Hi all,
My understanding of delegate_to is that it runs the task on the designated
host, once for each host in the current group, and with the current host's
variables.
I have this:
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
- tasks:
[ ... stuff ... ]
- name: Copy override file for database information
template: >
src=templates/user_data.json
dest={{ app_exec_dir }}/core/AWS_OVERRIDE.json
delegate_to: "{{ retrieved_instance.public_ip }}"
I see this, where <proper host> is the correct IP address:
TASK: [Copy override file for database information] ***************************
<proper host> EXEC ['/bin/sh', '-c', 'mkdir -p
$HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1399297955.21-265740010111281 && chmod a+rx

failed: [127.0.0.1] => {"failed": true}
msg: Destination /srv/sp/web/core not writable
The directory does exist on the delegate_to host:
(sp_devops)GoatRodeo:devops anderson$ ssh -i keys/hoopdy.id_rsa ubuntu@<proper
host>
ubuntu@ip-10-2-1-174:~$ ls /srv/sp/web/core
[... stuff ...]
If I add the directory to the *local* machine running Ansible, the script finds
it. This is telling me that the template command is actually trying to copy to
the local machine and not the delegate_to machine.
If this is not what delegate_to is for, is there another way to run a single
task on a single host not in the current group without having to pop all the
way back up to the playbook context and add another host: section?
Thanks,
-scott
