im getting a seg fault when im running my ansible. Is there a way to turn on more debugging or anything that can help me find out the source ?
My /var/log/syslog has entries like this
Jul 26 10:47:26 ubuntu-xenial kernel: [ 497.822661] ansible-playboo[13890]: segfault at a9 ip 00000000004a7ee4 sp 00007ffdabc1b128 error 4 in python2.7[400000+2ea000]
I’ve tried -vvvv but no luck there.
Cheers
Can you reproduce the segfault?
Can try running it under gdb:
which ansible-playbook)gdb --batch -ex run --args python bin/ansible-playbook -vvv your_playbook.yml
But maybe easier to use catchsegv to grab a stack trace
catchsegv ansible-playbook -vvv your_playbook.yml
Since that log message points to a segfault in python, you likely need to install the debuginfo for
python first, something like:
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dbg
Though the segfault is likely coming from a python C extension and not ansible
itself...
thanks for the info, ill give it a go.
Im not convinced either that the seg fault is ansibles, but i need more info to see a stack the very least.
