Deployment fails

[garrisoneel]

Describe the bug

Deployment from WSL fails during "TASK [Ensure Ansible is not being run in a world writable directory]" due to "template error while templating string: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'integer'." I am baffled to not see this error anywhere else

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow WSL instructions
2. Follow Step 4 from Deploy the Algo Server
3. Attempt ./algo
4. Observe error

Alternately:

1. Open Google Cloud Shell
2. Follow deployment instructions (Steps 2 & 4)
3. Follow GCP Setup, entering commands into google cloud shell.
4. Observe identical error after ./algo -e "provider=gce" -e "gce_credentials_file=$(pwd)/configs/gce.json"

Expected behavior

TASK [Ensure Ansible is not being run in a world writable directory] passes because the directory has correct permissions. Deployment continues.

Additional context

This happens in google cloud shell in addition to WSL, so I don't believe it is related to #1637 despite failing at a similar point.

Output of pip list in both:

Seeing the same issue on my end.

[jarrettprosser]

I'm seeing the same issue today. I deployed another host with an identical config a couple of days ago and it succeeded. I think the release of jinja2 3.0.0 has caused a problem with this step. See the differences in dependencies:

To confirm, I tried adding jinja2==2.8 to requirements.txt at the start, and the task succeeds.

Another thing to try is to just delete the directory permissions check from main.yml.

[mnihal22]

I tried it after restarting the ssh session. The deployment proceeds without error

[argium]

I can reproduce this on my machine. I am not connected through SSH. Editing out the check from main.yml does seem to unblock me.

Yup this works for me, though I just commented out line 10-15.

[caewok]

Same problem; like others, commenting out lines 10–15 in main.yml works.

[ferasawadi]

thanks that solves the issue

[jruaaa]

didn't comment the check out but added jinja2==2.8 to requirements.txt at the start which worked for me it seems
