Thanks kai !
Yes, I don't know how i missed the localhost part after adding "delegateTo:
localhost" I am able to append the line on each test case success/failure.
One more thing i wanted to clarify nomatter what command i se for appending
the line( command/sheel/lineinfile) it always fails and outpus sudo; A
password is required.
am i missing something>
I have my playbook that contained one role and i declared "become: true"
before the role as below
*//vcenter_snaprestore.yml*
- hosts: esx1
become: true
roles:
- ESX_VM_SnapRestore
**********************************************
- lineinfile:
path: /etc/ansible/results.txt
line: 'HPQC Passed Create snapshot of a vGPU VM on ESX'
insertafter: EOF
when: taskresult|succeeded
delegate_to: localhost
vmisra@ubuntu:/etc/ansible$ ansible-playbook vcenter_snaprestore.yml
----
ASK [ESX_VM_SnapRestore : lineinfile]
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [ -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true,
"module_stderr": "sudo: a password is required\n", "module_stdout": "",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1
Thanks a lot for help!
