Newbie in Need of assistance - The conditional check 'use_local_repository|bool' failed

[pr2627]

Running the EJBCA deployCeNode.yml on a localhost and I am getting the following error:

TASK [ansible-ejbca-prep : Upload and unpack Apache ant from Ansible controller] **********************************************************************fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =>
msg: |-
The conditional check 'use_local_repository|bool' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (use_local_repository|bool): 'use_local_repository' is undefined

The error appears to be in '/root/primekey/ansible_ejbca_signsrv/roles/ansible-ejbca-prep/tasks/install.yml': line 44, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


    - name: Upload and unpack Apache ant from Ansible controller
     ^ here

The offending section appears to be the following:

• name: Ant staging
  block:

  • name: Upload and unpack Apache ant from Ansible controller
    unarchive:
    src: "{{ apache_ant_remote_dir }}"
    dest: "{{ ejbca_root_dir }}"
    register: unpacked_local_ant
    when:
    • use_local_repository|bool

  Any assistance in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

  Thanks

In the group_vars/ceServers.yml on line:28 there is a default variable use_local_repository: false

The ceServers variable file is included when you set your play limit to include ceServers. Can you confirm the line still exists, is not commented out, and the command you executed to run the play looks similar to ansible-playbook -i inventory -l ceServers,ce01 deployCeNode.yml
