Installation of custom OpenWISP modules is changing in the main branch of ansible-openwisp2

[Federico Capoano]

I merged [change!] Simplify installation of custom OpenWISP modules (eg: forks)
in the main branch of ansible-openwisp2: https://github.com/openwisp/ansible-openwisp2/pull/378
This PRs changes how custom OpenWISP versions are installed in a backward incompatible way.

The previous way to install forks or different versions of OpenWISP was messed up because it installed the forks after the stable versions were installed and installed the forks without pulling dependencies.

I could not dedicate a lot of time to fix it because I have been very busy on other fronts, but recently it occurred to me a much simpler way to allow installing different versions or customized versions of OpenWISP without going crazy.

This change means that whoever is installing customized versions of OpenWISP via ansible-openwisp2 will have to upgrade their playbooks before upgrading to the new version, which is just around the corner and should be released next week!

Cheers!

Hi,

will the old playbooks continue to work for updates or do you need to create a new playbook?

thanks.

If you use the variables which set the custom openwisp modules, you will have to update the playbook, eg:

openwisp2_controller_pip: https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller/tarball/8b8de3cd0e28c4174ef4266541affbf1705cf411

Becomes:

openwisp2_controller_version: https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-controller/tarball/8b8de3cd0e28c4174ef4266541affbf1705cf411

Best regards
