Description gaoshang 2019-12-02 11:30:40 UTC
Description of problem:
When setting kubeconfig with relative path, run wsu ansible playbook will fail in TASK [Check for bootstrap CSR].

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# oc get clusterversion
NAME      VERSION                             AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE   STATUS
version   4.3.0-0.nightly-2019-11-29-051144   True        False         6h57m   Cluster version is 4.3.0-0.nightly-2019-11-29-051144
# git show
commit 22f339a49465138862a490adc632fb11ce62cb20

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OCP 4.3 cluster with ovn-kubernetes

2. Set KUBECONFIG with relative path
# export KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig-72923

3. Create windows instance with wni
# ./wni azure create --kubeconfig kubeconfig-72923 --credentials ~/.azure/osServicePrincipal.json --image-id MicrosoftWindowsServer:WindowsServer:2019-Datacenter-with-Containers:latest --instance-type Standard_D2s_v3

4. Run wsu ansible playbook

Actual results:
Ansible run succeed.

Expected results:
Ansible run failed, oc command can not find kubeconfig file.

# ansible-playbook -i hosts ~/go/src/windows-machine-config-operator/tools/ansible/tasks/wsu/main.yaml -v

Additional info:
This issue is caused by ansible "delegate_to" module, seems like when using "delegate_to: localhost", working directory changed to ansible playbook folder, such as: /root/go/src/windows-machine-config-operator/tools/ansible/tasks/wsu, so all oc command will fail in the play book.

Comment 3 Aravindh Puthiyaparambil 2020-05-18 15:20:38 UTC
Update the docs stating you need to provide absolute path for the kubeconfig.
