I started playing around with Ansible (1.9.2) today for the first time (first time using any software in this category before), with the goal of running a number of deploy steps on a Windows machine. I went through the setup instructions and I believe I have everything configured properly, such that I can run playbooks with tasks based on windows-specific modules (win_ping, win_stat, etc).
After convincing myself that I could run those basic commands, I wanted to try to clone a git repo to the remote Windows machine using the git module, but kept on getting error messages like: Module command not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core > modules are missing. I think this warning is specious, since I can run basically the same git task locally on my mac through ansible using a modified playbook. It then dawned on me that perhaps none of the standard core modules are actually supported on windows. Reading through the windows intro in the docs (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_windows.html) again, I realized that the "What modules are available" section is actually a bit vague. I was hoping someone could clarify, whether it's the case that if a module isn't specifically a windows module, then basically it doesn't work on windows targets. In that case, am I correct in my understanding that the only mode of executing custom tasks on windows targets is to do it via powershell scripts (using the "script" module)? Any insight from more experienced users would be much appreciated. Thanks, Josh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
