[ansible-project] Re: Trying to hack a module, but external dependency cannot be found despite being installed

[Simon Wydooghe]

So, I found the problem. Actually, I'm not sure if it's a problem or 
desired behaviour :)

When I run 'source hacking/env-setup', the PYTHONPATH environmental 
variable gets set to the 'lib' directory in the ansible repository used for 
development. This directory however does not contain the external Python 
dependencies (installed with pip) which are installed in 
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages. If a PYTHONPATH environmental variable is 
defined before running 'source hacking/env-setup' however, this original 
path is prepended to the new PYTHONPATH. So, I'm now simply 
exporting PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages before I run 
env-setup and all is well. I can now use test-module to test modules that 
rely on external dependencies.

Hopefully this is useful to somebody in a similar situation. Feel free to 
let me know if I'm overlooking something and made this more difficult than 
necessary.

Regards,
Simon

[ansible-project] Right way to wait for service start

[Mumshad Mannambeth]

Hi,

I would like to restart a server and wait till the services start up. I can 
us the wait_for module to wait for ports to be up, but how can I wait for 
the services to be up? The service modules seem to start,stop or restart 
service, but I don't want to do any of these operations. Only wait till 
services are up. On linux I am able to run a command and loop until it 
returns true. But is there a direct support for this in Ansible or the 
Services module?

Thanks

We're just using the stock ec2 and ubuntu mirrors. Running apt directly on

Re: [ansible-project] Re: Problems with Solaris 8 & 9 in Ansible 2.2.0.0

[Daniel Delin]

Also tested on a bare metal Solaris 8 machine, and it has the same 
problems, so it does not seem to be related to the zones.
Maybe I should file a proper bug report, but since I´m new to Ansible I 
want to rule out my incompetence as the cause first.

[ansible-project] Re: Global variable to pas dynamic data between plays with different hosts

[Pieter Voet]

OK, so I looked at Ansible's code, and I now know how to implement this.   
I tried my modification locally and
it works fine.  It basically adds a module that adds an 'extra_vars' 
 variable if it does not yet exist.
That way, any variable set on the commandline using the '--extra-vars' 
 argument cannot be overruled by the 
playbook.

Now this scenario works :

Inventory :
 group_all = { host_1, host_2, host_3 }
 group_one = { host_1 }
 group_two = { host_2, host3 }


Playbook 'my_playbook.yml' :

---
- hosts: group_one
  tasks:
  - name: list /tmp
shell: ls /tmp
register: out

  - name: set global variable
setglobal: name=myvar value="{{out}}"

- hosts: group_two
  tasks:
  - debug: msg="{{myvar}}"


command :  'ansible-playbook  my_playbook.yml --limit group_all'


Anyone interested in this modification ?  I can create a pull request...

[ansible-project] with_dict and with_items together in ansible task

[Deepa Yr]

Hi

  My requirement is to install multiple patches on different 
machines based on which all tiers the patch is supported for install. Say 
patch1 should be installed on client group and service group, patch2 should 
be installed on client group and database group machines.

- name: Install patch on services tier
  include: roles/common/tasks/install_patch_services.yml
  when: ({{item.value.services_repo}} == True)
  with_dict: "{{patches_dict}}"
  delegate_to: "{{ groups.is_services[0] }}"

Here I am using dict to traverse through all patches and install on 
different groups.
If there are multiple hosts in a group, how can I write a task? It should 
consider patch1 install on services[0], services[1] and patch2 on 
services[0],services[1] and so on..

Please provide your inputs how it can be achieved ?
