Handling prompts and drop-downs via ansible 2.9

[Nishant Passari]

Hi everyone,

Am trying to install jenkins-x version 2.0.785 via ansible 2.9.9.

How do I handle the prompts like "Please enter the name you wish to use with git:" that I get while installing jenkins-x? I get the prompt even though "--git-username=automation" is already passed in the JX install command. I tried with both expect and shell module in ansible.

There are also yes/no prompts to be handled that I will get further.

Regards,

Nishant Passari

Hello,

if you aren't able to automate with silent install, use the expect module.

Already tried with expect and shell module.

```

- name: Handling multiple prompts

  expect:

    command: jx install --git-provider-kind bitbucketserver --git-provider-url http://xyz-abc-git.net.local --git-username automation --default-environment-prefix Testproject --git-api-token MzI1ODg1NjA1NTk4OqjiP9N3lr4iHt9L5rofdaWMqsW --on-premise --external-ip {{ hostvars[groups["kubemaster"][0]]["ip"] }} --verbose --static-jenkins=true --provider=openshift

    responses:

      Question:

        - Please enter the name you wish to use with git: automation

    timeout: 60

```
```
