Hi everyone,

Today I made a new ansible virtualenv with 2.4.0.0 and dependencies.  
A task that worked before on 2.3.2.0 is stopping with a new error.

After the task completes ok, the run stops with error:  
“”"  
sending stop: [‘ssh’, ‘-vvv’, ‘-C’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlMaster=auto’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlPersist=60s’, ‘-o’, ‘KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no’, ‘-o’, ‘PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey’, ‘-o’, ‘PasswordAuthentication=no’, ‘-o’, ‘ConnectTimeout=60’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlPath=/Users/LOCALUSER/.ansible/cp/276d6f8b70’, ‘-O’, ‘stop’, ‘None’]  
ERROR! Cannot reset connection:  
OpenSSH\_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2k 26 Jan 2017  
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/LOCALUSER/.ssh/config  
debug1: /Users/LOCALUSER/.ssh/config line 68: Applying options for \*

debug1: auto-mux: Trying existing master  
Control socket connect(/Users/LOCALUSER/.ansible/cp/276d6f8b70): No such file or directory  
“”"

I verified the file doesn’t exist, and the ControlPath parameter for all the tasks that did run previously are using a totally different ControlPath that exists.

Going back to virtualenv with ansible 2.3.2.0 and dependencies works ok.

Is this something others have seen before?

What’s a good way to start debugging / troubleshooting?

It looks like there may be a bug in the `reset_connection` meta task for the ssh connection plugin.

By the time `reset` is called, it looks like `self.host` is `None`, and as such, ssh is building an incorrect ControlPath.

Please open an issue for this.

Ok Matt,  
Thanks for your advice. I’ll get something posted shortly.
