Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{ (agent_cmd_args + build_agent_cmd_args) | join(' ') }}): can only concatenate str

[Martin-Andreasson]

Hi!

I'm receiving the following error when trying to create a build agent.

TASK [gsoft.azure_devops_agent : Configure agent as a build server] **** fatal: [195.154.78.148]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{ (agent_cmd_args + build_agent_cmd_args) | join(' ') }}): can only concatenate str (not \"list\") to str"}

Why is this caused? I've tried reinstalling the ansible role and changing my playbook to the bare minimum.

It looks like this right now. Can someone please help me?

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - gsoft.azure_devops_agent
  vars_files:
    - ../vars/vault.yml
  environment:
    az_devops_accesstoken: "{{ az_devops_accesstoken }}"
  vars:

Hi,

I have encountered the same issue. The problem is with the task Set proxy (cf #66 )

Try to modify the task from

- name: Set proxy
  set_fact:
    agent_cmd_args: "{{ agent_cmd_args }} + ['--proxyurl \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_url }}\\'', '--proxyusername \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_username }}\\'', '--proxypassword \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_password }}\\'']"
  when:
    - az_devops_proxy_url is defined

to

- name: Set proxy
  set_fact:
    agent_cmd_args: "{{ agent_cmd_args }} + ['--proxyurl \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_url }}\\'', '--proxyusername \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_username }}\\'', '--proxypassword \\'{{ az_devops_proxy_password }}\\'']"
  when:
    - az_devops_proxy_url is not none

That worked wonders! Thank you!
