[Александр Костырев]

Name        : ansible

Version     : 1.9.2

I've got a simple play

Install  2 Packages

Is this ok [y/d/N]: y

succeed

How can I workaround this?

Thanks!

[Александр Костырев]

Okay

I found this

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/9552

and the solution is to specify full package name in with_items

what the hell.. it's not a solution at all

I wanted to use some var as a package name prefix because

on Fedora and Red Hat systems

# yum install tfm-rubygem-foreman_discovery

on on Debian and Ubuntu systems.

# apt-get install ruby-foreman-discovery

f

I'd like to write a multi-platform code.

Right, i'd suggest you have 2 dicts or lists - one for Debians and one for EL linuxes - and conditionally load them into the yum: task based on ansible_os_family.

You don't get it.

Plugins are optional.

They may or may not be wanted by user.

So I pushed to my repo the code that breaks just to illustrate want I'd like to achieve with ansible

https://github.com/kostyrevaa/ansible-role-foreman

We've got vars

for Ubuntu https://github.com/kostyrevaa/ansible-role-foreman/blob/wip_plugins/vars/Ubuntu.yml

and for RHEL

https://github.com/kostyrevaa/ansible-role-foreman/blob/wip_plugins/vars/RedHat_7.yml

those vars are pulled with

https://github.com/kostyrevaa/ansible-role-foreman/blob/wip_plugins/tasks/main.yml#L4

and code that installs those plugins:

https://github.com/kostyrevaa/ansible-role-foreman/blob/wip_plugins/tasks/plugins.yml#L21

Of course it's not gonna work for ubuntu 'cause I don't render repo files for it

but

it also fails for rhel with aforementioned error.

Is there any workaround I could use to get what I want?

Thanks!

[Александр Костырев]

I don't know which plugins someone would like to install so I can't have hard-coded list.

and I'd like to add that end-user should not be bothered with differences in packages' names in OSes
Setting

foreman_plugins:
  - discovery
  - bootdisk

is all what have to be done.

Strangely enough but after rewriting

    - name: install plugins

     yum: name='ruby193-rubygem-{{ item }}' state=present

into

- name: install plugins OS agnostic

  action: >

    {{ ansible_pkg_mgr }}

    name="{{ foreman_plugin_prefix }}{{ item }}"

it works! so my problem solved
