Error when deploying: "PlaybookCLI' object has no attribute 'options'"

[MarcelDillen]

Hey all,

I’m new to Trellis and I’m trying to employ to Kinsta for the first time using Trellis.

I’ve followed all the steps in this post: https://kinsta.com/blog/bedrock-trellis/ but when I try to run ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e env=staging -e site=example.com --limit=kinsta_staging from my local environment I get the following error: “ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: ‘PlaybookCLI’ object has no attribute ‘options’”

The traceback I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook", line 110, in <module>
    exit_code = cli.run()
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.8.0/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ansible/cli/playbook.py", line 123, in run
    results = pbex.run()
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.8.0/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ansible/executor/playbook_executor.py", line 100, in run

    self._options = cli.options if cli else None
AttributeError: 'PlaybookCLI' object has no attribute 'options'

Downgrade ansible to < 2.8

[adsoink]

The downgrade isn’t effective, and actually compromises other projects that lean on Ansible. I’ve received the same error with a clean install of Python 3.7, Ansible 2.7, etc…

What’s another workaround?
