opt/galaxy/galaxy_root/server' of type 'str', which evaluates to True. Conditionals must have a boolean result.

etc..

I fixed it by adding to my ansible.cfg (in the default section):

allow_broken_conditionals = yes

Here is my version of ansible:

[delislel@HPdelislel ~]$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.19.0]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/home/delislel/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/delislel/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.13.5 (main, Jun 21 2025, 09:35:00) [GCC 15.1.1 20250425] (/usr/bin/python)
  jinja version = 3.1.6
  pyyaml version = 6.0.2 (with libyaml v0.2.5)

Thanks @lldelisle - this is related to this change in Ansible 12: https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_12.html#broken-conditionals. This is fixed in #236 (and thus release 0.12.1).
