The Ansible process crashed while fetching secrets from the 'infisical' instance.

On a MacBook with an ARM architecture, I can't fetch secrets from the 'infisical' instance.

Example code:

- name: Fetch secrets
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: true
  vars:
    read_all_secrets_within_scope: "{{ lookup('infisical.vault.read_secrets', token='<token_here>', path='/', env_slug='dev', url='https://ifc.self.managed') }}"

  tasks:
    - debug:
        var: read_all_secrets_within_scope

Actual output:

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************
objc[54912]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
objc[54912]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.
ERROR! A worker was found in a dead state

How to fix it

Run this command in the current terminal session:
export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES
Now it's working:

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "read_all_secrets_within_scope": [
        {
            "key": "POSTGRES_PORT",
            "value": "5432"
        },
    ]
}

This issue is reported here because I have never encountered this problem with other Ansible collections.

This is a known issue with running Ansible on macOS, not anything to do with any specific Ansible content. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html#running-on-macos-as-a-control-node

I am having a similar issue but export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES has not solved it.

It removes these lines

objc[54912]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.

But I still get

I'm trying to debug but I'm a bit of an ansible noob.

I've worked around this by not using this collection, and just using the built-in ansible uri module to query the api manually.
