lafarer / ansible-role-osx-defaults Goto Github PK

Defaults availability depends on macOS version.
Defaults implementation sometimes depends on macOS version (Desktop background image for example).

• Tasks/groups should be tagged/labelled with macOS versions they apply to (as done here https://www.defaults-write.com/).
• Tasks/groups should be automatically disabled based on the macOS version.

Thanks for the package, this may likely not be an issue but rather my limited knowledge of Ansible. Whichever, I'm unable to get the settings to make the changes to my mac.

My playbook looks like this:

---
- hosts: all

  vars_files:
    - default.config.yml

 roles:
      - { role: lafarer.osx-defaults }

And my default.config.yml.

Configure_Bluetooth: yes
Bluetooth_ShowInMenuBar: no
target_user_id: '<my_username>'

The relevant portion of the output:

TASK [lafarer.osx-defaults : Bluetooth - Show Bluetooth in menu bar] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [127.0.0.1]

It keeps skipping the Bluetooth section even though I have manually turned on the Bluetooth menu from settings.

I did a check to make sure that the ansible_user_id matches the target_user_id as well.

I noticed two other things that may or may not be related:

• Does Ansible auto-discover handlers in the handlers directory? I didn't see where the handlers were defined explicitly like the handlers section in this guide.
• This checks if Bluetooth_ShowInMenuBar is true but it seems that we need to cast strings to bool as shown here.

I'm running Ansible 2.10.4.

This is an awesome role, by far the most comprehensive I've seen.
Is there any chance you'd be willing to start tagging your releases?

(That way dependent playbooks could refer to tags with known functionality, and not pull off master, which might contain breaking changes. I think this would also give you a safe way to introduce breaking changes...)

Regardless, I will definitely be using this role, thanks for all the time and effort you put into it.

(I'm working on this project currently, I would like to use this role as part of my own machine's profile.)

Defined as Safari_HistoryAgeInDaysLimits (plural) in vars but referred to as Safari_HistoryAgeInDaysLimit (singular) in tasks.
