Introduction Today we're going to talk about Ansible troubleshooting, specifically about the "role not found" error. I'm Luca Berton and welcome to today's episode of Ansible Pilot. Playbook The best way of talking about Ansible troubleshooting is to jump in a live Playbook to show you practically the `role not found errror` and how to solve it! error code - role.yml ```yaml --- - name: role Playbook hosts: all become: true roles: - role: lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell detector_path: "/var" ``` error execution ```bash $ ansible-playbook -i virtualmachines/demo/inventory troubleshooting/role/role.yml ERROR! the role 'lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell' was not found in /Users/lberton/prj/github/ansible-pilot/troubleshooting/role/roles:/Users/lberton/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/Users/lberton/prj/github/ansible-pilot/troubleshooting/role The error appears to be in '/Users/lberton/prj/github/ansible-pilot/troubleshooting/role/role.yml': line 6, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: roles: - role: lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell ^ here ansible-pilot $ ls -al ~/.ansible/roles total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 lberton staff 64 Jan 7 08:19 . drwxr-xr-x 8 lberton staff 256 Jan 7 08:19 .. ansible-pilot $ ``` fix code - requirements.yml ```yaml --- roles: - name: lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell ``` fix execution ```bash $ ansible-galaxy install -r troubleshooting/role/requirements.yml Starting galaxy role install process - downloading role 'ansible_role_log4shell', owned by lucab85 - downloading role from https://github.com/lucab85/ansible-role-log4shell/archive/v0.6.1.tar.gz - extracting lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell to /Users/lberton/.ansible/roles/lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell - lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell (v0.6.1) was installed successfully ansible-pilot $ ls -al ~/.ansible/roles total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 . drwxr-xr-x 8 lberton staff 256 Jan 7 08:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 12 lberton staff 384 Jan 7 08:24 lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell ansible-pilot $ ls -al ~/.ansible/roles/lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell total 32 drwxr-xr-x 12 lberton staff 384 Jan 7 08:24 . drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 lberton staff 96 Jan 6 11:22 .ansible-lint drwxr-xr-x 5 lberton staff 160 Jan 7 08:24 .github -rw-rw-r-- 1 lberton staff 121 Jan 6 11:22 .yamllint -rw-rw-r-- 1 lberton staff 1068 Jan 6 11:22 LICENSE -rw-rw-r-- 1 lberton staff 3739 Jan 6 11:22 README.md drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 defaults drwxr-xr-x 4 lberton staff 128 Jan 7 08:24 meta drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 molecule drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 tasks drwxr-xr-x 3 lberton staff 96 Jan 7 08:24 vars ansible-pilot $ ls -al ~/.ansible/roles/lucab85.ansible_role_log4shell/* -rw-rw-r-- 1 lberton
