Re: [ansible-project] Expect still prompting to continue

Also note they specifically tell the shell module that expect is the executable. See blue bold text below. - name: Run expect to wait for a successful PXE boot via out-of-band CIMC ansible.builtin.shell: | set timeout 300 spawn ssh admin@{{ cimc_host }} expect "password:" send
