1 year ago Can you show me how you are invoking the ansiblePlaybook step ? Is it a SSH key with a passphrase or is it using sshpass ?
If the first solution I would expect this to work (the passphrase should be configured on the SSH credentials).
For the sshpass thing there was some tentative in https://github.com/jenkinsci/ansible-plugin/pull/85/files but introduced regression and was rollback
Without more automated testing I will not try to solve it again.
I'm also looking for more active maintainer to keep the plugin sane and free of bug : https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/jenkinsci-dev/c/xiKhmhCBspw

Ubuntu 22.04
Reproduction steps
Have a passphrase for an SSH key that contains special chars, like
7D%TgX`EnfgHkfv$H9qhfg84sZSQwT&LjH~ZEfghjkzn@^sYpR(not actually in use).Expected Results
Should work as expected
Actual Results
2: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitutionAnything else?
Jenkins will create a sh script in /tmp, like 'ssh8566695972573467306.sh'. This doesn't escape the user provided SSH passphrase, having it fail like described above. This can be verified when calling it directly:
