Got "ERROR: cannot find role..."

[limikael]

Hi,

I'm a nood at this, trying to learn... :) I was trying to follow the instructions, but got the following error... What am I doing wrong?

    default: Inserting generated public key within guest...
    default: Removing insecure key from the guest if its present...
    default: Key inserted! Disconnecting and reconnecting using new SSH key...

    default: your host and reload your VM.

You're probably not doing anything wrong. It looks like I neglected to include a dependency. One way you can address this in the short term is to run ansible-galaxy install debops.dhcpd (ansible-galaxy is the npm of ansible). I'll either figure out a way to automate installing dependencies in the future, or we may not need that particular role anyway.

...also, crap, apparently I accidentally merged some stuff from the unstable hackathon branch into master, probably during the rush at the end of the hackathon. :( All the more reason to spend some time this weekend getting things into shape. Thanks for the report!

Ok I'll wait for the dependency, build automation is like a drug for me and want that high feeling of seeing it in action...

With npm it is possible to have a package.json where dependencies are listed, and then you just type npm install inside the project folder and npm will automatically install all the dependencies for the project, this way it's possible to avoid checking dependencies into a repo, which makes updates of dependencies easier. Maybe there is something similar for ansible-galaxy? If there isn't there should be... :)

Agreed! I've got to run to work, but if you find something in the mean time... ;)

Googled around a bit but didn't find anything.... :(

Well, there's this, but probably better to just build any dependencies into provision.sh, either finding them dynamically or reading them from a separate file for maintainability. Or, probably better at least in the short term, add the roles we need to the repo as submodules.

That said, it's likely to be moot for now, as I think that's the only external role we have, and it doesn't exactly fit our use-case. I'm pretty sure I just installed it as a quick fix during the hackathon. Will research and fix, one way or another, this weekend.

Going to close this issue for now:

1. The playbooks currently in master no longer use any external playbooks
2. The bootstrapping script can install dependencies if needed in the future

Ok I will try it again

Unfortunately I got another problem... :( https://github.com/tunapanda/provision/issues/31
