semaphore: Listing playbook hosts failed

@andavas Fixed. Please update semaphore by command:

sudo snap refresh semaphore

@Driaan I switched to using rundeck. it has an Ansible plugin and runs great. Using your system Ansible install etc and I just love it. would recommend

I’m getting a similar error:

I am running in pve > lxc > ubuntu 22.04. Installed through snapd, nothing else done to the system apart from creating a new user and adjusting ssh options

i have the same issue with exit status 1 no further description… standalone install using static or file host no difference

12:17:25 PM installing static inventory 12:17:25 PM No roles/requirements.yml file found. Skip galaxy install process. 12:17:26 PM Listing playbook hosts failed: exit status 1

Any ideas?

did you solved it? having the exact same issue and also using no snap but “normal” installation of semaphore… its really hard to debug as I cannot find any useful logs or output anywhere…

EDIT: found the actual reason for my issue and created a ticket at #890 as the above is really just a generic hint which can’t be fixed without using the CLI to see the real error.

Sorry for delay.

@Vitexus , problem solved?

it even works with the bundled version of Ansible… just not in the web ui

/root/snap/semaphore/common/ansible_env/bin/ansible-playbook -i inventory_2147483572 --step -e "ansible_user=pi ansible_ssh_pass=<password>" repository_2_7/setup-ssh-tunneling.yml

I have exactly the same problem as @Vitexus … I suspect this is somehow an Ansible error, but I don’t know how to debug that

@fiftin Thanks for your work in resolving this. This problem appears to be resolved but Ansible is still outputting some warnings:

It still appears to work fine but it does output those warnings.

It works! Well, kind of… I’m having some connection issues with SSH keys, but I believe this is somehow my fault. This time the task ran (with https key) before Ansible returning the error code 4 (unreachable).

I have the same issue, but when I updated the snap version and run the task again, I faced the following error:

Task # added to queue

I did a complete reinstall of the server, now I am getting:

Listing playbook hosts failed: exec: "ansible-playbook": executable file not found in $PATH

So I installed Ansible, however I still get the same problem but note:

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

whereis ansible-playbook
ansible-playbook: /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook
