.bashrc generation tasks problem

[scicco]

Hello,

i'm finding a strange issue with stat tasks inside bashrc.yml

my local configuration

$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.14.4]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/Users/myuser/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/myuser/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /opt/homebrew/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.11.3 (main, Apr  7 2023, 21:05:46) [Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)] (/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

# ansible-galaxy --version
ansible-galaxy [core 2.14.4]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/Users/myuser/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/myuser/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /opt/homebrew/bin/ansible-galaxy
  python version = 3.11.3 (main, Apr  7 2023, 21:05:46) [Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)] (/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

$ ansible-galaxy list | grep docker_rootless
- konstruktoid.docker_rootless, v0.15.0

The destination server configuration:

# uname -a
Linux <XXXX> 5.15.0-70-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 21 14:02:37 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS"

# python3 --version
Python 3.10.6

this is my role task content:

...
- name: Install Docker rootless
  include_role:
    name: konstruktoid.docker_rootless
  vars:
    docker_user: "{{ provisioning_username | mandatory }}"
    docker_compose: true
    docker_user_bashrc: true
...

this is the command output of

ansible-playbook -u root -i inventories/test/hosts webserver.yml -vvv --extra-vars "var_files_path=./inventories/test/host_vars/default.yml"

I'm connecting as root to the server. The {{provisioning_username}} variable is "deployer" which was created in a previous task

command output:

...
...

    },

    }
}

}

The previous times I used my procedure ran smoothly, in particular the docker rootless installation part, based on your awesome project.

What's wrong this time?

Thank you in advance

Hi @scicco, and thanks for the kind words.

I haven't seen this behaviour before, so I'll have to run some tests.

I'll reply as soon as possible.

[scicco]

thank you @konstruktoid. Meanwhile, I was able to proceed by changing this line in https://github.com/konstruktoid/ansible-role-docker-rootless/blob/09587a76b68d5028d28d39cc53c4d1d9dd52eeca/tasks/bashrc.yml#L17

in:

when: not docker_user_bashrc

but it still seems strange to me

[konstruktoid]

Thanks for testing, I haven't gotten around to proper test this issue as you've noticed.

Seems it should return the same result?

But I'll have a look.

[konstruktoid]

Sorry for the delay, but I can't reproduce this.

I am having the same issue.
