Hey all,

I’m having an issue trying to get ansible to use my environment variable to pull through a proxy server.

Running: ansible 2.9.10

Hey all,

I'm having an issue trying to get ansible to use my environment variable to pull through a proxy server.

Running: ansible 2.9.10

Here's my variable declarations:

---
- name: puppet5
hosts: ALL_LINUX
become: yes
vars_files:
- passwd.yml
- vars.yml

vars:
os_version: "{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}"
puppet5_repo: /etc/yum.repos.d/puppet5.repo
proxy_env:
https_proxy: http://proxy:8080 <http://proxy.swpc.noaa.gov:8080>
http_proxy: http://proxy:8080 <http://proxy.swpc.noaa.gov:8080>

Here is it being used in my playbook:

tasks:
- name: check if repo files exists
stat:
path: "{{ puppet5_repo }}"
register: puppet5_exists

\- name: &quot;Install puppet5 EL\{\{ os\_version \}\}\.rpm for NCS or internal networks&quot;
  yum:
    name: &quot;https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet5-release-el-\{\{ &lt;https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet5-release-el-%7B%7B&gt;

os_version }}.noarch.rpm"
state: present
disable_gpg_check: yes
environment: "{{ proxy_envy }}"
when:
- puppet5_exists.stat.exists == False
- ansible_default_ipv4.address is match('192\.168\.226\.') or
ansible_default_ipv4.address is match('192\.168\.223\.')

Notice that the URL I'm trying to pull is https. When I run the playbook, it's defaulting to http. If I hard code the
environment with:

environment:
- https_proxy: http://proxy:8080

This works. Is there a bug somewhere in this version of ansible?

Is the name of the variable proxy_envy a typo in your playbook?

Interesting. That must have been my own typo.

I’ve verified that my variable name says proxy_env on both the declaration and where it’s trying to be applied to.

Here’s the verbose output – it keeps trying to use the http_proxy instead of the https_proxy.
