Hi ,

ansible 2.1.4.0

I am trying to use ansible module to execute a sciprt \< custom work flow\> . I have notices that ansible allows me to enter only one prompt ‘y’ from the question generated out of the custom script.

I tried to use ‘command’ or ‘expect’ modules, but also didn’t work as it expect pexpect modules .

I moved my command from a module to a bash file and asked ansible to run the file but also same issue. \< not allowing more than one promot at a time\>

any Idea how to fix this issue? what module or expression i should be using?

here is my task :

Have a look for vars\_prompt in the ansible documentation. This is probably the best way to make interactive scripts with ansible.

I tried adding var\_prompts on instantiate playbook, but same result . couldn’t use it as default answer for any prompts …

- hosts: “OAM”

vars\_prompt:

- default: “y”

what should i add to let Ansible push "Y’ to any prompt from thr script above?
