failed: set global app version

[kmptkp]

While installing erlang and elixir, the role never gets past the step TASK [asdf : set global app versions]

The error is:

failed: [lxd] (item={'name': 'erlang', 'versions': ['25.1']}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": true, "cmd": ["bash", "-lc", "source /etc/profile.d/asdf.sh && asdf global erlang 25.1"], "delta": "0:00:00.182398", "end": "2022-12-07 19:43:49.179097", "item": {"name": "erlang", "versions": ["25.1"]}, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2022-12-07 19:43:48.996699", "stderr": "/home/foo/.asdf/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 67: /home/foo//home/foo/.tool-versions: No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["/home/foo/.asdf/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 67: /home/foo//home/foo/.tool-versions: No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

failed: [lxd] (item={'name': 'elixir', 'versions': ['1.14']}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": true, "cmd": ["bash", "-lc", "source /etc/profile.d/asdf.sh && asdf global elixir 1.14"], "delta": "0:00:00.151380", "end": "2022-12-07 19:43:49.384590", "item": {"name": "elixir", "versions": ["1.14"]}, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2022-12-07 19:43:49.233210", "stderr": "/home/foo/.asdf/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 67: /home/foo//home/foo/.tool-versions: No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["/home/foo/.asdf/lib/functions/versions.bash: line 67: /home/foo//home/foo/.tool-versions: No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

Notice the doubling of the path in /home/foo//home/foo/.tool-versions. This may (or may not!) be related to the fact that export ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME="/home/foo/.tool-versions" gets written to /etc/profile.d/asdf.sh (whereas the var name suggests that it should be ASDF_DEFAULT_TOOL_VERSIONS_FILENAME=".tool-versions", thereby triggering the path-doubling). Changing that manually doesn't help as it gets overwritten on every ansible run.

The relevant part of my vars section:

asdf_user: foo
asdf_group: foo
asdf_version: "v0.10.2"
asdf_plugins:
  - name: erlang
    versions: ["25.1"]
    global: "25.1"
  - name: elixir
    versions: ["1.14"]
    global: "1.14"

Note that it uses asdf v0.10.2 versus v0.8.1 in defaults/main.yml.

Finally the role is just called with the role name (and works fine until the task setting globals), nothing special to show.

Indeed this issue is fixed by changing the task from:

- name: "set asdf_default_tool_versions_file based on home directory"
  set_fact:
    asdf_default_tool_versions_file: "{{ getent_passwd[asdf_user][4] }}/.tool-versions"
  when: asdf_dir is undefined and asdf_default_tool_versions_file is undefined

to

- name: "set asdf_default_tool_versions_file based on home directory"
  set_fact:
    asdf_default_tool_versions_file: ".tool-versions"
  when: asdf_dir is undefined and asdf_default_tool_versions_file is undefined

I'm not sure sure how this changes affects the v0.8-based versions, and it is a trivial 1-line change, so I haven't made a PR for now.

FYI, from asdf v0.10.2, this file was added :

https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/blob/v0.10.2/lib/functions/versions.bash

and line 23, for global command, they force the use of $HOME.
