ERROR! privilege output closed while waiting for password prompt: BECOME-SUCCESS

Hi All,

The following playbook worked fine with Ansible 1.9.4, but is breaking in 2.0.0.2:

1.9.4 version:

---

- hosts:
  - all
  gather_facts: True

- name: Do local stuff
  hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local
  tasks:
  - name: Add dev environment to hostsfile
    sudo: true
    lineinfile:
      dest: "/etc/hosts"
      regexp: "{{ item }}"
      line: "{{ hostvars[item]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address'] }} {{ item }}"
    with_items: groups.all

  - name: Remove existing hostkey
    shell: "ssh-keygen -R {{ item }}"
    with_items: groups.all

  - name: Add new host key
    shell: "ssh-keyscan {{ item }} >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts"
    with_items: groups.all

and this is the 2.0.0.2 version:

---

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: True
  tasks:
  - name: setup
    setup:

- name: Do local stuff
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  tasks:
  - name: Add dev environment to hostsfile
    lineinfile:
      dest: "/etc/hosts"
      regexp: "{{ item }}"
      line: "{{ hostvars[item]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address'] }} {{ item }}"
    with_items: groups.all
    become: true
    delegate_to: localhost

  - name: Remove existing hostkey
    shell: "ssh-keygen -R {{ item }}"
    with_items: groups.all

  - name: Add new host key
    shell: "ssh-keyscan {{ item }} >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts"
    with_items: groups.all

But when we run this:

I was thinking that using connection: local somehow interfered with become: true But I installed openssh-server and tried it via normal ssh means and still didn’t work.

I tried things with become: root, delegate_to, changing things in inventory, nothing seems to work. I’d love any suggestion?

Thanks!
Mark
