ansible-local provisioner + galaxy can't seem to access roles in private repositories

[Callum Styan]

I'm using the googlecompute builder with an ansible-local provisioner, which I've passed a galaxy_file. In that galaxy file I've listed some roles that are in private repositories. They're src is specified as the git ssh "g...@github.com:..." address for each repository.

The way I understand it, the default communicator should be ssh, and if I have an ssh-agent running, my ssh credentials should be passed on to the gce instance that is running the build. How come git clone of those private repos fails? The error message is not useful.

    googlecompute:  [WARNING]: - some_private_repo was NOT installed successfully: - command git
    googlecompute: clone g...@github.com:org/some_private_repo.git some_private_repo failed

Before the ansible-local provisioner try adding some debug, something like:

{

  "type": "shell",

  "inline": [

    "echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK",

    "ssh-agent -L"

  ]

}

And verify that the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is properly propagated and that you have access to the ssh key. (Verify that the fingerprint of a key that have access to privat git repos is in the list)
