Running playbook in DEBUG fails on localhost ssh connection

[jkovacs-hwx]

I tried to run the playbook in DEBUG mode and found that a local ssh connection failed: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,password)

Turned out that in cloudera-deploy ~/.ssh is mounted under /home/runner/.ssh and HOME is set to be /home/runner… but in debug mode some bits still depend on /root/.ssh/. Copying content from /home/runner/.ssh/ to /root/.ssh/ solved these issues.

rn_content=True, url_username={{ parcel_repo_username | default(omit) }}, url_password={{ parcel_repo_password | default(omit) }}] ***

How did you run "debug" mode?

Can't remember if it was with ANSIBLE_DEBUG=true and/or with ANSIBLE_ENABLE_TASK_DEBUGGER=true
