Running the role on a RH7.4 (AWS instance) gives:

TASK [geerlingguy.ruby : Install ruby and rubygems.] *************************************************************************************************
skipping: [34.242.36.252] => (item=[]) 

TASK [geerlingguy.ruby : Update apt cache.] **********************************************************************************************************
skipping: [34.242.36.252]

TASK [geerlingguy.ruby : Set rubygems package name for Ubuntu 14.04.] ********************************************************************************

PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************************************************
34.242.36.252              : ok=18   changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=1

changing this task allows the role to complete:

# geerlingguy.ruby/tasks/install-from-source.yml

- name: Install packages required to build ruby (RedHat).
  yum: "name={{ item }} state=present"
  with_items:
    - zlib-devel
    - openssl-devel
#    - openssl-static
  when: ansible_os_family == 'RedHat'

I'm making an assumption that the -devel rpm is what ruby needs, but I'm not 100% sure that's the only (or a good) fix for this. I think openssl-static works for RH6, but it was dropped in RH7.

cheers,

Strange—the test running on a CentOS 7.4 (latest) build seems to be completing successfully: https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-ruby (last test was 15 hours ago).

I wonder if the image you're using, or the repos, might have an issue? I see the openssl-static package in the base CentOS 7 repos: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/

yeah, it ran through on my CentOS too. but not RH, there's old talk on the RH support channel of dropping openssl-static after RH6, 'because it doesn't work'. I can't find an openssl-static rpm for RH7, but it does exist for Centos7.

I currently only have access to an AWS RHEL7 instance. Any way to check another RHEL source for it? If openssl-static does exist somewhere (and it's an AWS problem) then I can close this.
