[ansible-project] Ansible can't sudo to unprivileged user
Hello, I have a use case where ansible has to connect with an automation user, which is deployed on all the servers, and the sudo to a service user that runs on that particular machine. The service users are all different between these machines and are unprivileged users. So ansible is having a issue with that. I just tried to do a whoami using the shell module, for a simple test. I get back: Shared connection closed. Setfacl is installed and POSIX acls are available. I tested and as the connection user I could add an rw acl for the service user. So ansible should be able to do it. These users also share a group so I tried setting ansible_common_remote_group. It didn't help. I tried setting allow_world_readable_tmpfiles. That didn't help either. So I am a bit at a loss here. By all means, it seems this should work, but for some reason it doesn't and I'm not sure what to check next.

Try turning it into a list.

[ansible-project] Ansible Expect - delaybeforesend how to set
Hi, I undestand that 'Ansible Expect' uses python pexpect. Do you know if ansible playbook can change pexpect's 'delaybeforesend'? ' delaybeforesend' is used to wait a little time before sending a response to a prompt. The reason for this sometimes my Ansible Expect playbook works and sometimes the same playbook fails. I think this is a timing issue when the program on the remote side is a bit slow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

That's a pity.
The prompt is different on each host that I'll be adding (later)

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Expect - Program under control has same prompt
Thanks.
I tried what you suggested but I get:
'responses' is of type and we were unable to convert to dict
But this seems to work:
responses:
Username: sq
Password: "SoLong>"
BASE\>:
- "w ##Class(websys).test()"
- "H"

Re: [ansible-project] Identify most recent directory in a directory.
Use Ansible module *find* and sort the directories by *ctime*. For
example, given the tree
shell> tree /tmp/test
/tmp/test
├── 2022-12-01_1701
├── 2022-12-01_1702
└── 2022-12-01_1703
Declare the variable
last_dir: "{{ (out.files|sort(attribute='ctime')|last).path }}"
The tasks below
- find:
path: /tmp/test
file_type: directory
register: out
- debug:
var: last_dir
give
last_dir: /tmp/test/2022-12-01_1703
If you want to take look at the *ctime*
path_ctime: "{{ out.files|json_query('[].[path, ctime]') }}"
give
path_ctime:
- [/tmp/test/2022-12-01_1702, 1669938403.313556]
- [/tmp/test/2022-12-01_1701, 1669938401.2335565]

Re: [ansible-project] Identify most recent directory in a directory.
Is it the shell script also be triggered via ansible? If yes then you can register the path and work with it later. If not then do you know roughly when script be triggered then can just use shell command to find the directory with created date.

[ansible-project] Identify most recent directory in a directory.
After performing a shell script, a new directory is created and I need to work with that directory, but I don't know the name. How can I get the name of the most recent directory created? The name will be formatted like 2022-12-01_1702, so the directory I need will be the last if sorted alphanumerically, if that helps. I found resources for looking at files, but not directories. If it's necessary to find this directory based on the creation date of its contents, there are files located at [dirname]/Databases/Filename.xxx Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

[ansible-project] Selectively running tasks but using static includes
This is a terrible weakness in Ansible for me. I don't want to choose between dynamic and static imports. I want to be able to do both. I want to be able to use features like --list-tasks and --list-tags but I also want to be able to selectively run tagged tasks within a role. Has anyone come up with a workaround? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Expect Prompt set to a variable in Host not working
Generally speaking, you cannot set keys anywhere in ansible to a template,
this is simply just not allowed.
As such, there really isn't a mechanism for doing this. Keys must be
hardcoded.

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Expect - Program under control has same prompt
Hi
It now partly works because you made the items of a single dict key into a
list and by doing so also quoted the value with '#' in it.
But what I meant is to have the responses itself be a list, so you can have
duplicates. I think this would look like:
responses:
- Username: sq
- Password: "SoLong>"
- BASE\>: "w ##Class(websys).test()"
- BASE\>: "H"
- BASE1>: "foo"
- BASE1>: "bar"
- BASE1>: "bz"
- BASE2>: "fog"
- BASE2>: "fbzhy33"
- BASE1>: "bar"
etc

[ansible-project] Ansible Expect Prompt set to a variable in Host not working
Hi,
I'm trying to set Ansible Expect prompt to a variable in host file.
However this does not work.
You can see that Ansible is not sending a response to the prompt.
The prompt is defined as the contents of a variable declared in host file.
Can someone see what is wrong?
===
This is the host file:
[trak]
BASE prompt="BASE\>"
This is the Ansible playbook:
---
- name: Test a conversation
hosts: BASE
remote_user: root
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Copy script converse.py
copy: src=/home/converse.py
dest=/home/converse.py
remote_src=no
mode=preserve
- name: Run test session
expect:
echo: yes
chdir: /tmp
command: python3 /home/converse.py
timeout: "300"
responses:
Username: sq
Password: "MeMe"
"{{hostvars[inventory_hostname].prompt}}": ["w
##Class(websys).test()","H"]
register: command_output
- debug:
msg: "{{ command_output.stdout.split('\n') }}"
This is the result:
# ansible-playbook test-converse.yml
PLAY [Test a conversation]
TASK [Copy script converse.py]
changed: [BASE]
TASK [Run test session]
***
fatal: [BASE]: FAILED! =>

[ansible-project] How to Downgrade RHSA Security Patch with Playbook
Hi, after install a RHSA security patch, I want to downgrade it with an ansible's playbook. How to do this? Because I know that yum can downgrade package with the package's name or history ID, but if i want downgrade without know ID or package that RHSA have installed?
