I have a problem where a playbook using add_host fails unless the host
(which sits behind a jump server) has already been connected to by running
another playbook.
Can anyone explain to me why the following happens, and hopefully how to
fix it?
I have two playbooks and a hosts file:
dynamic-host.yml:
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: add remote host
add_host: name=remote groups=hosts
- hosts: hosts
name: hello world
tasks:
- shell: echo "hello world!"
static-host.yml:
- hosts: remote
name: hello world
tasks:
- shell: echo "hello world!"
hosts:
[remote]
remote ansible_host=10.0.0.1 ansible_port=22 ansible_ssh_common_args='-o
ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q 10.1.0.1"'
If I run the dynamic playbook, it fails:
ansible-playbook dynamic-host.yml -i hosts -vvvv
...
fatal: [remote]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ERROR! SSH
encountered an unknown error. The output was:\nOpenSSH_7.2p2

PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
remote : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=1 failed=0
If I then run the static playbook, it succeeds:
ansible-playbook static-host.yml -i hosts -vvvv
...
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************
remote : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
If t then run the dynamic playbook again (after running the static one), it
also succeeds:
ansible-playbook dynamic-host.yml -i hosts -vvvv
...
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
remote : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
Any ideas why this is happening?
