consul_kv usage

Just started to play with the new consul goodness.

Is it planned that the only way to specify a consul-agent is via an environment variable ANSIBLE_CONSUL_URL?

In any case I cannot seem to get with_consul_kv to work:

`
$ curl -X GET localhost:8500/v1/kv/foo/bar
[{“CreateIndex”:6760,“ModifyIndex”:6760,“LockIndex”:0,“Key”:“foo/bar”,“Flags”:0,“Value”:“YmF6”}]%

$ consulkv get foo/bar
baz
`

So my key exists on the localhost agent, but

`

  • shell: “echo {{item}}”
    with_consul_kv:
  • ‘foo/bar’
    `

yields connection refused (where 10.0.136.87 is the same host as above)

`
ASK: [shell echo {{item}}] ***************************************************
fatal: [10.0.136.87] => Error locating ‘foo/bar’ in kv store. Error was (‘Connection aborted.’, error(61, ‘Connection refused’))

`

Anybody else play with this yet?

Now I’m wondering if my install might be screwed up. When I try

`

  • name: add a kv pair to the kv store
    consul_kv: key=baz value=bar
    register: new_key
    `

I get ‘ERROR: consul_kv is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler’

I am running 1.9.1, and am looking at the source from the ‘stable-1.9’ branch.

Ok, went to using ansible from source, now consul_kv works – I can insert kv’s. But with_consul_kv always fails in the same way. I even copied tasks from the tests and they too fail. So maybe this is not quite ready…, or maybe I am missing something…
