ansible handlers from import_tasks marked as failure

[klepiz]

Describe the bug
It appears that MegaLinter does not properly handle Ansible handlers imported using the import_tasks directive.

When attempting to import handlers as shown below:

After some investigation, the following potential workarounds were identified:

• Ignore the rule triggering the false positive.
• Refactor the playbook into a role, so the handlers are imported as /handlers/main.yml.
• Define the handlers directly within the playbook instead of importing them.

To Reproduce

1. Create an Ansible playbook with a separate handlers file.
2. Import the handlers file into the playbook using import_tasks, for example:

  handlers:
    - import_tasks: ./handlers/main.yml

3. Run MegaLinter against the playbook.

Expected behavior
MegaLinter should correctly recognize and validate handlers imported via import_tasks, rather than raising an error.

@klepiz unfortunately I'm no ansible expert :/

linters command lines are built using this descriptor -> https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/blob/main/megalinter/descriptors/ansible.megalinter-descriptor.yml

When you look in MegaLiner logs you can see the exact command line that is called

What would need to be changed in this command line so your use case is covered ?
