How to respond to prompts with pywinrm / Ansible when using win\_chocolatey? I am installing the android-sdk kit / module with chocolatey and get prompted to accept the license (y/n), but have no way to use the expect module with windows unless I am mistaken? Thanks in advance!

John

Hi Johnson

License is accepted implicitly when you use chocolatey. You can install android sdk as follows. Please let me know if I am missing something

[ansible@ansibleserver playbooks]$ cat chocolatey.yml

- hosts: ansibleclient  
tasks:
- name: Install android studio  
win\_chocolatey:  
name: androidstudio  
state: present

[ansible@ansibleserver playbooks]$ ansible-playbook chocolatey.yml

PLAY [ansibleclient] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Yep, win\_chocolatey automatically adds the -y argument when calling choco.exe so it shouldn’t be freezing on the license prompt.
