      So I know this will likely light a flame for someone, but when in the hell is yaml so annoying?

      @IRJ how do I check my yaml configuration using the software you recommended, both VSCode and the extension are installed - just not sure how the heck to use yet.

        Okay so in using the test.yaml file buried within the geerlingguy folder I was able to at least get some progress.

        ansible-playbook -i hosts apple.yml
        
        PLAY [x.x.x.143] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
        
        TASK [Gathering Facts] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
        ok: [x.x.x.143]
        
        PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
        x.x.x.143             : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
        

        But doesn't seem to install based on what's in the apple.yml file

        ---
        - hosts: 1x.x.x.143
          vars:
        	homebrew_clear_cache: true
        	homebrew_installed_packages:
        	  - ssh-copy-id  # from homebrew/core
        	  - nginx-full  # from dengi/nginx
        	homebrew_cask_apps:
        	  - 1Password # from hombrew/cask

          Oh! I thought you were only using a single file.

          Ok let's back up. can you show the folder structure of geerlingguy folder?

            It shows you when there is a formatting error

            No error

            Error. File lights up red and gives you a tip on how to fix.

                The clients file and ssh.sh are for a quick deployment of the ssh key to all of my workstations if this works out :-).

                But ignore them for now.

                  This is the updated apply.yml file

                  ---
                  - hosts: apple_workstations
                    vars:
                  	homebrew_repo: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew
                  	homebrew_prefix: /usr/local
                  	homebrew_install_path: "{{ homebrew_prefix }}/Homebrew"
                  	homebrew_bin_path: /usr/local/bin
                  	homebrew_clear_cache: true
                  	homebrew_installed_packages:
                  	  - ssh-copy-id  # from homebrew/core
                  	  - nginx-full  # from dengi/nginx
                  	homebrew_cask_apps:
                  	  - 1password
                  	homebrew_taps:
                  	  - homebrew/cask
                  	  - { name: denji/nginx, url: 'https://github.com/denji/homebrew-nginx.git' }
                  	homebrew_cask_accept_external_apps: true
                  	homebrew_cask_appdir: /Applications
                  

                  It runs without issue, but doesn't actually install 1password

                    Ok let's try this. Is your playbook only one file?

                    #***********************************************************
                    # Create or append ansible requirements file
                    #***********************************************************
                    
                    
                    sudo sh -c "echo '- src: /etc/ansible/roles/geerlineguy' >> /etc/ansible/requirements.yml"
                    
                    #***********************************************************
                    # Install the role
                    #***********************************************************
                    
                    cd /etc/ansible/
                    sudo ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r /etc/ansible/requirements.yml
                    
                    #***********************************************************
                    # Run ansible playbook file
                    #***********************************************************
                    
                    sudo ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/apple.yml
                    

                    Updated. try this

                              Just try running it first. If you delete the role, then the reference to source file will break.

                                        @IRJ just did, not sure why they're in there as I haven't touched this file.

                                        They are there because we did echo command in script to add them.
