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](http://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](http://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 }}” > **[Getting remote user environment with sudo](https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/cNgOQm-zF0U/m/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](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](http://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](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 🙂
