Hello Guys

Here is my ansible task

  • name: Firmware path lookup
    shell: rpm -ql hp-firmware-“{{ device.stdout }}” | grep ‘.scexe’
    register: FirmwarePath

  • expect:
    command: sh “{{ FirmwarePath.stdout }}”
    responses:
    “Continue (y/N)”: ‘y’

And it ends up like this.

TASK [ansible-role-hp-firmware-upgrade : expect command=sh “{{ FirmwarePath.stdout }}” responses={u’Continue (y/N)‘: u’y’}] ***
fatal: [storage0204]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n File "/home/ksingh/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1448985850.39-65513584639595/expect", line 2084, in \r\n main()\r\n File "/home/ksingh/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1448985850.39-65513584639595/expect", line 154, in main\r\n out, rc = pexpect.runu(args, timeout=timeout, withexitstatus=True,\r\nAttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘runu’\r\n”, “parsed”: false}

If i run this manually with script command it works nicely.
Can you please advice , how can i make this work.

Exactly the same is happening over here, trying to use expect, having installed the pexpect package earlier in the role tasks. Here is the -vvvv of ansible, trying to install a gitlab ci runner:

fatal: [xxx.yyy.zzz]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “invocation”: {“module_args”: {“command”: “gitlab-ci-multi-runner register”, “responses”: {“Please enter the gitlab-ci coordinator URL (e.g. https://gitlab.com/ci )”: “https://gitlab.com/ci”, “Please\ enter\ the\ Docker\ image\ \(eg\. ruby\:2\.1\)\:”: “ruby:2.1”, “Please\ enter\ the\ executor\:\ shell\,\ docker\,\ docker\-ssh\,\ ssh\?”: “docker”, “Please\ enter\ the\ gitlab\-ci\ description\ for\ this\ runner”: “my-runner”, “Please\ enter\ the\ gitlab\-ci\ token\ for\ this\ runner”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”}}, “module_name”: “expect”}, “msg”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n File "/home/mkappa/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1449154083.59-269753732902654/expect", line 2084, in \r\n main()\r\n File "/home/mkappa/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1449154083.59-269753732902654/expect", line 154, in main\r\n out, rc = pexpect.runu(args, timeout=timeout, withexitstatus=True,\r\nAttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘runu’\r\nOpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013\r\ndebug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config\r\ndebug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 56: Applying options for *\r\ndebug1: auto-mux: Trying existing master\r\ndebug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK\r\ndebug2: mux_client_hello_exchange: master version 4\r\ndebug3: mux_client_forwards: request forwardings: 0 local, 0 remote\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_session: entering\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_alive: entering\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_alive: done pid = 3439\r\ndebug3: mux_client_request_session: session request sent\r\ndebug1: mux_client_request_session: master session id: 2\r\ndebug3: mux_client_read_packet: read header failed: Broken pipe\r\ndebug2: Received exit status from master 0\r\nShared connection to cremaster2.aavv.io closed.\r\n”, “parsed”: false}

Any ideas?

What version of pexpect are the two of you using?

i have updated pexpect version to 4.0.1 and it worked.
