plugins/modules/podman_container.py include output from is_different function in return values about ansible-podman-collections HOT 2 CLOSED

@dchats1 can you please write playbooks that you run to test and how to reproduce the issue? You can run ansible-playbook --diff to see the difference in containers, no need to print from function. So workdir is not "/" by default for your case? Please submit output of "--diff" and inspect for container.
If I understand the issue correct, we'll need to remove workdir from defaults.

@sshnaidm I wasn't aware of the --diff flag, that accomplishes exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

In the case of the quay.io/prometheus/prometheus container the workdir set by the container is /prometheus. Here is the task and the output from --diff:

- name: Run Prometheus Container
  containers.podman.podman_container:
    name: prometheus
    image: quay.io/prometheus/prometheus:v2.17.1
    network: host
    volume:
      - /opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
      - /opt/prometheus/data:/prometheus
    state: started

Adding workdir: /prometheus to the task fixes that.

I don't think the workdir needs to be removed from the defaults, but it might be helpful to have an extra flag that lets the module ignore params that aren't set by the user. Maybe something like this:
