[ovirt-users] Issue with ovirt-ansible-roles

[Luca 'remix_tj' Lorenzetto]

Hello,

a quick resume of my issue. I haven't really solved yet because i'm
hitting a pair of bugs, but Ondra Machaceck helped me troubleshooting
and finding out the bug.

We had a conversation out of the mailinglist, so i've been to send him
uncensored logs.

First thing he suggested me is to introduce a change to:

 /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ovirtsdk4/__init__.py

and change line 468 to:

 raise Error("Failed to read response: {}".format(err_list))

So i had a more informative error. This is clearly a violation of the
principles of the zen of python, because the error was not explicit
and is somewhat a bit silenced.

Error changed then to:

Error: Failed to read response: [(<pycurl.Curl object at 0x20409b0>,
6, 'Could not resolve host: ovirtengine.intranet.******y; Name
or service not known')]


This is an ansible bug: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/19278

Since my password is (not the real one) "compan", ansible hides any
possible entry of "compan" (the password) in all the parameters. So
ansible scrables the params and the module is instructed to connect to
the url ovirtengine.intranet.******y and not to
ovirtengine.intranet.company.

The only workaround available is to have a password that is not used
anywhere else, or ansible will replace pieces of parameters with
sequences of *.

Weird, but that's it.

Thank you Ondra for the RCA.

Luca
