student_cli playbooks/roles not working...

[rafaeltuelho]

I was able to provision (after some hacks not documented in README :-)) the student_cli workshop but I'm not able to run the 2_configure.yml playbook.

I'm getting the following error:

TASK [subscription_manager : Add DNS entries for subscription] *************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/rsoares/workshops/RedHatGov/redhatgov.workshops/student_cli/roles/subscription_manager/tasks/main.yml:7

    "msg": "The conditional check 'prep' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (prep): 'prep' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/home/rsoares/workshops/RedHatGov/redhatgov.workshops/student_cli/roles/subscription_manager/tasks/main.yml': line 7, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n#---------------------------------------------------\n- name: Add DNS entries for subscription\n  ^ here\n"
}

PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************************************************************************
redhatgovbr.0.redhatbr.io  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

It appears some tasks on role subscription_manager references a fact named prep which is not defined anywhere...

see: https://github.com/RedHatGov/redhatgov.workshops/blob/master/student_cli/roles/subscription_manager/tasks/main.yml#L20

Can someone guide me here? Is this workshop (student_cli) still valid or I should work with another one?

The student_cli workshop isn't really a complete thing, and is scheduled for removal. What are you trying to accomplish? I might be able to suggest a better choice.

@ajacocks We was trying to use this workshop playbooks to provision VMs on EC2 to be used by students in one workshop (http://bit.ly/ocp-rhbr-workshop) we developed here in Brazil. Today we use GCE to provision thin VMs just with minimal centos. But we are planning to use EC2 like you do with redhatgov.io.
