os_network module and changing project names not working

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

    I have an ansible playbook that is responsible for creating all of the projects we have defined in our projects.yml file. 

This playbook currently:

- creates all of our projects

- adds our admin_group to the projects

I am trying to use os_network to create a default private network and subnet under each project, however the network is always created under my admin project space.

I originally had this code:

--snip--

- name: Creating Project Networks

  os_network:

    name: "{{ item.1.network.name }}"

    state: "{{ item.0.state }}"

    shared: False

    external: False

  with_subelements:

  - "{{ projects }}"

  - networks

--snip--

My credentials are currently set to the default admin account and are loaded via the OS_ environment variables by sourcing an openrc file. When I execute the above code all the networks and subnets are created under the admin tenant.

I tried using the following with a hardcoded project_name:

--snip--

- name: Creating Project Networks

  os_network:

    auth:

      username: admin

      password: my_special_password

      auth_url: http://<my_ip>:5000/v3

      project_name: testproject1

    auth_type: password

    name: "{{ item.1.network.name }}"

    state: "{{ item.0.state }}"

    shared: False

    external: False

  with_subelements:

  - "{{ projects }}"

  - networks

--snip--

However the networks are still created under the admin tenant, is it safe to assume that previous os_* modules have cached an auth token? Is there a better way to interact with multiple projects when using the os_* modules?

Thanks

Michael

What you're trying to do is not currently supported, but lucky for you,

a community member has already been working on this:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/3236

This also requires a new release of the shade library to support the

new project parameter.

Thanks for the info, I am looking forward to that change :)

Currently I am making it work via the following method:

--snip--

- name: Creating Project Networks

  os_network:

    name: "{{ item.0.name }}_{{ item.1.network.name }}"

    state: "{{ item.0.state }}"

    shared: False

    external: False

  environment:

    OS_PROJECT_NAME: "{{ item.0.name }}"

    OS_TENANT_NAME: "{{ item.0.name }}"

    OS_TENANT_ID: ""

--snip--

Changing the OS_ environment vars for this task seem to work, I wouldn't attempt to try anything complicated with this approach. However it is meeting my needs of adding some defaults to newly created projects.
