I have an issue running an Ansible playbook with a set of private roles (that is, Ansible roles in a private git repository).
For example, I have a playbook that uses the role base which depends on dep, both of which are hosted in private git repositories. Running ansible-galaxy fetches and installs all roles and dependencies as it should, but later ansible-playbook fails at using the correct role name.
play.yml
- hosts: test
roles:
- role: base
requirements.yml
- name: base
src: ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-base.git
scm: git
role-base/meta/main.yml
galaxy-info:
author: Me
description: Test Ansible role dependencies
min_ansible_version: 1.9
platforms: Ubuntu
dependencies:
- name: dep
src: ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git
scm: git
$ ansible-galaxy -r requirements.yml
- executing: git clone ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-base.git base
- executing: git archive --prefix=base/ --output=/tmp/tmp4YKG7a.tar
- extracting base to ansible-roles/base
- base was installed successfully
- adding dependency: dep
- executing: git clone ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git dep
- executing: git archive --prefix=dep/ --output=/tmp/tmpT2YiW4.tar
- extracting base to ansible-roles/dep
- dep was installed successfully
$ ansible-playbook play.yml
ERROR: expected a role name in dictionary: {'scm': 'git', 'src': 'ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git', 'name': 'dep'}
I tried using the alternative role-name system as the dependency:
dependencies:
- role: "git+ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git,,dep"
Which is fine for ansible-galaxy but still ansible-playbook fails...
$ ansible-galaxy -r requirements.yml
- executing: git clone ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-base.git base
- executing: git archive --prefix=base/ --output=/tmp/tmpTcvpDu.tar
- extracting base to ansible-roles/base
- base was installed successfully
- adding dependency: dep
- executing: git clone ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git dep
- executing: git archive --prefix=dep/ --output=/tmp/tmpd726OV.tar
- extracting base to ansible-roles/dep
- dep was installed successfully
$ ansible-playbook play.yml
ERROR: cannot find role in <pwd>/roles/git+ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git,,dep or <pwd>/git+ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git,,dep or <pwd>/ansible-roles/git+ssh://[email protected]/ansible/role-dep.git,,dep
Is there a way to use role dependencies from private repos correctly?
