Also apologies, I was offline for a bit and then had other priorities at
work.
I've downloaded your github example as a zip file, unpacked it, modified
host and usernames to reflect the local situation.
I now don't get an error, but now the tasks just show "skipping" for
everything:
PLAY [Add sysadmins group and users]

PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
host1 : ok=6 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
host2 : ok=6 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
I've modified roles/groups_users/tasks/main.yml to this:
---
- name: Add groups
group: name={{ item.name }} gid={{ item.gid }} state={{ item.state }}
with_items: unix_groups
- name: Add users
user: name={{ item.name }}
uid={{ item.uid }}
password={{ item.password }}
group={{ item.group }}
groups=""
comment="{{ item.comment }}"
state={{ item.state }}
update_password=always
shell=/bin/bash
with_items: unix_users
i.e. added extra fields and renamed "groups" and "users" to "unix_groups"
and "unix_users". This is reflected by corresponding changes
to external_vars/groups_users_db.yml
and external_vars/groups_users_sysadmins.yml .
My problem is that I don't quite get how the group_vars/* files interact
with roles stuff. I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with this yet,
so perhaps it's something obvious but I didn't want to delay this response
in case you thought I was ignoring you :-)
If it's something obvious to someone, please let me know. I'll continue
trying it when I get time to spend on this.
thanks,
Paul
