Fails when installing packages

[misilot]

This task is failing when trying to install with the following task https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-archivematica-src/blob/stable/1.15.x/tasks/install-packages.yml#L8-L13

This is on Ubuntu 22.04LTS

        }
    },
    "msg": "value of state must be one of: absent, build-dep, fixed, latest, present, got: {'code': 16, 'name': 'running'}"
}

For some reason the status is getting {'code': 16, 'name': 'running'} instead of another value.

Is state defined somewhere else? I tried greping but did not see it.

Adding state: latest to https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-archivematica-src/blob/stable/1.15.x/tasks/main.yml#L122-L128 seemed to have fixed it at least for us locally.

Also had to add it to this file https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-archivematica-src/blob/stable/1.15.x/tasks/ss-osdeps.yml#L66-L75

Now stuck on this step

another place I needed to adjust

https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-archivematica-src/blob/stable/1.15.x/tasks/pipeline-osdeps.yml#L99-L115

re: the virtualenv step above.

I just deleted everything in the virtualenv directory, figuring Ansible will recreate it

Sorry, we should use a different variable name, instead "state"

In your inventory or playbooks you have defined:

state:
  - code: 16
    name: "running"

And when calling the following, it is not using the default value (latest)

https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-archivematica-src/blob/stable/1.15.x/tasks/install-packages.yml#L8-L13

That's the reason because it fails to you and it works for us.

We are going to change that variable name, and set less generic one.

[misilot]

Hmm, I can't find anything in my inventory or playbook that defines: "state", "16" or "running"

[misilot]

Ok, so I found it. It looks like it's coming from the aws_ec2 inventory plugin we use

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/aws_ec2_inventory.html

or more specifically the awscli https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/develop/awscli/examples/lightsail/get-instance.rst you can see the state variable defined as an example :(
