Unexpected failure during module execution

[KizzyCode]

The plugin crashes when I try to execute the following task:

- name: Test
  command: "touch /Testolope.dat"
  connection: sshjail
  delegate_to: "{{ jail_name }}@{{ inventory_hostname }}"

(jail_name is defined and the jail is running; jexec works)

Playbook:

- hosts: all
  any_errors_fatal: true
  remote_user: root
  
  vars:
    - jail_name: playground

  tasks:
    - name: Test
      command: "touch /Testolope.dat"
      connection: sshjail
      delegate_to: "{{ jail_name }}@{{ inventory_hostname }}"

Traceback:

Ah, I stumbled upon #29 (comment) and indeed, become was missing.
So the issue is solved for me; however it might be a good idea to fix this/document this somewhere?

And thank you for this plugin; it is exactly what I've been looking for!

[austinhyde]

Hmm, yeah, that seems to be a stumbling block for folks. The readme does call it out, but it's a bit long winded, towards the bottom, and easy to skim past.

I'll update the readme to be clearer about it, and see if I can't add some validation in the plugin itself to make the error message much clearer about what the user needs to do.

I'm glad this is working well for you otherwise!

[KizzyCode]

I don't really know how the internals work, but maybe it's also a possibility to skip become if the current user is root already?
(Thats the reason I didn't use become in the first place; I thought it wouldn't be necessary if I'm root already).

[austinhyde]

Oh, I see, I missed that detail! I'll see if we can't check for that specific case too.

Thanks for catching this!

[austinhyde]

Hmm... so it appears there's more going on here than meets the eye, due to the interaction between delegate_to, connection plugins, and where the playbook is being run from.

@KizzyCode could you share some more details to help me figure this out? Specifically:

• are you running this playbook directly on the jailhost? or remotely?
• what does your inventory look like for the jailhost and jails? what ansible_* vars are defined for them?
• what was the command you used to run this playbook?
• did you get your playbooks working? if so, what specifically did you change from the example you shared here?

Of course, feel free to redact any sensitive information. I just need to understand what your setup is, because this seems to be much more complicated than we originally thought. If you don't have time, I understand, no worries.

[KizzyCode]

Sorry for the late reply 😕

1. I'm running this playbook remotely via SSH

2. I'm not using any inventory file; I call ansible directly like this: ansible-playbook -i $SERVER, Playground.yml.
   My project specific ansible configuration looks like this:

   [defaults]
   library = ansible/modules
   connection_plugins = ansible/connection_plugins
   
   [ssh_connection]
   pipelining = true
   

3. ansible-playbook -i 192.168.178.83, Playground.yml

4. I simply added the become parameters to the task:

   become_method: su
   become: true
   

   A fully working example looks like this:

   - hosts: all
     any_errors_fatal: true
     remote_user: root
     
     vars:
       - jail_name: playground
   
     tasks:
       - name: Test
         command: "touch /Testolope.dat"
         connection: sshjail
         become_method: su
         become: true
         delegate_to: "{{ jail_name }}@{{ inventory_hostname }}"

   (inventory_hostname resolves to 192.168.178.83)
