os_network module and changing project names not working

Archives Ansible Project

Hello,

I have an ansible playbook that is responsible for creating all of the projects we have defined in our projects.yml file.

This playbook currently:

  • creates all of our projects
  • adds our admin_group to the projects

I am trying to use os_network to create a default private network and subnet under each project, however the network is always created under my admin project space.

I originally had this code:
–snip–

  • name: Creating Project Networks
    os_network:
    name: “{{ item.1.network.name }}”
    state: “{{ item.0.state }}”
    shared: False
    external: False
    with_subelements:
  • “{{ projects }}”
  • networks

–snip–

My credentials are currently set to the default admin account and are loaded via the OS_ environment variables by sourcing an openrc file. When I execute the above code all the networks and subnets are created under the admin tenant.

I tried using the following with a hardcoded project_name:
–snip–

  • name: Creating Project Networks
    os_network:
    auth:
    username: admin
    password: my_special_password
    auth_url: http://<my_ip>:5000/v3
    project_name: testproject1
    auth_type: password
    name: “{{ item.1.network.name }}”
    state: “{{ item.0.state }}”
    shared: False
    external: False
    with_subelements:
  • “{{ projects }}”
  • networks

–snip–

However the networks are still created under the admin tenant, is it safe to assume that previous os_* modules have cached an auth token? Is there a better way to interact with multiple projects when using the os_* modules?

Thanks
Michael

What you’re trying to do is not currently supported, but lucky for you,
a community member has already been working on this:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/3236

This also requires a new release of the shade library to support the
new project parameter.

Thanks for the info, I am looking forward to that change :slight_smile:

Currently I am making it work via the following method:
–snip–

  • name: Creating Project Networks
    os_network:
    name: “{{ item.0.name }}_{{ item.1.network.name }}”
    state: “{{ item.0.state }}”
    shared: False
    external: False
    environment:
    OS_PROJECT_NAME: “{{ item.0.name }}”
    OS_TENANT_NAME: “{{ item.0.name }}”
    OS_TENANT_ID: “”

–snip–

Changing the OS_ environment vars for this task seem to work, I wouldn’t attempt to try anything complicated with this approach. However it is meeting my needs of adding some defaults to newly created projects.
