Deploy fails: Failed to checkout staging

Tried figuring this out on my own, but every time I try to deploy, I am getting this error:

TASK: [deploy | Update git remote URL] **************************************** 
skipping: [159.203.207.129]

TASK: [deploy | Clone project files] ****************************************** 
failed: [159.203.207.129] => {"failed": true}
msg: Failed to checkout staging

PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** 
           to retry, use: --limit @/Users/japhy/deploy.retry

159.203.207.129            : ok=4    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1   
localhost                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

Can anyone point me in the direction of the problem? Thanks!

Golden rule to debugging anything with Ansible:

  1. Run the command in verbose mode: ansible-playbook deploy.yml -vvvv -e "site=<domain> env=<environment>
  2. If necessary, SSH into your server and run the command that Ansible did above but manually (in the same directory).

Nice rule, but I don’t know it helped me. Here’s the output:

repo is blank. Did you remove that before pasting in here or was it really blank? If so, that’s the problem.

Thanks again for your help. I didn’t remove it, but in my wordpress_sites.yml file for staging (and production) I have this:

repo: git@bitbucket.org:storytelier/storystack.git

Am I missing something/ formatting it wrong?

Nope, looks fine to me. Strange it wasn’t in the output.

Regardless, back to step 2:

  1. SSH into your server as web user
  2. cd /srv/www/storytelier.com/shared/source
  3. git checkout staging or maybe git checkout origin/staging

Hopefully that gives you a clue as to what’s going on.

Another option is to modify this task: https://github.com/roots/trellis/blob/49816805f6980282b9b89db484e9c8d7255f0811/roles/deploy/tasks/update.yml#L24-L32

Put this:

- name: Clone project files
  git:
    repo: "{{ project_git_repo }}"
    dest: "{{ project_source_path }}"
    version: "{{ project_version }}"
    accept_hostkey: yes
  register: git_clone

debug:
  var: git_clone.stdout_lines
