Hi All,
I am trying to do a syntax check on all my .yaml files before running
ansible-playbook. I am using version 2.0.2.0. However some modules give
error saying that they are "illegal parameters" in an Ansible play.
I am using role based system and these "illegal parameters" are in my
roles/ROLENAME/tasks/main.yaml files. Examples of these parameters are
fail,register. However the funny thing is that the playbook runs absolutely
fine. Only when i do ansible-playbook myYAMLFILE.yaml --check do I get
these errors. Sample errors:
ERROR: fail is not a legal parameter of an Ansible Play
ERROR: register is not a legal parameter of an Ansible Play
Sample playbook:
---
- fail: msg="Please provide a profile name. Profile name can be
qa|qa2|prod1|prod2|staging"
when: profile is undefined
- fail: msg="Invalid profile. Profile name can be
qa|qa2|prod1|prod2|staging "
when: not((profile == 'qa') or (profile == 'qa2') or (profile == 'prod1')
or (profile == 'prod2') or (profile == 'prod3') or (profile == 'staging'))
#Extract the file name pointed to by the mwportal link
- name: Get file name of the war file to deploy
local_action: shell readlink -f {{local_repo}}apiserver
register: res
- set_fact:
war_file_dir_absolute_path="{{remote_repo}}{{
res.stdout.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0] }}"
war_file_dir_basename="{{ res.stdout.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0] }}"
- debug: msg="{{war_file_dir_absolute_path}}"
- name: create a dir to unzip war file
file: name={{war_file_dir_absolute_path}} state=directory
- name: Unzip the war file
unarchive: src={{local_repo}}apiserver dest={{war_file_dir_absolute_path}}
#Copy the profiles from the WEB-INF/classes/profiles/XX directory to
WEB-INF/classes
- name: Copy properties files to WEB-INF/classes
shell: cp {{war_file_dir_absolute_path}}/WEB-INF/classes/{{profile}}/*
{{war_file_dir_absolute_path}}/WEB-INF/classes/
- name: Ensure there are no residual folders from previus failed
installation
command: rm -rf /usr/local/{{war_file_dir_basename}}-{{profile}}
#notify:
#- Restart Tomcat7
- name: Move the war file to /usr/local
command: mv {{war_file_dir_absolute_path}}
/usr/local/{{war_file_dir_basename}}-{{profile}}
# notify:
# - Restart Tomcat7
- name: Create a symlink
file: name=/usr/local/apiserver src={{war_file_dir_basename}}-{{profile}}
state=link force=yes
# notify:
# - Restart Tomcat7
- name: Restart tomcat
service: name=tomcat7 state=restarted
...
Am I doing something wrong here? If check is not the correct way to check
the correctness of YAML config then what is?
Thank you.
