Bootstrap Error

[ripclawffb]

I think I might be missing something. I get the following error during the playbook run:

TASK [robertdebock.development_environment.bootstrap : set bootstrap_ansible_user] ********************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false 
  msg: No key/value pairs provided, at least one is required for this action to succeed

I'm running the following version of Ansible:

ansible            4.3.0
ansible-core       2.11.3

I also had to modify the role names in the playbook to get this to run. See below:

  roles:
    - robertdebock.development_environment.bootstrap
    - robertdebock.development_environment.update
    - robertdebock.development_environment.fail2ban
    - robertdebock.development_environment.common
    - robertdebock.development_environment.buildtools
    - robertdebock.development_environment.epel
    - robertdebock.development_environment.python_pip
    - robertdebock.development_environment.docker
    - robertdebock.development_environment.users
    - robertdebock.development_environment.postfix
    - robertdebock.development_environment.vagrant
    - robertdebock.development_environment.investigate
    - robertdebock.development_environment.ansible
    - robertdebock.development_environment.ansible_lint
    - robertdebock.development_environment.molecule
    - robertdebock.development_environment.ara
    - robertdebock.development_environment.ruby
    - robertdebock.development_environment.travis
    - robertdebock.development_environment.git
    - robertdebock.development_environment.atom

I'm running this on a CentOS machine using the Virtualbox Vagrantfile. I had to use the fedora/32-cloud-base vagrant box because fedora/31-cloud-base no longer exists.

I updated all the files listed in the README.md. I didn't have to modify the inventory/hosts file because fedora already existed. I then ran ./playbook.yml from my host machine and got the error above. Ansible was running all the commands against the host machine and not the vagrant machine. Is that what's supposed to happen?

Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks!

Looks like I needed to update the playbook.yml with the name of the vagrant box I wanted to bootstrap. But if I wanted to bootstrap the localhost, it doesn't work with the error previously stated.

[robertdebock]

Hm, I'll have a look later, thanks for the feedback.

I got the error too somewhere, but forgot where. If I see it again, I'll try to reproduce it. I'm thinking this could be happening under specific conditions, it's not easy to reproduce.

I run ansible from a venv but have the same issue when running via apt install ansible. Not sure if this has something to do with the default ansible.cfg (or the lack of one) but when I install via:

ansible-galaxy collection install robertdebock.development_environment

all installed roles are missing the robertdebock. prefix

My quick fix is was to copy the requirements file in the roles directory and edit the name: vars

cat requirements.yml > prefixed_roles_names.yml

and then change the name: entry on each line to include the robertdebock. prefix

• src: robertdebock.ansible
  name: ansible

becomes:

• src: robertdebock.ansible
  name: robertdebock.ansible

and then

ansible-galaxy role install -r prefixed_roles_names.yml

from

~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/robertdebock/development_environment/roles

directory
