Just built and installed ansible-1.5-0.git201312162123.fc20.noarch.rpm
ssh-alt Running well except Hitting the following issue:
ignore-errors in loop are failing with ssh_alt
The test I did with ssh_alt during its development was not showing the
issue.
How to reproduce:
have a Play with one task like:
- name: Make sure the following services are turned off
service: name={{ item }} enabled=no state=stopped
with_items: disabled_services_list_var
ignore_errors: True
tags:
- service_disable
and a variable like
disabled_services_list_var:
- 'blk-availability'
- 'certmonger'
- 'cpuspeed'
Note: that certmonger rpm is not installed in the target system
run the play with -c ssh_alt gives:
TASK: [Make sure the following services are turned off]
***********************
changed: [targetsystem] => (item=blk-availability)
fatal: [targetsystem] => SSH Error: data could not be sent to the remote
host. Make sure this host can be reached over ssh
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
running without ssh_alt gives:
TASK: [Make sure the following services are turned off]
***********************
changed: [targetsystem] => (item=blk-availability)
failed: [targetsystem] => (item=certmonger) => {"failed": true, "item":
"certmonger"}
msg: cannot find 'service' binary or init script for service, possible
typo in service name?, aborting
...ignoring
ok: [targetsystem] => (item=cpuspeed)
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
targetsystem : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
