Synchronize module throws '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' when using password authentication

[lucas-benedito]

SUMMARY

In Ansible 2.9.11 running on rhel 8, synchronize module fails to transfer with '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' in similar fashion as in #56629. All suggestions from the previous issue were followed and i was unable to solve it. The only way to avoid the issue is to use ssh-key based connection as it doesn't use sshpass.

Hello! Thank you for the bug report. Using Ansible version 2.9.13 with the ansible.posix collection version 1.1.1 I'm not able to reproduce this issue, is there any more information that you could provide that might help me reproduce this locally in order to fix the issue?

[lucas-benedito]

Hello, The issue is only reproducible in RHEL8 servers and the playbook was used as mentioned in the example, using the synchronize module existent in the installation. Also, the issue only happens when using ssh password but works successfully when using ssh-key.

[gundalow]

@lucas-benedito Thank you for the feedback. Seems like there are a few variables at play

Does it fail on non RHEL8 machines with ssh password?

[lucas-benedito]

@gundalow from the tests performed I was only able to reproduce it in RHEL8.

[saito-hideki]

Hi @lucas-benedito :) I have replicated a similar issue on the following test environment(2.9.11,2.9.27 and 2.12.0 on RHEL8.5):

Environment:

Control Node: server10 (RHEL8.5) ansible(2.9.11, 2.9.27 and 2.12.0), sshpass, rsync
Managed Node: server11 (RHEL8.5) rsync
Delegate To:  server12 (RHEL8.5) rsync

Playbook(issue_89.yml):

---
- name: Sync between servers
  hosts: issue_89
  tasks:
  - file:
      path: /tmp/testdir
      state: absent

Once I installed sshpass to delegate_to host server12, it worked without errors. So if it is possible, can you re-confirm that sshpass package has already been installed to your delegatet_to host or not?

I can reproduce this on OSX running ansible.posix.synchronize against a raspberry pi

I am using ssh password auth with paramiko

ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yaml -c paramiko --ask-pass

Workaround

Don't use password based authentication. Either install sshpass or setup ssh keys with ssh-copy-id

[macau23]

I had the same problem (and workaround) - but is there a way to tell Ansible in the playbook to re-establish the ssh connection (without ask-pass) after the key has been written?

[sugitk]

I also reproduced this issue against RHEL 7.6 as well.
