Hi All,

I have a task that installs java and is working fine in Ansible push mode but it seems to be failing in Ansible Pull mode:

java-install.yml  
“”"

- name: downloading java binary from s3  
shell: /usr/bin/s3cmd get s3://s3-installs/packages/jdk-{{ JDK\_VERSION }}-linux-x64-rpm.bin --force {{ DOWNLOAD\_DIR }}/

- name: making java binary executable  
file: dest={{ DOWNLOAD\_DIR }}/jdk-{{ JDK\_VERSION }}-linux-x64-rpm.bin mode=0544

- name: Installing Java  
shell: yes | {{ DOWNLOAD\_DIR }}/jdk-\*-linux-x64-rpm.bin  
sudo: yes

“”"

Error :  
“”"

I’m running ansible-pull as root and the master playbook used as argument in ansible-pull has user:root and sudo:yes define d:

Your mask is probably different and the .bin file is not executable in pull  
mode, I would add a task after download and before execution to ensure this  
or set the mask on download to ensure it is executable.

using the .bin file aboslue path in pull mode seem to have fixed the problem .

Thanks.
