Thanks a lot for info! I closed the community.general issue

I'm not sure from the code of the fix: at this moment i made the things work
by removing quotes, after the fix will be apply, should i expect any kind of 
breakage
because of lack of quotes?

Thanks a lot!

The problem is [' and ']. They can't be part pf the folder name.

FWIW, convert the string to a list

gives

Re: [ansible-project] Trying to replace single quote with regex_replace

2024-01-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project 
In plain terms it is really this:

[[]']

The outside square brackets define a character set. The characters in between 
mean "any of these".

Since square brackets define a character set we have to escape the inside 
square brackets to be see as characters in the set.

[\[\]']

Since this is ansible we have to escape the backslashes.

[\\[\\]']

You could place any characters in that set. The regex matches *any* of them any 
number of times.

For example I could use [walter] and it would look for any of those characters.

You also can use ranges like [a-dv-z]. This all follows Python regex rules.

Escaping the double quotes that define the search regex gets around needing to 
escape the single quote. Also note that I collapsed your search into a single 
character set.

Previous to my having employed regex_replace, this is the output I'd get, e.g.,

The problem with that is [' and ']. They can't be part pf the folder name. 
After employing regex-replace, the output is:

Re: [ansible-project] Trying to replace single quote with regex_replace

2024-01-10 Thread 'Rowe, Walter P. (Fed)' via Ansible Project 
Have you tried:

regex_replace('(\\[)|(\\])|(\\')', '')

Previous to my having employed regex_replace, this is the output I'd get, e.g., 
for a vm's folder:

"['/First Datacenter/vm/Prod-SRM']"

The problem with that is [' and ']. They can't be part pf the folder name. 
After employing regex-replace, the output is:

" '/Bedford Datacenter/vm/Bedford-Prod-SRM' "

Try as I may, I've not been able to find a way to also remove the single quotes 
(the double quotes can remain). I've tried appending to the regex_replace, but 
every piece of code i've used has failed.

regex_replace('(\\[)|(\\])'|(addlcodehere),  '') }}

[ansible-project] ansible.builtin.user :: input password appears not to have been hashed

2024-01-10 Thread Adrian Sevcenco 

Hi! I'm trying to sync users from a "frontend" type server
to compute nodes and for this i build a var yml with the information
including the hash of the passwords (provided by spwd module attribute sp_pwdp)
sp_pwdp is described here as Encrypted password, see 
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/spwd.html#module-spwd

as such i used it in ansible.builtin.user in the 'password' attribute but i get:
[WARNING]: The input password appears not to have been hashed. The 'password' argument must be encrypted for this module 
to work properly.


from a --check run the issue seems to be from nfsnobody user that have the 
bellow information
but the problem seems to come from 'hash': '!!'

Any idea what can i do to fix this? or being a warning i can just ignore it?

Thanks a lot!!
Adrian

What was updated? Homebrew? or ansible? or both? or?
Also, homebrew isn't listed as an installation method on
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html
.
I would recommend picking an installation method from there.
