mssql-tools breaks yum update

[Jeremy Van Veelen]

I have a patching playbook that works fine if the yum package installation doesn't require any prompts, as per rpm best practices.  Well when I ran my patching playbook to update my OS I discovered that mssql-tools upon rpm post-installation prompts to accept the license terms and get the following prompt:

The license terms for this product can be downloaded from

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746949 and found in

/usr/share/doc/mssql-tools/LICENSE.txt . By entering 'YES',

you indicate that you accept the license terms.

Do you accept the license terms? (Enter YES or NO)

Well this breaks my play.  Has anybody figured out a work around for this type of breakage?

Thanks

This is really not a question related to Ansible, but setting the environment variable ACCEPT_EULA to Y
should to the trick:

- yum:
...
environment:
ACCEPT_EULA:Y

You can also use FreeTDS instead of the Microsoft driver.
