Hello ...
I am invoking puppet agent -t from Ansible, and since some puppet non-zero
return codes are OK, I am parsing the stdout to look for errors and fail if
any errors are seen.
In this case, the error string I am looking for is "has failures: true"
The string I am looking for has a colon and I cannot for the life of me
escape it.
I have tried single quotes, double quotes, quotes around the whole thing,
quotes only around the colon, backslash.
Also, I am not using the puppet module because I cannot become root on the
other side, I only have sudo privs to the command ... Suggesting I use the
puppet modules is not an option for us, unfortunately.
Any suggestions on how to escape this colon? Is this an issue with the find
function? I feel the answer will be something really obvious.
If I remove the "and puppet_execute.stdout.find("has failures: true") > -1" or
remove the colon, the play runs just fine. It is this darn colon!!!
Here is the execute.yml from the role "puppet_apply"
- name: "Executing puppet apply"
become: no
changed_when: false
ignore_errors: yes
shell: cd /var/tmp && sudo /usr/local/bin/puppet agent -t --no-noop |
grep -v 'Loading facts in ' | sed -r
's/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g'
args:
executable: /bin/bash
register: puppet_execute
when: puppet_prompt == "GO"
- name: Verify if puppet was already running
fail: msg="PUPPET ALREADY RUNNING -- ABORT"
when: puppet_prompt == "GO" and puppet_execute.stdout.find("Run of Puppet
configuration client already in progress") > -1
- name: Verify if any errors detected
fail: msg="PUPPET ISSUES"
when: puppet_prompt == "GO" and puppet_execute.stdout.find("has failures:
true") > -1

be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with\nunbalanced

the same set of quotes. For instance this arbitrary\nexample:\n\n foo:
