I'm have a box that uses ansible_local provisioning, which is defined in
the Vagrant file included with the box:
config.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
ansible_root = "/home/vagrant/provision"
ansible.provisioning_path = ansible_root
ansible.playbook = "#{ansible_root}/playbook.yml"
end
This works, but now I need to pass a variable to Ansible while provisioning
a specific machine, i.e. I need to override the default provisioning
settings.
At first I tried this (in the local Vagrantfile, which should override
values in the box's Vagrantfile):
config.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
ansible.extra_vars = {"develop_mode": true}
end
This is no good, because Vagrant replaces the entire provision block
instead of merging, and then complains that there's no playbook path
defined. Let's try this:
config.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
ansible_root = "/home/vagrant/provision"
ansible.provisioning_path = ansible_root
ansible.playbook = "#{ansible_root}/playbook.yml"
ansible.extra_vars = {"develop_mode": true}
end
Now, Vagrant can run the provisioner, but the `develop_mode` variable
doesn't get set correctly. This is the output from Ansible:
TASK: [build | debug ] **************************************************
ok: [default] => {
"var": {
"develop_mode": "develop_mode"
}
}
There are a couple of Vagrant 1.8.1 bugs
<https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6726> about this, so here's a
suggested workaround (using `raw_arguments` instead of `extra_vars`):
config.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
ansible_root = "/home/vagrant/provision"
ansible.provisioning_path = ansible_root
ansible.playbook = "#{ansible_root}/playbook.yml"
ansible.raw_arguments = ["--extra-vars", "develop_mode=true"]
end
Still no good, same Ansible output as before:
TASK: [build | debug ] **************************************************
ok: [default] => {
"var": {
"develop_mode": "develop_mode"
}
}
Maybe I need to use an override in the local Vagrantfile?
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox, override|
override.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
ansible_root = "/home/vagrant/provision"
ansible.provisioning_path = ansible_root
ansible.playbook = "#{ansible_root}/playbook.yml"
ansible.raw_arguments = ["--extra-vars", "'develop_mode=true'"]
end
end
No, still the same Ansible output as before. Is there a way to do what I'm
trying to do?
FYI, here's the expected output as generated from running
`ansible-playbook` directly on the VM:
TASK: [build | debug ] **************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"var": {
"develop_mode": "true"
}
}
