Hi all, I’m trying to install Talend ESB 6.3.1 using Ansible. This works up to a point. The last few steps are causing me the grief. Once TESB has been installed there are manual steps to complete the installation as below. I have tried using expect/responses/ - name: start talend ESB trun become: yes become\_user: ‘{{ talend\_user }}’ expect: command: /bin/sh {{ talend\_software\_dir }}/{{ talend\_esb\_dir }}/esb/container/bin/trun timeout: 240 responses: Question: - ‘feature:install war’ - ‘feature:install wrapper’ - ‘wrapper:install -s AUTO\_START -n TALEND-ESB-CONTAINER -d Talend-ESB-Container -D “Talend ESB Container Service”’ Error thrown TASK [start talend ESB trun] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* fatal: [10.138.52.101]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “/bin/sh /data/talend/talendesb/esb/container/bin/trun”, “delta”: “0:04:00.561246”, “end”: “2017-09-14 09:37:57.722055”, “failed”: true, “msg”: “command exceeded timeout”, “rc”: null, “start”: “2017-09-14 09:33:57.160809”, “stdout”: “trun: JAVA\_HOME not set; results may vary\r\n\u001b[33m \_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_ \_\_ \u001b[0m\r\n\u001b[33m /\_ **/** _/ /_\_ \_\_\_ _/ / \u001b[0m\r\n\u001b[33m / / / \_ `/ / -_) _ \\/ _ / \u001b[0m\r\n\u001b[33m /_/ \\_,_/_/\\__/_//_/\\_,_/ \u001b[0m\r\n (version 6.3.1) \r\n\r\nHit '\u001b[1m\u001b[0m' for a list of available commands\r\nand '\u001b[1m[cmd] --help\u001b[0m' for help on a specific command.\r\nHit '\u001b[1m\u001b[0m' or '\u001b[1msystem:shutdown\u001b[0m' to shutdown the TRUN.\r\n\r\n\u001b[1mkaraf\u001b[0m@trun()> ", "stdout_lines": ["trun: JAVA_HOME not set; results may vary", "\u001b[33m______ ____ \u001b[0m", "\u001b[33m /_ __/__ _/ / _____ ___/ / \u001b[0m", "\u001b[33m / / / _ `/ / -) \_ \/ \_ / \u001b[0m", "\u001b[33m // \_,_/_/\_\_/_//_/\_,_/ \u001b[0m”, " (version 6.3.1) ", “”, “Hit ‘\u001b[1m\u001b[0m’ for a list of available commands”, “and ‘\u001b[1m[cmd] --help\u001b[0m’ for help on a specific command.”, “Hit ‘\u001b[1m\u001b[0m’ or ‘\u001b[1msystem:shutdown\u001b[0m’ to shutdown the TRUN.”, “”, "\u001b[1mkaraf\u001b[0m@trun()\> "]} to retry, use: --limit @/home/pbirksmith/Workspace/app-automation/talend\_esb\_install.retry To run these steps manually I need to follow the following 1.

With Question it means, what string is expect going to trigger on, think of it as question/answer. One question can have many answers, the first time is sees the question it will answer with the first one, second time it sees the question the second answer and so on. > Hit '\' for a list of available commands > and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command. > Hit '\' or 'system:shutdown' to shutdown the TRUN. > > karaf@trun()\> > > At this point I need to run commands that install specific features and > services > > E.g. > karaf@trun()\> feature:install war > karaf@trun()\> feature:install wrapper > karaf@trun()\> feature:install webconsole > karaf@trun()\> wrapper:install -s AUTO\_START -n TALEND-ESB-CONTAINER -d So in this scenario your question will be the prompt, it's important that the question is unique so it doesn't trigger the answer before it should. To me is seams that the string "()\>" in the prompt doesn't appear other than in the prompt so you can use that one. Question part of expect is regexp so you need to escape regexp special characters like () So if you try this it should work    responses:      \(\)\>:        - 'feature:install war'        - 'feature:install wrapper'        ... ---

Hi Kai Thanks that moved the process further than before. Now I believe I’m getting a false positive response. The response below is really a successful response from Talend…however, Ansible has treated it as fatal. I’ve checked that everything supposed to be installed has been installed. I think maybe it is because there are no further questions to answer and it needs to be escaped so that the script moves on.
