I'm trying to run a python script from an ansible script. I would think this would be an easy thing to do, but I can't figure it out. I've got a project structure like this:
playbook-folder
roles
stagecode
files
mypythonscript.py
tasks
main.yml
release.yml
I'm trying to run mypythonscript.py within a task in main.yml (which is a role used in release.yml). Here's the task:
- name: run my script!
command: ./roles/stagecode/files/mypythonscript.py
args:
chdir: /dir/to/be/run/in
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
I've also tried ../files/mypythonscript.py. I thought the path for ansible would be relative to the playbook, but I guess not?
I also tried debugging to figure out where I am in the middle of the script, but no luck there either.
- name: figure out where we are
stat: path=.
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
register: righthere
- name: print where we are
debug: msg="{{righthere.stat.path}}"
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
That just prints out ".". So helpful ...
try to use script directive, it works for me
my main.yml
---
- name: execute install script
script: get-pip.py
and get-pip.py file should be in files in the same role
