"Launch Forem instance for {{ app_domain }}" fails

[leewynne]

Hi there, nearly there with this now. Just this error with ec2 instance creation. I have the values that make up app_domain set in my setup.yml file

fatal: [forem]: FAILED! =>
msg: |-
The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: No first item, sequence was empty.

The error appears to be in '/Users/lee/Documents/Productions/Git.nosync/forem/selfhost/selfhost/playbooks/providers/aws.yml': line 170, column 5, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


  - name: "Launch Forem instance for {{ app_domain }}"
    ^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:

    with_items:
      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:
      - "{{ foo }}"

What are your values for app_domain in your setup.yml?

I know what the issue is. It isn't related to the repo, it was AWS related. There was a small issue in the custom VPC that I was deploying to.

Now deployed successfully to default and custom VPCs!

Might be an idea to set some default AWS requirements when deploying to a custom VPC? Not sure 🤔

Will close the issue 😎😎
