Hi all,
In a role I have, I'm including another file in the role, and setting a
variable in the include statement. Then from the included file, I'm
notifying a handler in that role. Should the handler be able to access the
variable in the include? Right now it does not seem to be able to. A sim
I know this has come up before, but I've not come across a real answer for
it.
It's common for a given host to depend on other hosts. App servers need to
know the IP of databases they consume, databases need to know IPs of app
servers that will be accessing them etc etc. In Ansible, the IP of o
As I have separate "staging" and "production" inventory files, I end up
duplicating some group compositions (e.g. databases:children is
mysql:children and redis:children, that kind of thing). I'm wondering if
there's a way to consolidate that logic, such as a directive to include a
file. Or may
I'm trying to set up some simple validation tests to run on pull requests to
one of our playbook repos. In doing this I've discovered that vars_prompt is
still being triggered. This is blocking the --syntax-check run from completing
unattended.
Is this by design? Is there anybody out there work
That issue is fixed in another pull request which is waiting to be merged:

I have some sample plays that show how to wait for RackConnect automation
and the Managed Cloud automation to complete before moving on. I haven't
gotten around to adding it to the Rackspace guide, but hope to do so soon.
You can see those sample playbooks:

Hi All,
My Rackspace cloud servers are under managed services and under RackConnect
services. This means than when they are built, first 2 other scripts need
to run before I can actually use the server to provision it.
The peculiar thing is that during the RackConnect script the public ip of

Did you download a role from Galaxy or somewhere else? From the output of
the error, it looks like somewhere in your play this appears:
{{ lookup('pipe','some_executable_name_here') }}
So you may want to grep for 'lookup' or 'pipe' in your files.

Correct, the warning message can be ignored, and there is a configuration
setting (system_warnings in your ansible.cfg) that can be set to "False" to
disable it.

to call via the pipe lookup is not being found at the path spe
Thanks for your response. Sorry for not being sure... But you're saying
I'm calling an executable via a pipe lookup ... And I have no idea what
that means. I'm certainly not doing it intentionally. You ask me to

We don't include the inventory scripts in the distribution currently, so
downloading the ec2.py from github is normally the way to do it (which is
where the link in the docs points you). So I'm not sure why the version
from the repo would be any different than when you cloned the repo.

A couple errors have recently cropped up when using Ansible, and the latest

I have to agree with Brian – sounds like you are not breaking your problem down
into simple enough parts.
The problem with Ansible (and other similar config management / state
management tools) is that most people (well, at least me) come in thinking one
way about their requirements which isn’t
roles are there to make reusable units of non trivial set of tasks,
sometimes its just easier to create a simple tasklist and use include:.
If it is becoming 'painful' its a sign of trying to put square peg in round
hole. Ansible is designed to be simple, also it is very flexible and can be
used i
ansible works with 2.7 no need for extra json install, simplejson is
recommended when using earlier python versions.

Recently I have changed my Ansible set-up based on roles. I have a very
similar dependency structure as yours:
host1 -> profile1, profile2
host2 -> profile2, profile3
profile1 -> state1, state2
profile2 -> state2, state3
...
Both profiles and states are roles, but I separate them into two roles
Hi
Thanks for the comments. It would help tho, if I had explained the issue in
a coherent way. :(
Let me rephrase:
I still got a service to install.
But it's in a bunch of boxes that we'll call 'client-group' (client1,
client2...).
I still got a 'master' box that needs to be contacted for each
Hi,
this is probably easy but I cannot figure out how to do this with Ansible:
- some task that registers variable x
- some task that registers variable y
- some task that registers variable z
- register a variable 'a' for which holds: if x == True, a=y, else, a=z
- some task that uses a
