Re: [ansible-project] Module Suffix's and custom windows modules

I have an idea what's causing the problem, no fix yet. For now, you can define your tasks as follows and it will work: - name: install packages action: module: win_exe exe: 'C:\Users\admin_user\Downloads\myapp.exe' ArgumentList: '/w /S /v"/l*v \"C:\Users\admin_user\AppData\Local\Tem

Re: [ansible-project] Module Suffix's and custom windows modules

It should work without the suffix. However, I'm seeing the same issue with 1.8, 1.8.1 and 1.8.2. In my case, it works when using ansible to run an adhoc command, but not ansible-playbook: ansible -i inventory --module-path modules -m win_exe I'll see if I can figure out what's going on... On

It looks like you are trying to dynamically include a task file. I am pretty sure that is not possible. You can only dynamically include vars files. I have always seen includes coupled with when statements when you need to conditionally include a task file. If you want to run multiple sets of

Can not. This a battle that has come up before. Although it's a very different tool, I know that Capistrano I can override how it calls certain shell commands. Is such a thing possible in Ansible? If so, I could just turn all use of "su" into "sudo su" On Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 5:46:44 PM
