ansible_user_id always root

[greg.h...@gmail.com]

I am trying to use {{ansible_user_id}} to get the user_id of the user running the playbook. I can not get it to return a value other than root. I also tried running battle without sudo and I receive this error:

Task FAILED: setup [sudo via ansible, key=jkwrmhyzyzgywfccxtrkmxesrzjxlahj] password:

Task NO HOSTS: debug
to retry, use: --limit @/Users/ghengeli/test.retry

Playbook FAILED, ok=0, changed=0, unreachable=0, failed=1

My sample config file is:

---
sources:
local:
- test.yml

And my test playbook is simply:

- hosts: workstation

tasks:
- name: print from playbook
sudo: no
debug: msg="in playbooks {{ansible_user_id}}"

I have the same problem here.
Is this a bug? Or is this intended behavior?

Same issue for me

➜  ~  cat ~/.battleschool/config.yml

---

cache_dir: ~/.battleschool/cache

sources:

  local:

    - playbook.yml

➜  ~  cat ~/.battleschool/playbooks/playbook.yml

---

- hosts: workstation

  tasks:

    - name: print from playbook

      debug: msg="in playbooks/playbook.yml"

➜  ~  battle

Well, the same problem for me.

Is the project alive ?

I have found the solution.
If I specify the SUDO password it works:

battle --ask-sudo-pass

SUDO password:
## Updating sources #######################################################################
Task OK: git
Task OK: setup
Task OK: apt
Playbook OK, ok=2, changed=1, unreachable=0, failed=0
## Battleschool completed #######################################################################

Cheers,

That is how I run by default.
