Cannot run program ansible-playbook

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi Team,

      I'm not able to execute ansible-playbook via plugin. When I hope in to the system found file is exist on the path tried to run same playbook manually from the same path it is working flawlessly.

      Please find the jenkins pipeline (plugin) logs below.

      [workspace] $ ansible-playbook clone-repo.yml -i inventory --private-key /Users/codiant/.jenkins/jobs/Sample-Node/workspace/ssh10574020522.key -u ubuntu

          [JENKINS-67209] Cannot run program ansible-playbook

          I have run into this same problem.

          Plugin version: 1.1

          Jenkins version: 2.321

          OS: Oracle Linux 7

          I did go into the jenkins user shell and was able to access 'ansible' and 'ansible-playbook' which I believe means they are in the jenkins user PATH. That was my first suspicion for the error but now I am at a loss. 
          This worked before when ansible was installed with yum, which caused ansible to use Python 2.7. I reinstalled ansible using pip so that it would use Python 3. That changed caused this error.

          I was never able to solve why jenkins could not find Ansible in the path. However, I solved this by defining the Ansible location in "Global Tool Configuration". You can specify the folder with the Ansible executables with a name. 

          Then in the groovy script, you need a new parameter to call the installation. In my example, I named the executable location "ansible". The "installation" line tells the Ansible plugin to use the installation location.

          ansiblePlaybook(
          playbook: DYNAMIC_PLAYBOOK,
          inventory: INVENTORY_FILE,
          installation: 'ansible',
          )

          Thanks travis_mcelroy for mentioning the installation variant - still have the same problem in 2023 with the path one and via installation configuration it works.
