Here is ./ansible.cfg:
`
[defaults]
inventory = .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory
nocows = 1
[privilege_escalation]
These are required to enable ansible to escalate privileges for installing
software.
become = True
become_method = sudo
become_user = root
`
Here is my Vagrantfile:
`
Vagrant.configure(“2”) do |config|
config.vm.define “traffic” do |traffic|
traffic.vm.box = “ubuntu/xenial64”
Perform ansible provisioning
config.vm.provision “ansible” do |ansible|
Specify the playbook to use
ansible.playbook = “playbooks/traffic_playbook.yml”
Specify Ansible compatibility mode
ansible.compatibility_mode = “2.0”
ansible.extra_vars = { ansible_python_interpreter: “/usr/bin/python3” }
end
end
end
`
When I run vagrant provision, an inventory file is created containing:
`
Generated by Vagrant
traffic ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_port=2222 ansible_user=‘vagrant’ ansible_ssh_private_key_file=‘/home/tim/AnsibleFun/.vagrant/machines/traffic/virtualbox/private_key’
`
When I run the ad-hoc command: ansible all -m ping
I get:
`
traffic | FAILED! => {
“changed”: false,
“module_stderr”: “Shared connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.\r\n”,
“module_stdout”: “/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\r\n”,
“msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”,
“rc”: 0
}
`
Now if I add an ansible_python_interpreter setting to my inventory file, the ad hoc command succeeds:
`
traffic | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}
`
But when I run: vagrant provision again, the ansible_python_interpreter setting is removed from my inventory file loses and my ad hoc commands start failing again with the /usr/bin/python not found error.
Is there some Vagrantfile syntax I can use to persist the ansible_python_interpreter setting in my inventory file?
Thanks!
