OS / ENVIRONMENT

Am just running it as part of a wider playbook to install and configure git on windows along with some default creds for a git instance

 - name: Add git access token to win credentials
      community.windows.win_credential:
        name: "https://git.{{ enclave_name }}"
        type: generic_password
        username: "{{ account_info[''+ user + ''].username }}"
        secret: "{{ account_info[''+ user + ''].git_access_token }}"
        state: present
        persistence: enterprise
      when:  ( account_info[''+ user + ''].git_pass  != "")
      vars:
        user: "{{ inventory_hostname | split('-') | last  }}"
        ansible_become: yes
        ansible_become_method: runas
        ansible_become_user: "{{ account_info[''+ user + ''].username }}"

EXPECTED RESULTS

Expected results are that the credentials get added

ACTUAL RESULTS

Nothing to show on what happens... it juts stops and freezes midway through on a random user often. have left it running for upwards of 40 mins sometimes

Does any other task hand with the become settings you've specified. Does it hang if you also provide ansible_become_pass?

[speedyT0RT0ISE]

Nope, other tasks dont hang with that, though the other task just uses the win_powershell. Does this ansible_become_pass require input?

[jborean93]

It needs to be the password for the user you want to become. Setting a password changes the become process is slightly different ways which could impact things like accessing the credential manager which is why I want to check if it still hangs.

[speedyT0RT0ISE]

Ok will try adding that in and seeing if it hangs
