2 sudo tasks in one play, 1 succeeds, the other fails

So, i’m creating a role to auto install megatools, but i’m having trouble using sudo in a specific command, got the task / playbook and sh output here: https://gist.github.com/mvdpoel/288ef389abc5329e3ebd

Just works:

  • name: Ensure packages are installed (Debian Family).
    sudo: true
    apt: >
    name={{ item }}
    state=installed
    with_items: __required_packages
    when: ansible_os_family == ‘Debian’

Does NOT work:

  • name: “Make install”
    sudo: yes
    shell: “make install”
    args:
    chdir: “/home/{{ansible_ssh_user}}/{{ src_folder.stdout }}”

the apt module seems to do fine, but when i do make install it whines over permission denied :slight_smile:
two tasks in the same book, no useful errors, no useful logs, nothing :wink:

sooo, wtf :slight_smile:

Hi,

Have you tried using ‘true’ instead of ‘yes’ in the make install task?
