Use workflow without having namespace.collection as repository name?

[stdevel]

Hi community,
I'm trying to use the workflow for creating the Ansible docs for the following repository: https://github.com/uyuni-project/ansible-collection-uyuni. I followed the instructions from the samples and the wiki but creating the files still fail:

Run ansible-community/github-docs-build/actions/ansible-docs-build-html@main
Run echo "::group::Invoke build script '${_INPUT_BUILD_SCRIPT}'"
Invoke build script '/home/runner/work/_temp/docsbuild/build.sh'
  ~/work/_temp/docsbuild ~/work/ansible-collection-uyuni/ansible-collection-uyuni
  The collection, ansible-collection-uyuni, is not a valid collection name.
  ~/work/ansible-collection-uyuni/ansible-collection-uyuni
  Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

After having a look at another repository that uses this workflow (https://github.com/svalabs/sva.sentinelone) I think this might be related to the repository name that doesn't follow the namespace.collection schema. I tried to explicitly set the collection name in the workflow definition, e.g.:

  build-docs:
    permissions:
      contents: read
    name: Build Ansible Docs
    uses: ansible-community/github-docs-build/.github/workflows/_shared-docs-build-pr.yml@main
    with:
      init-lenient: true
      init-fail-on-error: false
      collection-name: uyuni_project.uyuni
      render-file-line: '> * `$<status>` [$<path_tail>](https://${{ github.repository_owner }}.github.io/${{ github.event.repository.name }}/pr/${{ github.event.number }}/$<path_tail>)'

The error is the still the same - is it also possible to use a different repository name?

Thanks a lot in advance!

You don't seem to pass collection-name to the workflows, see the Inputs: list in Set up job of https://github.com/uyuni-project/ansible-collection-uyuni/actions/runs/27944656976/job/82686243120?pr=8#step:1:37 and https://github.com/uyuni-project/ansible-collection-uyuni/actions/runs/27944656976/job/82686243067?pr=8#step:1:39. There's also no collection-name in https://github.com/uyuni-project/ansible-collection-uyuni/blob/main/.github/workflows/pr-with-publish-to-gh-pages.yml. You need to add it there (in the main branch, since it uses the pull_request_target trigger!) for it to work.
