Hi,
I'm testing a playbook by running it against localhost, and am getting a
really bizarre error from the syncronize module. I am connecting back to
localhost via ssh with a deployer user, which has the correct permissions.
Playbook:
- name: Deploy to servers
hosts: cron
remote_user: "{{ remote_user }}"
roles:
- role: deploy
roles/deploy/main.yml
---
- name: Make directory
file:
path: "{{ release_dir }}"
state: directory
group: www-data
- name: Copy source to server
synchronize:
src: "{{ deploy_dir }}"
dest: "{{ release_dir }}"
recursive: true
the variable remote_user in this case is changed depending on the host, and
is set to deployer on localhost:
local.hosts
[localhost]
localhost ansible_ssh_user=deployer
[cron]
localhost
Output:
[snip]
TASK: [deploy | Make directory] ****************************************
<localhost> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: deployer
<localhost> REMOTE_MODULE file group=www-data state=directory path=/var/www/
release/

fatal: [localhost] => SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection
. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH
debugging output to help diagnose the issue
Running the exact same playbook against a non-localhost host works fine.
The issue seems to be that the SSH user is being changed for JUST this one
task.
TASK: [deploy | Copy source to server]
****************************************
<127.0.0.1> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: www-data
I do not have a host called 127.0.0.1 in my inventory file (it's called
localhost), so the ssh user is falling back to the remote_user defined in
group_vars/all (www-data). Explicitly setting remote_user: deployer on the
play makes it work.
Seems strange to me that a single task can run as a different user to the
rest of the tasks in the play.
Is this a bug with Synchronize? A bug with Ansible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Cameron
