ansible-pull git failures on initial clone and when repo changes.

Archives Ansible Project

Hi,

I’m working with ansible-pull on ansible 2.0.0.2. On initial clone I get a failure on the first run. Subsequent runs are fine until the content of the git repo changes, in which case a further error is thrown. Runs when the repo doesn’t change work ok, except for a warning about the user of sudo, which isn’t configured.

Specifying -i localhost on pull solved the issue. Is appears that the default inventory contains localhost and 127.0.0.1 among others.
The same affect is achieved by adding localhost to /etc/ansible/hosts, which also gets rid of a host warning during the ansible run.

/usr/bin/ansible-pull -d /var/lib/ansible-local -U https://github.com/mattwillsher/turbo-telegram.git -i localhost

This is 'fixed' in current devel, we were improperly passing this info
to the ansible call that cloned the repo, it should only have been
passed to the ansible-playbook task that actually used it.

Hi All,

I am facing the same issue as “no hosts matched” and the ansible-pull is taking only localhost. It is not able to see any of my hosts.

Here is how i am using the command
ansible-pull -U git@github.com:XPlat/caps-sps.git -d /home/gvenka008c/caps-sps jenkins_mesos_icinga.yml -i caps-sps/jenkins_mesos/ansible/inventory

PLAY ***************************************************************************
skipping: no hosts matched

I am running on Cent OS

$ ansible --version

Let me know if any details required. Thanks.
