Re: [ansible-project] How can I pass variables to command module's argv parameter in Ansible?

2023-03-02 Thread tariver 16

I've opened an issue at Ansible GitHub and got explained how argv parameter 
works.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/79967

Summary:
This happens because of how module and redis-cli utility work with 
arguments.
When passing arguments this modules delimits them with single quotation 
marks, so
- name: Create Redis cluster
  ansible.builtin.command:
argv:
  - /usr/bin/redis-cli
  - "--user {{ redis_admin_user }}"
  - "--pass {{ redis_admin_password }}"
  - "--cluster create {{ redis_cluster_members }}"
  - "--cluster-replicas {{ redis_cluster_replicas }}"
  - --cluster-yes

is passed as (mind the quotation marks)
/usr/bin/redis-cli '--user admin' '--pass mypass' '--cluster create 
10.226.2.194:6379 10.226.2.196:6379 10.226.2.195:6379' '--cluster-replicas 
1' '--cluster-yes'

If you enter this command directly into command line you'll get the same 
error - "Unrecognized option or bad number of args for: '--user admin'".

This is because, quoting redis-cli documentation 
(https://redis.io/docs/ui/cli/#string-quoting-and-escaping),
> When redis-cli parses a command, whitespace characters automatically 
delimit the arguments. 

So the correct way to pass this command will be (mind the quotation marks)
/usr/bin/redis-cli '--user' 'admin' '--pass' 'mypass' '--cluster' 'create ' 
'10.226.2.194:6379' '10.226.2.196:6379' '10.226.2.195:6379' 
'--cluster-replicas' '1' '--cluster-yes' 

So I did a workaround constructing the command as a variable in 
vars/main.yml and then passing it to the module (I'm going to post it on 
stackoverflow).

I had a problem similar to this once. Your redis command might be getting your 
cluster members as a single string vs separate ip:port args.

A bit condensed version:
I'm trying to write a role that creates a Redis cluster. At some point I must 
execute redis-cli binary with some parameters:

/usr/bin/redis-cli --user admin --pass mypass --cluster create 
10.226.2.194:6379
 
10.226.2.196:6379

I pass all the required parameters as extra variables when I call the playbook

Asked it on 
stackoverflow,
 but didn't get an answer, so I'm trying my luck here.

A bit condensed version:
I'm trying to write a role that creates a Redis cluster. At some point I must 
execute redis-cli binary with some parameters:

/usr/bin/redis-cli --user admin --pass mypass --cluster create 
10.226.2.194:6379 10.226.2.196:6379 10.226.2.195:6379 --cluster-replicas 1 
--cluster-yes

I pass all the required parameters as extra variables when I call the playbook 
with a shell script:

#!/bin/sh ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/playbook-redis.yml -vv \
--extra-vars='redis_admin_user=admin redis_admin_password=mypass' \
--extra-vars='redis_cluster_members="10.226.2.194:6379 10.226.2.196:6379 
10.226.2.195:6379" redis_cluster_replicas=1'

At first I tried the following:

- name: Create Redis cluster
  ansible.builtin.command:
argv:
  - /usr/bin/redis-cli
  - "--user {{ redis_admin_user }}"
  - "--pass {{ redis_admin_password }}"
  - "--cluster create {{ redis_cluster_members }}"
  - "--cluster-replicas {{ redis_cluster_replicas }}"
  - --cluster-yes

And got error "Unrecognized option or bad number of args for: '--user admin'" 
which is a redis-cli error.

After some experimenting I found out that if I pass the variables in a separate 
line some of them work. So this task works and returns info about server.

- name: Get server info
  ansible.builtin.command:
argv:
  - /usr/bin/redis-cli
  - --user
  - "{{ redis_admin_user }}"
  - --pass
  - "{{ redis_admin_password }}"
  - info

So the username and password are recognized be redis-cli, but, unfortunately 
not the "redis_cluster_members". The following task:

- name: Create Redis cluster
  ansible.builtin.command:
argv:
  - /usr/bin/redis-cli
  - --user
  - "{{ redis_admin_user }}"
  - --pass
  - "{{ redis_admin_password }}"
  - --cluster create
  - "{{ redis_cluster_members }}"
  - --cluster-replicas
  - "{{ redis_cluster_replicas }}"
  - --cluster-yes

returns error "Unrecognized option or bad number of args for: '--cluster 
create'"

I wonder if I'm missing some syntax error or misread the documentation and 
trying to use argv not the way it's supposed to be used?
