Issue with delegate_to/with_items #7535

bretmartin · 2014-05-25T18:22:51Z

Issue Type:

Bug Report

Ansible Version:

ansible 1.6.2 (release1.6.2 549f67c) last updated 2014/05/25 13:22:57 (GMT -400)

Environment:

Debian "wheezy"

Summary:

The following task broke between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2:

- name: retrieve passwd-and-group-pull ssh keys
  changed_when: False
  command: cat /opt/miranda-util/etc/passwd-and-group-pull.key.pub
  delegate_to: "{{ item }}"
  register: passwd_and_group_pull_ssh_keys
  with_items: groups.auxiliary
  tags: ssh

Adding -vvvv, I found the SSH connection the delegated host to look like

TASK: [common | retrieve passwd-and-group-pull ssh keys] **********************
<> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: bam
<> REMOTE_MODULE command cat /opt/miranda-util/etc/passwd-and-group-pull.key.pub
<> EXEC ['ssh', '-C', '-tt', '-vvv', '-o', 'ControlMaster=auto', '-o', 'ControlPersist=60s', '-o', 'ControlPath=/home/bam/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r', '-o', 'KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no', '-o', 'PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey', '-o', 'PasswordAuthentication=no', '-o', 'ConnectTimeout=10', u'', "/bin/sh -c 'mkdir -p $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1401040562.21-133112351003863 && chmod a+rx $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1401040562.21-133112351003863 && echo $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1401040562.21-133112351003863'"]

Note the empty string between the ConnectTimeout argument and the remote command line.

I was able to narrow this apparent regression down to commit 8851cea but it isn't immediately evident to me how to correct it.

Steps To Reproduce:

Run a task with delegate_to across hosts specified with with_items.

Expected Results:

Delegated task runs on hosts specified with with_items.

Actual Results:

SSH command line is constructed without a hostname and connection fails with ssh: Could not resolve hostname : No address associated with hostname; ansible run subsequently fails with fatal: [miranda.internal.miranda.org] => SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to help diagnose the issue

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Can you use the debug module to show us what's all in the list you have? (groups.auxillary)

Not sure if the empty text above would cause nany issues, but can you show the full -vvvv output as Ansible requested you provide as opposed to just the first three lines?

bretmartin · 2014-05-25T21:55:37Z

Will do both as soon as possible. The empty text after ConnectTimeout is where the hostname appears in a working run.

Here is the output of

ansible-playbook --start-at-task='debug' -vvvv ~/dev/ansible/site.yml

The relevant tasks are

- name: debug
  debug: var=groups.auxiliary

- name: retrieve passwd-and-group-pull ssh keys
  changed_when: False
  command: cat /opt/miranda-util/etc/passwd-and-group-pull.key.pub
  delegate_to: "{{ item }}"
  register: passwd_and_group_pull_ssh_keys
  with_items: groups.auxiliary
  tags: ssh

I can confirm this issue on the current development branch. Here is a minimal example, which shows the bug:

$ ansible --version
ansible 1.7
$ cat hosts
[local]
localhost
$ cat test.yml

- name: Test delegate_to and with_items
  hosts: local
  roles:
    - test_role
$ cat roles/test_role/tasks/main.yml

- name: bar
  shell: "hostname -f"
  delegate_to: '{{ item }}'
  with_items: groups.local
$ ansible-playbook -vvvv -i hosts test.yml

localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0

Note, that I had to create a role in which the task is executed. Omitting the role and simply putting the task directly into test.yml does not yield the issue.

I've tracked this down to 2e2e5d5, looking into why now.

bretmartin · 2014-06-03T18:23:34Z

Thanks @jimi-c -- was there some way I should have been able to find that 2e2e5d5 was the source of 8851cea where the problem appeared to start for me?

jimi-c · 2014-06-03T18:35:19Z

@bretmartin I found it as the result of doing a git bisect on the source code. If you're not familiar with it, it's a very easy process and definitely worth learning.

jimi-c · 2014-06-03T18:38:21Z

I have merged in the above patch to resolve this issue. Essentially, there was some code left over from deprecating the "include + with_items" feature that caused an empty string to be assigned to the item variable. When the module_vars were templated with themselves in 2e2e5d5, this caused the {{item}} in the delegate_to to be templated incorrectly with that empty string.

Please let us know if you continue seeing any problems related to this. Thanks!

bretmartin · 2014-06-03T20:39:41Z

I can confirm that 74f20eb fixes the problem for me.

@jimi-c Thanks, I'm familiar with git bisect. I didn't ask my question clearly. I had narrowed the change down to 8851cea, which looks identical to 2e2e5d5 except it's on the release1.6.2 branch instead of devel. I was wondering if there's a way to tell that 8851cea on release1.6.2 originated from 2e2e5d5 on devel.

jimi-c · 2014-06-03T23:53:40Z

Oh, my apologies. No, I don't believe there is. Typically we cherry-pick things between branches, which will result in a new SHA. Since I don't typically add a commit message regarding the cherry-pick origin, the only way to tell would be by the commit message and diff (which should normally be identical, unless there was a merge conflict of course).

Sorry, for the late reply. Just did a git pull and the problem is fixed here. Thanks a lot for fixing this issue so quickly!

Also cleaning up integration tests that had checks for the empty item attribute in certain results. Fixes #7535
