The best way of talking about Ansible troubleshooting is to jump in a live demo to show you practically the macOS fork error and how to solve it!
error
- error
objc[22868]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
objc[22868]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.
fix current session
- fix - current session only
export "OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES"
fix all future sessions
- fix - for all future sessions
echo "OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES" >> .bash_profile
You could verify the environment of the terminal with the following command:
$ env
[...]
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES
