The vars_prompt prompt hangs just hangs after entering details (at least when used with vagrant)

[Samuel Lampa]

Hi,

I'm trying to pull in some sensitive information using the vars_prompt construct.

My playbook looks something like this (see [1] for full source):

---

- hosts: all 

  sudo: true

  vars:

     ...

  vars_prompt:

      some_user: "Enter some username"

      some_prefix: "Enter some prefix"

      some_pass: "Enter some password"

  pre_tasks:
    ...

  roles:

    ...

But when I execute this (via vagrant provision), I get:

$ vagrant provision

==> default: Running provisioner: ansible...

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 ANSIBLE_FORCE_COLOR=true ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=false ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS='-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s' ansible-playbook --private-key=*** --user=vagrant --connection=ssh --limit='default' --inventory-file=*** playbook.yml

Enter some username: : Test<enter>

... then absolutely nothing happnes, until I Ctrl+C:

^C==> default: Waiting for cleanup before exiting...

ERROR: interrupted

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be

visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

For reference, my (very simple) vagrant file looks like this (see [2] for full source):

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

# vi: set ft=ruby :

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  config.vm.box = "chef/centos-6.5"

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8889

  config.vm.provision :ansible do |ansible|

 ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"

  end

end

Anybody had similar issues?

My OS and version info:

•  Host OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "trusty" 64bit
• Guest OS: CentOS 6.5 64bit
• Ansible version 1.5.4
• Vagrant version 1.7.2

Well, I found it now. It was a Vagrant issue, quite naturally:
