ansible-win_git's Issues

Support git clone recursive for submodules

Currently if your git repo has submodules, those submodules are not fetched because close is not recursive

Do you think is possible to add recursive option like on official no windows module https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/git_module.html ?

Unsure how to implement the win_git module

I have added win_git,ps1 and win_git.py to a library folder which is on the same level as my playbooks folder.

I am receiving a syntax error when I try to use the win_git module though. I think this is becuase ansible doesn't recognise the module. Do I need to reference the library folder somehow? Also will this work when both machines are windows?

Clone function breaks after upgrade from 2.7.10 to 2.8.1

Has anyone else had issues cloning a repository after upgrading to Ansible 2.8.1. I can provide more details if so. We had two environments that were working on 2.7.10 but are no longer working on 2.8.1. Thanks

key_file - paramater missing

Hi

Can we use key_file parameter using win_git? we need to attach private key along with git command

无法运行脚本"wingit.ps1"

这个是什么意思呢？

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression

I am running

[user@server dir]$ ansible --version ansible 2.5.0 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/home/rserve_user/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Nov 6 2016, 00:28:07) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)]

I have your module in my playbook library and am trying to create a very simple playbook using win_git

`---

This playbook uses the win_ping module to test connectivity to Windows hosts

• name: Clone
  hosts: clients

  tasks:

  • name: Git Clone Repo
    win_git:
    name: "ssh://git@stash:port/foo/repoName.git"
    dest: "C:\temp"
    replace_dest: yes
    accept_hostkey: yes
    update: yes
    branch: master
    `

I get an error back from powershell complaining about a null value

`PLAY [Clone] *********************************************************************************************************

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

TASK [Git Clone Repo] ****************************************************************
fatal: [server]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error cloning ssh://git@stash:port/foo/repoName.git to C:\temp!

to retry, use: --limit @/home/user/repo/clone.retry

PLAY RECAP ***********************************************************************************************************
server : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
`

I tried using different options but still no dice.

If I comment out the checkout function from the clone and update I no longer get an error but I still get no repo cloned. Any ideas?

Need help with win_git installation

Dear guys,

I'm running awx via docker container. How can I add this module into awx?
P/s: Tried to add win_git.ps1 and win_git.py into /usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules

Thank and regards,

powershell generates the wrong known_hosts file encoding

When using the Out-File Cmdlet the file encoding is wrong for SSH. SSH would only accept utf8, but by default the Cmdlet spits out utf16. The encoding option doesn't work as expected either. -Encoding utf8 writes with UTF8 with BOM, which doesn't work. The only way I found to make it work was with the ascii encoding. I don't know whether this will create problems in the long run, though.

git causes NativeCommandError

I am using Ansible 2.8.1 with latest win_git module targeting a Windows 10 Pro 1903 machine running Git for Windows 2.16.2. Updating an existing git clone fails, see below. Initial cloning fails with a similar issue.

TASK [win_git] ************************************************************************************
task path: ansible-win_git.yaml:10
Using module file library/win_git.ps1
Pipelining is enabled.
<192.168.xx.xx> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: user on PORT 5986 TO 192.168.xx.xx

    "changed": false,
    "cmd_msg": null,
    "msg": "Error cloning https://github.com/tivrobo/ansible-win_git.git to C:\\ansible-win_git! Msg: Already on 'master' - ",
    "win_git": {
        "accept_hostkey": true,
        "branch": "master",
        "clone": false,
        "dest": "C:\\ansible-win_git",
        "git_opts": "--no-pager pull origin master",
        "method": "pull",
        "recursive": true,
        "replace_dest": false,
        "repo": "https://github.com/tivrobo/ansible-win_git.git",
        "update": true,
        "valid_url": "https://github.com/tivrobo/ansible-win_git.git is valid url"
    }
}

I recognized that this is caused by git generating a NativeCommandError exception when being executing in Powershell:

PS C:\ansible-win_git> git --no-pager checkout master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
git : Already on 'master'
At line:1 char:1
+ git --no-pager checkout master
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Already on 'master':String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

As a work around I added the following into win_git.ps1:

$env:GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR = '2>&1'

This changes the behavior of git in Powershell to the following:

PS C:\ansible-win_git> $env:GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR = '2>&1'
PS C:\ansible-win_git> git --no-pager checkout master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Already on 'master'

No exception is thrown anymore. The drawback is all stderr is merged into stdout.
