[ansible-project] Re: Execute the ipaddr filter after installation

[Jack Ivanov]

No, this is not the case, I'm running the playbook on localhost and 
deploying to localhost. The problem is that python is not reloading the 
cache for each task.

[ansible-project] Execute the ipaddr filter after installation

[David Rojas]

You are installing it on the target device but it needs to be installed on the 
absolve engine node basically where you are running your playbook from. Just do 
a pip install for that module once then rerun your playbook but take out that 
pip install not needed on your target

This is beyond the scope of ansible. You should have the rescue block do what 
is necessary to recover from your SQL script, or use something like a SQL 
transaction, but, again, it's beyond the scope of ansible.

Hey,

It is really very interesting this section rescue but if in my block I 
execute for example a script sql which does a lot of actions and that there 
is an error ...

So what to put in the rescue section?

Thanks for your help ! :)

[ansible-project] Re: Rollback in Ansible ?

['Eric Hymowitz' via Ansible Project]

The problem you have is that ansible does not retain the old state of the 
machine when it makes changes.  The fact that you executed the command 
"touch test_file.txt" does not indicate whether test_file.txt did or did 
not exist prior to running the command.  So to "roll back", do you erase 
the file?  Change the date-stamp back to what it was?

Probably the closest thing you will find is a "block" with a "rescue" 
section attached, to specify what you want to happen in the event of an 
error.

[ansible-project] Sorting dicts in lists - works different between my machine and others

[Jon Spriggs]

Hi,

I have a variable which is a list (sourced from registering the response
from a 3rd party module). In that list, each item is a dict, as follows:

[
  {'policyid': '1009', 'other': 'content'},
  {'policyid': '2019', 'other': 'content'},
  {'policyid': '1024', 'other': 'content'},
  {'policyid': '1000', 'other': 'content'},
  {'policyid': '8732', 'other': 'content'},
  {'policyid': '1012', 'other': 'content'}
]

I have some code that works locally on my machine:

- name: sort policy
  set_fact:
desired_policy: |
  [
{% for policy in fwpolicy.meta.results | sort(attribute='policyid')
%}
  {
'rule': '{{ policy.policyid }}',
'after': '{{ (loop.previtem | default({}) )['policyid'] |
default(0) }}',
'before': '{{ (loop.nextitem | default({}) )['policyid'] |
default(0) }}'
  },
{% endfor %}
  ]

When I run this on my machine, I get the following list:

[
  {'policyid': '1000', 'after': 0, 'before': 1009},
  {'policyid': '1009' , 'after': 1000, 'before': 1012},
  {'policyid': '1012' , 'after': 1009, 'before': 1024},
  {'policyid': '1024' , 'after': 1012, 'before': 2019},
  {'policyid': '2019' , 'after': 1024, 'before': 8732},
  {'policyid': '8732' , 'after': 2019, 'before': 0}
]

On my colleague's machine (and on AWX for that matter), I get:

[
  {'policyid': '1000', 'after': 0, 'before': 0},
  {'policyid': '1009' , 'after': 0, 'before': 0},
  {'policyid': '1012' , 'after': 0, 'before': 0},
  {'policyid': '1024' , 'after': 0, 'before': 0},
  {'policyid': '2019' , 'after': 0, 'before': 0},
  {'policyid': '8732' , 'after': 0, 'before': 0}
]

Am I doing something wrong, and should I be doing something differently?

[ansible-project] Execute the ipaddr filter after installation

[Evgeniy Ivanov]

Hi there, 

I've got a problem with the ipaddr filter. It doesn't seem to be loaded 
after installed in the same playbook:

example:

- pip: name=netaddr state=latest

- debug: msg="{{ '192.0.2.0' | ipaddr }}"

gives an error:

TASK [debug] 
>> ***
>
> fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The ipaddr filter requires 
>> python-netaddr be installed on the ansible controller"}
>
>
It seems that netaddr  should be in the system before evoking ansible.

Is there any workaround to load the filter in the same playbook?

Thanks!

Re: [ansible-project] ansible_python_interpreter facts.d

[Brian Coca]

Ansible does not handle the 'interpreter' for facts.d scripts, it just
executes them, so you should be able to control the 'python used' by
altering the shebang.

You can write rollback tasks in a `rescue` section, followed by a fail task, 
but there is no automatic rollback functionality unless you write it yourself.

[ansible-project] Configuring Management Jobs

[Mayank Kumar]

Hi All,
Is there any way we can make changes in Management Jobs for ansible from 
config files?
For example, I want to put "*Cleanup Activity Stream" *as 45 days but I am 
wondering if I can achieve it via some any config file instead of UI.
This is because we want to set up multiple Ansible Towers and want to avoid 
making same "cleanup activity stream" changes across all tower.


Thanks
Mayank

Hello Ryad,

what do you have in mind for the rollback for this task. Usually, if "touch" 
fails nothing changes on the target
system.

That looks like it applies for a very specific use case.

This could work, but only if there is no such group. When the group exists, 
but its empty, it throws error.

You should be able to use: groups.examples.0 | default(...)

This is the one case where dot notation is simpler/better :)

I suppose you have to accommodate the case where there is no examples entry in 
"groups" (untested):

{% if 'examples' in groups %}groups['examples'][0] | default('localhost'){% 
else %}localhost{% endif %}
