I am trying to clone a git repo on my local system. I have done this manually and it works fine, but when I try to do it via Ansible, it doesn't work out

Here is my play:

---
  - name: Create a directory on root
    file:
      path: "{{ local_home_dir }}/superb-queue"
      owner: "{{ local_user }}"
      group: "{{ local_user }}"
      state: directory
    delegate_to: localhost

  - name: Clone the bitbucket queue repo locally
    git:
      repo: git@bitbucket.org:superbhq/queue-main.git
      dest: "{{ local_home_dir }}/superb-queue"
      clone: yes
      recursive: yes
      force: yes
      accept_hostkey: yes
      version: master
      key_file: "{{ local_home_dir }}/.ssh/id_rsa"
    become_user: "{{ local_user }}"
    delegate_to: localhost

The error I get is:

ASK [deploy-queue-main : Clone the bitbucket queue repo locally] ******************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [10.0.3.219 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/bin/git clone --origin origin '' /home/nishant/superb-queue", "msg": "fatal: destination path '/home/nishant/superb-queue' already exists and is not an empty directory.", "rc": 128, "stderr": "fatal: destination path '/home/nishant/superb-queue' already exists and is not an empty directory.\n", "stderr_lines": ["fatal: destination path '/home/nishant/superb-queue' already exists and is not an empty directory."], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

The directory is empty on the localsystem, and I have the right keys. Not sure why this is happening

You are running the task concurrently on multiple host targets, each of which is delegating to the local host, effectively competing with each other:

fatal: [10.0.3.219 -> localhost]: ...
fatal: [10.0.4.36 -> localhost]: ...

Add run_once: true to the task.

You have two errors:

  • path '/home/nishant/superb-queue' already exists and is not an empty directory
    If you already cloned your repo manually, make sure to delete that cloned repository folder before attempting it again through Ansible.
  • git@bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey).
    Make sure Ansible is running with the same account as yours, in order to use the same SSH keys in ~/.ssh.
    Or define the right ansible.cfg.

As mentioned in issue 5722, try:

- name: Clone code repository
  git:  repo=example.com/repos/enterprise.git
        dest=/home/user/enterprise
        accept_hostkey=yes
        force=yes
        recursive=no
        key_file={{ userhome }}/.ssh/id_rsa
        depth={{ repo_depth }}

Here, dest should be the (non-existing) root folder of the cloned repository (not ~, but ~/myrepo).

From your question, I assume that you are using public repo if not then you should have added key_file and you probably need to add a user also.

Please have a look at the below solution for more info https://stackoverflow.com/a/39735848/9857025

Let us know if this helped.

  • yes , i added the key file and that works.. but still the "msg": "fatal: destination path '/home/nishant/superb-queue' already exists and is not an empty directory. – Nishant Singh Jun 15 '18 at 04:55
  • Clear the directory before you clone. The directory needs to be empty while you are cloning. Once it's done you are good to go –  Jun 15 '18 at 05:00
  • try deleting the 'superb-queue' and clone in 'nishant'. Let me know if that worked –  Jun 15 '18 at 05:03
