Centos – ansible-lint failing with: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'resolve'

While running a github linter workflow on a new CentOS VM that I set up, I got the following error:

Run ansible-lint --parseable ./ansible
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-lint", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(_run_cli_entrypoint())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansiblelint/__main__.py", line 344, in _run_cli_entrypoint
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansiblelint/__main__.py", line 197, in main
    initialize_options(argv[1:])

    options.cache_dir = get_cache_dir(options.project_dir)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible_compat/prerun.py", line 13, in get_cache_dir
    basename = project_dir.resolve().name.encode(encoding="utf-8")
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'resolve'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I tried with the following package versions which all failed with the above error:

• python3: 3.9.16
• ansible: 8.0.0 or 6.6.0
• ansible-compat: 4.1.2 or 2.2.7
• ansible-core: 2.15.0 or 2.13.9
• ansible-lint: 6.17.0 or 6.10.2

Using pip, the following dependencies were also installed:

• flake8
• yamllint==1.28.0
• codespell
• comment_parser

Is there some linter dependency or something else that I am missing?

The step within the linter job is:

 - name: 'Lint yaml - ansible, GH actions and GH workflows'
   run: yamllint -f parsable ./
   if: always()
