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?

To summarize, everything is installed in the default locations.

/etc/ansible/

8 directories, 17 files

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

DustinB3403

@IRJ Each command individually?

yes reinstall the role this way

DustinB3403

@IRJ So wouldn't I have to delete the role first?

DustinB3403

Also this fails.

sudo ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r /etc/ansible/requirements.yml
 [WARNING]: - /etc/ansible/apple.yml was NOT installed successfully: the file downloaded was not a tar.gz

ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list.

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

let me see your /etc/ansible/requirements.yml

cat /etc/ansible/requirements.yml
- src: /etc/ansible/apple.yml
- src: /etc/ansible/apple.yml
- src: /etc/ansible/roles/geerlineguy

get rid of the first two entries

DustinB3403

@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.

Running ansible-playbook -i hosts apple.yml

 ansible-playbook -i hosts apple.yml

PLAY [apple_workstations] *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

x.x.x.143             : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

So I think the playbook and role are installed correctly.

what changed?

DustinB3403

@IRJ I used the test.yml file from within the geerlingguy tests folder.

I stated this up above.

What doesn't appear to work is anything actually being installed. . .
