Issues with fresh Trellis project

trellis

trellis new issues.com
cd issues.com
trellis up

Gives me the following error:

Since that failed, I did a cd trellis and vagrant reload --provision as mentioned in the docs. That gave the following error:

I didn’t touch any of the configuration files, and I’ve done this several times in the past without issue. Any idea what’s going on here?

MacOS Catalina 10.15.6
vagrant 2.2.9
virtualbox 6.1.12
trellis-cli 0.9.0
ansible (in virtualenv) 2.8.13
python (in virtualenv) 3.8.3
trellis 1.4.0
bedrock 1.13.5

I started having issues July 22nd. I saw that ansible released a new version on the 21st, but that’s not the version that trellis-cli is pulling.

:thinking: someone else had this same error and solved it with different Ansible/python versions: Issues installing Ansible on Mac OS

I also found https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64745 though it implied it was an issue with 2.9 and fixed in 2.9.1 (you were using 2.8.13)

The easiest thing I can think to try is forcing a newer version of Ansible. You can edit trellis/requirements.txt to look like this:

ansible>=2.9.1,<3.0
passlib

And run trellis exec pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade. Running trellis exec ansible --version should show 2.9.1 at least I hope. Then try trellis up again please.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate you getting back to me on this!

I read your message and did some digging. I updated the requirments.txt file and made sure it was installing 2.9.11. Running trellis exec ansible --version did print out 2.9.11. But it still wasn’t working.

I noticed that the vagrant provision error said I was running ansible 2.7.18. For some reason, it was falling back to the version that was installed globally on my computer (that I didn’t even know about). Not when I checked the version, but when the scripts actually ran.

Lo an behold, updating to 2.9.11 globally fixed the issue. Thanks for your help!
