'How to source a file from Ansible playbook?
I have added few env variables in the /etc/profile and I am able to do so succesfuly. Now I want to source /etc/profile from ansible script so that in the current shell the env variables are set. I can do this manually by :
source /etc/profile
. /etc/profile
I have tried below ways. The script is runnning withput giving any error but the env variables aren't set in the current shell . My intention is to avoid manual steps as much as possible .
# - name: Execute the command in remote shell; stdout goes to the specified file on the remote
# #sudo: no
# command: . /etc/profile
#ansible.builtin.shell: configuration/files/source.sh
# - name: source bashrc
# ansible.builtin.shell: "source /etc/profile"
- name: Get the value of the environment variable we just added
#sudo: no
shell: '/bin/bash -i -c "source /etc/profile"'
# become-user: {your_remote_user}
# args:
# executable: /bin/sh
# - name: Add another bin dir to system-wide $PATH.
# copy:
# src: env_vars.sh
# dest: /etc/profile
# #content: 'HADOOP_HOME=/opt/spark/hadoop-3.1.1'
I am using ansible-core 2.12 . Is there a way we can source /etc/profile from ansible itself ?
