Installing with --user-install never finishes about rvm1-ansible

[jogaco]

Fed up with manual installation, I gave this a go but got stuck with the same problem.
Ubuntu 16.10.
Task just freezes for hours.
The docs do not seem to provide an instantly working setup, or there's something I missed.

Trying this still no luck:

ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini ruby_script.yml --user myuser --ask-sudo-pass -v

---
- name: Configure servers with ruby support for single user
  hosts: newservers

  roles:
    - { role: rvm_io.ruby,
        tags: ruby,
        rvm1_rubies: ['ruby-2.3.3'],
        rvm1_user: 'myuser',
        rvm1_install_flags: '--auto-dotfiles --user-install',
        rvm1_install_path: '/home/{{ ansible_user }}/.rvm',
        sudo: yes
      }

And this is the last part of the output I am getting:

TASK [rvm_io.ruby : Detect if rubies are installed] ****************************
ok: [46.xxx.xxx.xx] => (item=ruby-2.3.3) => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["/home/myuser/.rvm/bin/rvm", "ruby-2.3.3", "do", "true"], "delta": "0:00:00.378382", "end": "2016-12-02 19:43:03.639547", "failed": false, "failed_when_result": false, "item": "ruby-2.3.3", "rc": 2, "start": "2016-12-02 19:43:03.261165", "stderr": "Ruby ruby-2.3.3 is not installed.", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": [], "warnings": []}

TASK [rvm_io.ruby : Install rubies] ********************************************

Freezes and does not output anything else.
Until I Ctrl-C it:

^CProcess WorkerProcess-12:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap
    self.run()
 [ERROR]: User interrupted execution

Any help would be appreciated.
The user myuser is a sudo user.

I have some error of Ruby ruby-2.3.3 is not installed and freeze, but it's working with root on Ubuntu 14.04.

rvm1_install_path: '/usr/local/share/rvm'
rvm1_install_flags: '--user-install'
rvm1_user: 'root'

[jogaco]

I don't think installing with root is a good idea. Check out #127

[mpapis]

by never how long do you mean? what operating system/version is this?

[asgerb]

I've had it running for approximately 2 hours, at which point I've stopped the task. Without the --user-install flag it only takes about 5-10 minutes, so I figured there was something wrong. Is it normal for it to take so long?

I've updated the original comment with specifications.

[mpapis]

fresh instances of OSX will take extremely long, on slow machines like older Macs it might take few hours, lets be clear - it's Apple fault, they do not provide package manager, users have to install custom package managers which not always provide binary packages, there is no way to provide binary compatibility because every user might have different package manager and it can be installed in different paths, thank Apple or switch to Linux.

let the installer run till it finishes

[asgerb]

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. I'm running the script from my Mac running OS X Yosemite. The script is running on a VPS with Ubuntu 14.04. As far as I understand your comment, it assumes I'm trying to run the script on Mac OS X?

[mpapis]

ah right, on Ubuntu it should not take so long, are you getting any logs?

[asgerb]

When I run the script with verbose flag it just hangs here:

Is there a way besides -vvvv to get some more info back from the task?

[nickjj]

@asgerb What happens if you set sudo: True?

Also you could try running the install ruby task manually on the machine to see if you get any feedback.

/$HOME/.rvm/bin/rvm install 2.1.3

[asgerb]

@nickjj Success! But I thought I didn't need to/shouldn't include that?

[nickjj]

Yeah, that confused me too. I didn't think rvm ever required sudo for user installs but it seems like for certain libraries it will internally make some calls with sudo when it installs ruby.

It seems like more accurate documentation will fix this issue?

[asgerb]

Thanks so much 👍
Indeed the documentation could use an amendment in this regard :)
