Async/Poll Ruby Install Task about rbenv HOT 8 CLOSED

@mtchavez did not expect that there may be problems with timeout for this role. Which task are failed for you?

from rbenv.

Yeah it is a little odd because I can see the task finish on the server but it never moves on within ansible to the next task.

This install task is the one that hangs for me.

from rbenv.

So, I have some question %)
Have you already tried to install an asynchronous mode for this task? This solves your problem? You set the timeout for ssh connections?
Think like this: Play at the situation for verification. I see nothing wrong in an asynchronous installation options for this task.

I wanted to get feedback on the thought of async before jumping into making changes. I can make the task async to see if it does indeed solve the issue. I will update this issue when I have tried that and have more info.

I admit that this is possible for several reasons: connection timeout + low bandwidth + low power nodes. With regard to the last criterion - on the weak virtual machine this problem never arose....

With regard to the task of ruby installation - it is not determined by time and predict its normal time for different installations, I can not. Therefore, if an asynchronous installation mode will solve the problem - this is ok.

from rbenv.

Alright so my issue may be something else. Using async and polling allowed it to at least finish but the task ultimately fails. I unsure as to why though. I can watch the processes on the server installing ruby and when finished I can verify it is installed. Even though it installs the task fails.

My issue aside, I think it is still a good idea to use async and polling with some sane defaults to allow ruby to install.

FYI I had a similar issue where install Ruby tasks was timing out (it completes on server, but Ansible never continues with the play) the solution I used was to increase Ansible's SSH timeout setting (http://docs.ansible.com/intro_configuration.html#timeout) to more than default 10 minutes.

Closing, using a timeout setting fixes this.
