Hi,

Trying to use ansible to install GVM and Grails, but can’t seem to make it work, anyone can help? Tried both shell and command, but none seem work.

  • name: gvm | Install gvm prerequisites for Grails
    shell:
    curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash
    sudo: yes
    tags: grails
  • name: gvm set source | Set source for gvm
    shell:
    source “/home/vagrant/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh”
    sudo: yes
    tags: grails
  • name: grails | install grails 2.3.7
    command:
    gvm install grails 2.3.7
    sudo: yes
    tags: grails

thanks.

Hi,

I managed to get further with the following:

  • name: Set Home | Set to vagrant home before install Grails
    shell:
    cd /home/vagrant executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: no
    tags: grails

  • name: gvm | Install gvm prerequisites for Grails
    shell:
    curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: no
    tags: grails

  • name: gvm set source | Set source for gvm
    shell:
    source “/home/vagrant/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh” executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: no
    tags: grails

  • name: grails | install grails 2.3.7
    shell:
    gvm install grails 2.3.7 executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: yes
    tags: grails

but it still failed at the last command: gvm install

TASK: [grails | install grails 2.3.7] *****************************************

failed: [default] => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: “gvm install grails 2.3.7”, “delta”: “0:00:00.003756”, “end”: “2014-11-30 17:43:51.951141”, “rc”: 127, “start”: “2014-11-30 17:43:51.947385”, “warnings”: }

stderr: /bin/bash: gvm: command not found

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

Any advice? Also how to press “y” at the end of the installation using playbook?
thanks.

Hi,

I was trying do install grails using gvm via ansible just like you today.
After battling for a few hours with it, I ended up stumbling upon the discussion about getting a remote user’s environment using sudo where the last comment has a solution.

So I now I rap all my shell calls in ‘bash -lc’ to get the remote user’s
environment set-uip properly. For instance :

  • shell: cd; bash -lc “rbenv install {{ ruby_version }}”

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/cNgOQm-zF0U/vZ4ZBl8Z8QYJ

Here’s what my task file looks like for the grails part (it also has a solution for the prompting the gvm install grails confirmation dialog – just pipe it into yes see man yes):

grails

  • name: check if gvm is installed
    shell: test -d /usr/share/tomcat/.gvm && echo “yes” || echo “no”
    register: is_gvm_installed

  • name: download gvm
    when: is_gvm_installed.stdout == “no”
    get_url: url=http://get.gvmtool.net dest=/usr/share/tomcat/gvm_install.sh
    remote_user: tomcat

  • name: install gvm
    when: is_gvm_installed.stdout == “no”
    command: bash /usr/share/tomcat/gvm_install.sh
    sudo: yes
    sudo_user: tomcat

  • name: install grails

probably not the most elegant way to have .bashrc sourced but that’ll do for now…

shell: bash -lc “gvm install grails | yes” executable=/bin/bash chdir=/usr/share/tomcat/
sudo: yes
sudo_user: tomcat

Cheers,

rx

About the yes command, I meant yes | gvm install grails rather than gvm install grails | yes, sorry!

Hi,

Thanks!!! I wish i see this earlier, i ended up solve the issue just now and then your post showed up. Seem like there are some delay for the post to show-up. Just to share my solution as well for reference.

  • name: gvm | Install gvm prerequisites for Grails
    shell:
    curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: no
    tags: grails

  • name: gvm set source | Set source for gvm
    shell:
    source “/home/vagrant/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh” && yes | gvm install grails 2.3.7 executable: /bin/bash
    sudo: no
    tags: grails

You could use the stat action as well which returns a handy exists boolean.
http://docs.ansible.com/stat_module.html

  • stat: path=YOURPATH
    register: grailsinstalled

  • other_action: too
    when: grailsinstalled.stat.exists

Typing on my phone, so please excuse typos :slight_smile:
