Ansible 1.7.2, sudo_user don't work properly

[Волков Евгений]

HI,
I had some problems with sudo_user switching. Config file not changed.
ansible 1.7.2

test.yml
---
- hosts: test_host.local
  remote_user: notroot
  tasks:
  - name: test1
    sudo_user: test
    shell: whoami

  - name: test2
    sudo: yes
    sudo_user: test
    shell: whoami

***********************************************************

ansible-playbook test.yml -v

PLAY [test_host.local] *****************************

GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************
ok: [test_host.local]

TASK: [test1] *****************************************************************
changed: [test_host.local] => {"changed": true, "cmd": "whoami", "delta": "0:00:00.002587", "end": "2014-11-24 15:41:03.876659", "rc": 0, "start": "2014-11-24 15:41:03.874072", "stderr": "", "stdout": "notroot"}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************
test_host.local : ok=3    changed=2    unreachable=0    failed=0

In docs, I saw this example:

http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_intro.html

You can also login as you, and then sudo to different users than root:

---
- hosts: webservers
  remote_user: yourname
  sudo: yes
  sudo_user: postgres

But as you see it's not quite right.

Help please. How can i execute command under specific user, not root end not remote user?

Looks like setting "sudo_user" on a task doesn't actively cause it to invoke sudo on that task.  To me, I think it should.

Can you file a ticket on this if you are seeing this in Ansible 1.7.2 or later?

Thanks!

Hi Evgeny,

You've missed `sudo: yes` in a first task

`sudo: yes` is mandatory `sudo_user` doesn't enable 'sudoing'



-- Best, Igor

Hi Igor,

Yes, I know it and I do it specially. I wanted to show results of both variants. And main problem showed in a second task.
