I cant create a simple .txt file using ansible.

[Muhammad Mahir]

Hello there,

I just want to test my script if it creates a simple .txt file into a destination put instead it is creating that same file into the source vm that is where the ansible is installed. 

Here is the simple script I'm running.

---

- hosts: Cassandra

  remote_user: murtaza

  connection: local

  sudo: yes

  tasks:

       - name: Create an empty file with name myfile.txt

         shell: touch myfile.txt state=touch

Output :-

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Instead of sudo/sudo_user, use become/become_user and 

make sure become_method is 'sudo' (default). This feature will be removed in 

version 2.6. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting 

deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

PLAY [Cassandra] ***************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************

ok: [10.0.0.243]

TASK [Create an empty file with name myfile.txt] *******************************

 [WARNING]: Consider using file module with state=touch rather than running

touch

changed: [10.0.0.243]

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

10.0.0.243                 : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0  

This shows that it is creating and doing the job all right. But still when I ssh into 10.0.0.243 it doesnt create any .txt file with this name but instead creates the file into the source where the ansilbe is installed.

Please have a look into this issue

That's because of the connection line

Thank you so much for your reply.

I've got your point and have removed connection: local from my playbook. But after that a new output appears this time.

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Instead of sudo/sudo_user, use become/become_user and 

make sure become_method is 'sudo' (default). This feature will be removed in 

version 2.6. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting 

deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

PLAY [Cassandra] ***************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************

fatal: [10.0.0.243]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password).\r\n", "unreachable": true}

to retry, use: --limit @/etc/ansible/playbooks/cassandra-playbook.retry

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

10.0.0.243                 : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0 

although when I ping 10.0.0.243 it perfectly connects. what can be the issue

[Dick Visser]

Your comment "it perfectly connects" indicates you used ansible -m
ping, but the authentication error suggests you did ICMP ping.

So, which ping did you use?


Thanks

I'am using "ansible cassandra -m ping " or "ansible all -m ping " and is can easily ssh also but the moment I run the playbook it shows me this error.
