Re: [ansible-project] replace spaces in filenames

There are accepted patches in the pipeline which add an "--all" parameter to the `rename` command, so you can replace all the spaces in one go instead of just the first one. Alas, that has not made it to a released version yet. Soon, though, I hope. On Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 4:41:27 PM UTC

Re: [ansible-project] Re: How to use include_vars with a file needing elevated privileges

As to "why the ansible team has decided that become keywords cannot affect include_vars", I rather doubt it's ever come up before. Internally, Ansible does *lots* of including/importing vars files. I imagine it evolved as a simple way to let the user pick some snowflake that wasn't one of the

@uto...@gmail.com I just need to let the user running the playbook access files which cannot be accessed to any other user (except root of course). I'm very surprised that this limitation exist with that module. @Brian Coca I just don't understand why the ansible team has decided that become ke

[ansible-project] Re: How to use include_vars with a file needing elevated privileges

Although your initial post amply demonstrates the problem you ran into, we can surmise that what you're trying to accomplish is more interesting. Can we step back a bit and maybe up to a higher level and explore your actual use case? (I have a feeling the answer is going to involve ansible-vault

[ansible-project] Re: How to use include_vars with a file needing elevated privileges

"Is usable alongside become keywords" is a description of the "becomes" attribute. The key point for your case is the red "none" in the "Support" column, which together means that no amount of "become" shenanigans is going to affect the behavior of include_vars. Interpretation of the "Attribute

Yes, I implied exactly that. I should have stated it explicitly. (Also, I think it's true, but Ansible has surprised me more than once before.) On Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 3:02:56 PM UTC-4 actionm...@gmail.com wrote: > Are you implying that it is not possible to include a vars file on the >

[ansible-project] Re: How to use include_vars with a file needing elevated privileges

The "become" bits have to do with privilege escalation for Ansible tasks that run on the target hosts. Including/importing vars and friends happen on the Ansible controller, not the target hosts. It doesn't matter that your target host and your Ansible controller are the same host. Controller bi
