I have a set of playbooks that sets up a development env on mac os x. It worked until Yosemite.

the playbooks won’t prompt for the sudo password

I have sshpass installed and it passes sshpass -V

This simple script shows what happens.

check current devel, just fix bug that ask\_sudo\_pass in ansible.cfg  
was not honored in 1.9.

Thanks Brian for the fast resonse

is it possible to get it via homebrew and how would I do that. I can use macports or pip or other though I prefer homebrew.

none of the above? git clone is best way to checkout current repo. We  
actually do not encourage using homebrew as it breaks many things with  
the way it patches/manages ansible.
