community.general.lxd connection not working with molecule #4886
Description
Summary
When I try to run molecule create with the lxd driver, it creates the lxc container correctly, but then gives a warning and then fails to run a command on the container.
[WARNING]: The "ansible_collections.community.general.plugins.connection.lxd" connection plugin has an improperly configured remote target value, forcing "inventory_hostname" templated value instead of the string
After some debugging, I found that the remote_addr value was being set to the literal string 'inventory_hostname' instead of the value of the current host's inventory_hostname. I found another connection plugin that had fixed a similar issue.
Applying this patch to the plugins/connection/lxd.py file fixes the problem.
