Hi Jordan, I created a new play based on your comment.
---
- hosts: builders
become: true
tasks:
-name: Install Cygwin
win_command: C:\Users\pkmbuilder\Desktop\setup-x86_64.exe --root
C:\cygwin64 --quiet-mode --site http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
--packages "openssh,rsync,zip,vim,wget,nano"
However, I get:
root@Raspi_Ctrl:/ansible/playbook# ansible-playbook cygwin64install.yml -i
/ansible/hosts
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in '/ansible/playbook/cygwin64install.yml':
line 6, column 17, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
-name: Install Cygwin
win_command: C:\Users\pkmbuilder\Desktop\setup-x86_64.exe --root
C:\cygwin64 --quiet-mode --site http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
--packages "openssh,rsync,zip,vim,wget,nano"
^ here
I tried putting the command (Starting at C:\ )in single quotes and it said
this:
The offending line appears to be:
-name: Install Cygwin
win_command: 'C:\Users\pkmbuilder\Desktop\setup-x86_64.exe --root
C:\cygwin64 --quiet-mode --site http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com
--packages "openssh,rsync,zip,vim,wget,nano"'
^ here
This one looks easy to fix. It seems that there is a value started
with a quote, and the YAML parser is expecting to see the line ended
with the same kind of quote. For instance:
when: "ok" in result.stdout
Could be written as:
when: '"ok" in result.stdout'
Or equivalently:
when: "'ok' in result.stdout"
So obviously somethings missing or wrong.
Any ideas?
Thx
Larry
