Trouble Setting Directory Ownership On Ubuntu 14.04 Virtualbox

[Kyle Willis]

I am trying to define the ownership for a directory located in a Ubuntu 14.04 Virtual machine, which was created with vagrant and provisioned using Ansible. The approach I'm currently using results in no change to the directory ownership when I `ls -l` the directory. How do I change the directory's user to `foo` and group to `bar`?  

Below I have provided the playbook and Vagrantfile

vagrant.yml:

   

---
   
    - name: Create a test virtual machine via vagrant
      hosts: all
      become: yes
      become_user: root
      remote_user: vagrant
      vars:
        - setup_git_repo: no
        - update_apt_cache: yes
   
      tasks:
   
        - name: Create the application user
          user: name="foo" state=present
   
        - name: Create the application group
          group: name="bar" system=yes state=present
   
        - name: Add the application user to the application group
          user: name="foo" group="bar" state=present
       
        - name: Set directory previlages
          file: path="/webapps/ansible_test"    
                owner="foo"
                group="bar"
                mode=0777
                state=directory

Vagrantfile:

    VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"


    Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
      config.vm.box = "trusty64"
      config.vm.box_url = "https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box"
      config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 4567, guest: 8000
      config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--name", "test", "--memory", "512"]
      end
      config.vm.synced_folder "../../ansible_test", "/webapps"


      config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
        ansible.playbook = "vagrant.yml"
        ansible.host_key_checking = false
        ansible.verbose = "vvv"
      end
    end

Result:

 

    vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/$ ls -l /webapps
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant 102 Jul 29 22:00 ansible_test
