@IRJ just did, not sure why they're in there as I haven't touched this file.

They are there because we did echo command in script to add them.

what changed?
-
@IRJ I used the test.yml file from within the geerlingguy tests folder.
I stated this up above.
What doesn't appear to work is anything actually being installed. . .
-
Ok I'm eating dinner and I'll make a post afterwards.

Ok. I made a skeleton repo for you here. This is how I set up all of my playbooks. I use a single repo for most of my playbooks and then the roles have their own repositories (because they're called in with Galaxy). I never use the
/etc/ansibledirectory because of permissions issues and it's not portable. You can take this one step further and use a virtualenv but that's for later after you get this working.It will be easiest if you fork this and have your own. Clone your copy locally and then put your playbook(s) in the top level folder of the repository. In the inventory directory, add a file called
macsor whatever your group is called, but still add the group name in the file like you would normally. It's just a nice way to be able to separate things out logically so you can see them easier. Also add any group_vars if you have them.Add your role to the
roles/requirements.ymlfile. Once you've added all of your files to your repo, commit your changes. Then runmake roles. It will remove any roles you've installed, and then reinstall them. Now you should be ready to run the playbook.You can also run
make cleanand it will reset your repository to the latest commit. So if you want to keep the work make sure to commit. -
Okay so this is my existing tree.

I think your missing my point. Don't use /etc/ansible.
Clone the repo somewhere in your home directory that you store your projects and run everything from there.
-
@stacksofplates eh. . .
Can I just use mv at this point?

I mean you can but that's the reason this is all in a repo, so you can just check it out anywhere.
-
Plus your tree doesn't have the inventory directory which the ansible.cfg file is looking for.

Hopefully that's better?

Yeah. I mean I'm not trying to make you do it certain way, but if you want to use that skeleton, it's looking for things in a certain directory unless you modify it.
-
So I'd put your playbook in
/etc/ansi/playbook-skeletonand then you can runmake rolesto install the role (after you add it to the requirements.yml of course).
