Error running the zookeeper.yml playbook

[JNKHunter]

Issuing the command:

ansible-playbook ./zookeeper.yml --extra-vars "zookeeper_tag=Name_insight-test" --tags install

yields the following error:

PLAY [Creating host group zookeeper from dynamic inventory] *******************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]

TASK [add_host] ***************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'dict object' has no attribute u'tag_Name_insight_test'"}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1 

Here is the contents of my vars.yml file:

key_pair: ssh
instance_type: t2.medium
region: us-west-2
security_group_id: sg-7590d60e
num_instances: 2
subnet_id: subnet-1cd01347
tag_key_vals:
  Name: insight-test
  class: kafka
  class2: zookeeper

Any ideas if I'm doing something wrong or if a bug may be causing this?

[sulphur]

got the same error. Have you figured it out ?

@sulphur I switched to installing my cluster manually, and eventually created my own installation scripts to automate.

This error is related to the way you run:

ansible-playbook ./ec2.yml — extra-vars “vars_file=./example_ec2_vars.yml” — tags launch

In example_ec2_vars.yml you have tag_key_vals defined, in my case looks like this:

tag_key_vals:
  Name: techie8-dev-kafka-cluster
  class: kafka
  class2: zookeeper

Hence you need to run:

ansible-playbook ./zookeeper.yml --extra-vars "zookeeper_tag=Name_techie8-dev-kafka-cluster" --tags install
