Hi Carlos.
When I launch the rollback playbook always restore the first release when should be the last.

Can you help me to understand the problem?

Thanks.

This is my playbooks content:

Deploy:

• name: Deploy the application
  hosts: all
  remote_user: "{{ production_deploy_user }}"
  sudo: no

  vars:
  ansistrano_deploy_from: "../snowflake" # Base path to deploy from.
  ansistrano_deploy_to: "../snowflake3" # Base path to deploy to.
  ansistrano_version_dir: "releases" # Releases folder name
  ansistrano_current_dir: "current" # Softlink name. You should rarely changed it.
  ansistrano_remove_rolled_back: yes # You can change this setting in order to keep the rolled back release in the server for later inspection
  ansistrano_allow_anonymous_stats: yes
  ansistrano_keep_releases: 3

  roles:

  • carlosbuenosvinos.ansistrano-deploy

Rollback:

• name: Rollback the application
  hosts: all
  remote_user: "{{ production_deploy_user }}"
  sudo: no

  vars:
  ansistrano_deploy_to: "../snowflake3" # Base path to deploy to.
  ansistrano_version_dir: "releases" # Releases folder name
  ansistrano_current_dir: "current" # Softlink name. You should rarely changed it.

  roles:

  • carlosbuenosvinos.ansistrano-rollback

Hi @cespedosa . Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I found that the ls commands in tasks/setup.yml were invalid. As written, the "-1t" appears after the release path, whereas it should be before, surely?

So each one needs switching around to look like:

shell: echo `ls -1t {{ ansistrano_releases_path.stdout }} | wc -l`

or similar. After making those changes, I found the role far more useful.

At least in Ubuntu you can put -1t before or after the release path... are you having an issue in some particular Linux distro? Rollback works as expected for many people

Hi @ricardclau . I'm on FreeBSD (same applies on Mac OS and probably other BSDs):

app1% touch test.txt
app1% ls test.txt -1t
ls: -1t: No such file or directory
test.txt
app1% ls -1t test.txt
test.txt

(Edit: removed man page reference]

Yeah, I suspected that, same happens in Mac as you said :)

Cool, will modify the ls calls, thanks!

Hi @ratbag98 and @cespedosa can you please test fix_bsd branch at #14 ?

from rollback.

@ricardclau - will test more fully later, but I can say that your code is identical to my revised code, so that's good enough for me. :) Thanks for the speedy responses.

Cool, will merge and tag as this is currently broken for such distros

Please @cespedosa provide more feedback when you get some time!
