Apparently ansible-playbook is a symlink on this system; I had
/usr/bin/ansible owned by the group ansible before but I changed it back to
root for testing & got so result. What is more weird is that if
ansible-playbook is just a symlink why is the behavior different?
root@ip-172-17-0-237:/etc/ansible# ansible --version
ansible 2.1.0.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
root@ip-172-17-0-237:/etc/ansible# ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 2.1.0.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
root@ip-172-17-0-237:/etc/ansible# ll /usr/bin/ansible
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root ansible 4201 May 25 13:03 /usr/bin/ansible*
root@ip-172-17-0-237:/etc/ansible# ll /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 25 13:03 /usr/bin/ansible-playbook -> ansible*
I checked on another older version and ansible-playbook is a script:
✘ antho@stratus ~/.ssh which ansible
/usr/bin/ansible
antho@stratus ~/.ssh which ansible-playbook
/usr/bin/ansible-playbook
antho@stratus ~/.ssh ll /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
-rwxr-xr-x+ 1 antho antho 3.9K May 22 23:18 /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
antho@stratus ~/.ssh ansible --version
ansible 2.0.2.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
antho@stratus ~/.ssh ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 2.0.2.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
btw here's the playbook i used for testing; nothing fancy:
ot@ip-172-17-0-237:/etc/ansible# cat testing/test_var.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
user: "{{ lookup('file', '/etc/ansible/testing/vars.yml') }}"
tasks:
- debug: msg="the value of foo.txt is {{ user }}"
