no-role-prefix picks up incorrect path component when ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH is set

[ilikejam]

Summary

With ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH set to e.g.:
ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=roles/services:roles/base:roles/contrib

no-role-prefix appears to be picking up the directory before the module as the module name when linting yml in the 'defaults' dir. e.g.:
var-naming[no-role-prefix]: Variables names from within roles should use services_ as a prefix. (vars: proxy_env)
roles/services/signiant_agent/defaults/main.yml:15

This only seems to happen when linting defaults files - yaml under vars is OK.

Issue Type

• Bug Report

OS / ENVIRONMENT

ansible-lint --version
ansible-lint 6.22.0 using ansible-core:2.16.0 ansible-compat:4.1.10 ruamel-yaml:0.18.5 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.8

• ansible installation method: one of source, pip, OS package
• ansible-lint installation method: one of source, pip, OS package

Both pip installed on bookworm-slim docker base image

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Set ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH=roles/services
Run ansible-lint on a module under roles/services, e.g. roles/services/mything
Observe that 'services_' is the suggested prefix for variables in defaults/main.yml

Desired Behavior

no-role-prefix should suggest variable names based on the module name, rather than its parent directory

Possible security bugs should be reported via email to [email protected]

Actual Behavior

no-role-prefix detects the directory above the module as the module name

Please give some details of what is happening.
Include a minimum complete verifiable example with:

• minimized playbook to reproduce the error
• the output of running ansible-lint including the command line used
• if you're getting a stack trace, also the output of
  ansible-playbook --syntax-check playbook

With the following in roles/services/signiant_agent/defaults/main.yml:

---
signiant_agent_sha: ebc46b2803dcfea61bfe9352e7787acad6b43ed4d7f429e90f8b49af
signiant_agent_install: true

ansible-lint fails with:

var-naming[no-role-prefix]: Variables names from within roles should use services_ as a prefix. (vars: signiant_agent_sha)
roles/services/signiant_agent/defaults/main.yml:2

var-naming[no-role-prefix]: Variables names from within roles should use services_ as a prefix. (vars: signiant_agent_install)
roles/services/signiant_agent/defaults/main.yml:3
