vagrant up : No package matching 'server.packages' is available

[dumindu]

• I used http://phansible.com/ to generate https://file.io/v3TnEr
• when run vagrant up it gives "No package matching 'server.packages' is available" (log : https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8954010)
• non of packages I've selected has been installed.

I am using windows and hosts file has been updated. Anything has to be changed?

[dumindu]

generated file: /ansible/roles/server/tasks/main.yml

- name: Install Extra Packages
  sudo: yes
  apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
  with_items: server.packages
  when: server.packages is defined

should have to be

- name: Install Extra Packages
  sudo: yes
  apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
  with_items: "{{ server.packages }}"
  when: server.packages is defined

This is a duplicate of #274

@dumindu you can fix this by replacing the following line in ansible/roles/server/tasks/main.yml...

Before...

- name: Install Extra Packages
  sudo: yes
  apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
  with_items: server.packages           <=== Replace this line...
  when: server.packages is defined

After...

- name: Install Extra Packages
  sudo: yes
  apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
  with_items: "{{ server.packages }}"     <=== ... with this line
  when: server.packages is defined

I've tried to find "server.packages" in the repo, so that I can submit a PR, but can't find it. Can anyone shed some light?

Thank you all for the thread. I'm a bit away from the project lately but I want to make the project active again.

@toby-griffiths, did you also check the roles under? https://github.com/phansible If I can correctly remember this is where the roles come from.

Hi @InFog, Ah… I don't think I did. I'm a bit snowed under this week, but I'll try to find time next week to take a look.

@toby-griffiths sorry for the very late reply. The issue is caused by me pretending to be smart and ansible trying to be as safe as possible.

Phansible generated vars wipe entirely the default one belonging to the roles instead of merging with them. It's an intended behaviour so I will need to move the default vars to be in the snake case format instead of the dotted one or use the combine filter when processing them. It will all come as part of the next development iteration.
