expect and "Press <Enter> to continue."

[Jost Rakovec]

Hi

how can I use expect module to responds to  "Press <Enter> to continue." during installation of software on linux?

The questins during installations are:

Press <Enter> to continue.  --> then show licence you have to go to the last line with enter
If yes, enter ‘y’ to accept the license agreement. If no, enter ‘n’ to cancel the installation: y
VVAgent is still running. Do you wish to stop it? ([Y]/n) y
Installation directory? [/opt/BUAgent]
Select language: [en-US]
This will invalidate your previous registration. (y/[N]) N
Select option (A|B) (default A) A

- name: CV upgrade
  expect:
    command: "/root/evault/Agent-Linux-x64-8.63.7483/install.sh"
    responses:
      Question:
         - ''
         - y
         - y
         - /opt/BUAgent
         - en-US
         - N
         - A

in verbose mode I'm getting this:

    "start": "2020-03-23 21:40:15.642239",
    "stdout": "Verifying installer integrity... OK.\r\nVerifying prerequisites... OK.\r\nInstall started at 21:40:16 2020.03.23\r\n\u001b[3;J\u001b[H\u001b[2J--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nBefore installing VVAgent, please read and agree to the terms\r\nand conditions of its user license.\r\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nPress <Enter> to continue.",
    "stdout_lines": [
        "Verifying installer integrity... OK.",
        "Verifying prerequisites... OK.",
        "Install started at 21:40:16 2020.03.23",
        "\u001b[3;J\u001b[H\u001b[2J--------------------------------------------------------------------------------",
        "Before installing VVAgent, please read and agree to the terms",
        "and conditions of its user license.",
        "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------",
        "Press <Enter> to continue."

thanks

Hi

is that possible to do with ansible or no one knows?

thanks

I think 'Question' is not a parameter, it's the real question in the sample of ansible expect module

I think you could probably remove this line as you want only one answer to each question.
