Hi,
Noticed that a few of our playbooks failed to run on AIX after trying to
move from 2.7.10 to 2.8.4
I´ve tracked it down to handling of the ansible_distribution_major_version
fact.
*We include variables in the playbooks like this:*
- name: Include OP5 varibles.
include_vars: "{{ item }}"
with_first_found:
- "{{ ansible_distribution }}{{ ansible_distribution_major_version
}}.yml"
- "other_os.yml"
This fails in 2.8 since the file supposed to be included is named AIX5.yml
, but in 2.8 the variable is set to "5.3"
*If I check the fact cache file it looks like this on both 2.7.10 and
2.8.4, which seems correct:*
"ansible_distribution": "AIX",
* "ansible_distribution_major_version": "5", *
"ansible_distribution_release": "3",
"ansible_distribution_version": "5.3",
*However, if I debug the variables in the playbook, major version is wrong
when running 2.8.4, which makes the import of our variable file fail:*
TASK [op5 : debug]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [xxxx.xxxx.xxxx] => {
"ansible_distribution": "AIX"
}
TASK [op5 : debug]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [xxxx.xxxx.xxxx] => {
*"ansible_distribution_major_version": "5.3"*
Could this be a bug ? It doesn´t seem correct that the facts differ from
the debug.
