consul_kv usage

[Barry Kaplan]

Just started to play with the new consul goodness.

Is it planned that the only way to specify a consul-agent is via an environment variable ANSIBLE_CONSUL_URL? 

In any case I cannot seem to get with_consul_kv to work:

$ curl -X GET localhost:8500/v1/kv/foo/bar
[{"CreateIndex":6760,"ModifyIndex":6760,"LockIndex":0,"Key":"foo/bar","Flags":0,"Value":"YmF6"}]%

$ consulkv get foo/bar
baz

So my key exists on the localhost agent, but

- shell: "echo {{item}}"
  with_consul_kv:
    - 'foo/bar'

yields connection refused (where 10.0.136.87 is the same host as above)

ASK: [shell echo {{item}}] ***************************************************
fatal: [10.0.136.87] => Error locating 'foo/bar' in kv store. Error was ('Connection aborted.', error(61, 'Connection refused'))

Anybody else play with this yet?

Now I'm wondering if my install might be screwed up. When I try

    - name: add a kv pair to the kv store
      consul_kv: key=baz value=bar
      register: new_key

I get 'ERROR: consul_kv is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler'

I am running 1.9.1, and am looking at the source from the 'stable-1.9' branch.

Ok, went to using ansible from source, now consul_kv works -- I can insert kv's. But with_consul_kv always fails in the same way. I even copied tasks from the tests and they too fail. So maybe this is not quite ready..., or maybe I am missing something...
