Hi - I'm having trouble using the shell module with become_user. As a basic
test, I created this playbook:
- name: Retrieve environment variables for root
shell: printenv
- name: Retrieve environment variables for oracle
shell: printenv
become: yes
become_user: oracle
When I ran this with ansible-playbook and '-vvv', I noticed:
- the output received from the first task was as expected:
"stdout": "HOSTTYPE=x86_64\nSSH_CONNECTION=10.247.229.46 35330
10.247.229.191 22\nLESSCLOSE=lessclose.sh %s
%s\nXKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB\n_=/usr/bin/printenv\nLANG=POSIX\nWINDOWMANAGER=xterm\nLESS=-M
-I
-R\nHOSTNAME=ldpdd191\nCSHEDIT=emacs\nGPG_TTY=/dev/pts/0\nLESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR=no\nCOLORTERM=1\nMACHTYPE=x86_64-suse-linux\nMINICOM=-c

%s",
but the output received from the second task (which uses 'become_user') was
not correct:
"stdout":
"_=/usr/bin/printenv\nLANG=POSIX\nSUDO_GID=0\nCOLORTERM=1\nSUDO_COMMAND=/bin/sh
-c echo BECOME-SUCCESS-ukrwuqlueafnghzqqoabhpfcwxwpieyw ;
/usr/bin/python3.6
/var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1695847065.2341652-30706-3263662880779/AnsiballZ_command.py\nUSER=oracle\nPWD=/home/oracle/.ansible/tmp/ansible-moduletmp-1695847065.5976799-u8hbo4o2\nHOME=/home/oracle\nLC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8\nSUDO_USER=root\nSUDO_UID=0\nMAIL=/var/mail/oracle\nTERM=xterm\nSHELL=/bin/bash\nSHLVL=2\nLOGNAME=oracle\nPATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin",
so, it seem that using 'become_user' perverts the function of the 'shell'
module, and the command provided is not executed as expected. Is this a
known bug/limitation?
Thanks!
