"Ensure a list of packages installed" task failed with ansible 2.13 about alfresco-ansible-deployment HOT 5 CLOSED

As a work around I deleted that task, but it would be nice to fix it.

Hello,

Ansible 2.13

we are currently testing the playbook with Ansible 2.12.x, so the first suspect could be that in 2.13 it have been deprecated the support to provide the list of packages as a space separated string.

Can you try again after downgrading ansible to 2.12.8?

Please be aware also that in latest master we recently switched from plain requirements.txt to pipenv that should prevents this kind of issues, if you want to give it a try.

The referenced PR build confirms that the issue is caused by ansible 2.13, let's see if there is a way to make both versions happy.

We have got mostly green builds with the now updated development version, for the future we are going to setup a dedicated build for making sure that the playbook will works with the upcoming ansible-core versions.

Thanks for reporting!

Ok great. Btw, I didn't see anywhere in the installation instructions how to restart the alfresco service. It doesn't seem to start up properly when I reboot the machine. Yesterday after installation everything worked fine, but after restarting the machine today I get a 502 bad gateway when I try to go to localhost or localhost/share... Any tips? I'll probably submit a new issue.

I followed the instructions here for a single machine: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/ansible/#local-installation
