Otter 3 - Error This operation is only valid when run against an SSH agent.

[philippe.camelio_3885]

Hi
I have some error when I tried to run some Otterv2 working scripts on Otter 3

Define a server (as SSH Agent Type) : VM111021
Create an Otter Module called AnsiblePlaybook

##AH:UseTextMode
module AnsiblePlayBook<$PLAYBOOK = $Tolower($ApplicationName), %EXTRAVARS = %(env:$ToLower($PipelineStageName)), $YML = main.yml, $RQUIRE = requirements.yml, $Branch = master, $Role = OUI, $GitGroupe = ansible/playbooks>
{
    Log-Debug PLAYBOOK = $PLAYBOOK;
    Log-Debug Role = $Role;
    set %EXTRAVARS = %MapAdd(%EXTRAVARS, v, 0);
    set $DOSSIER = /tmp/ANSIBLE/$PLAYBOOK;
    set $EXTRAFILE = $DOSSIER/extravars.json;
    Log-Debug ******** $ToJson(%EXTRAVARS);
    Ensure-Directory $DOSSIER
    (
        Exists: false
    );
    Log-Debug BEFORE;
    SHExec git config --global http.sslVerify false;
    Log-Debug AFTER;
 if false   
{
# Other stuff I would like to run
}
}

Create an Otter Plan called Create-NewVM

##AH:UseTextMode
##AH:Description Deploiement d'une VM à partird'un template
set $NbVM=1;
set $YML=create-linux.yml
set $octet2 = 100;
set $octet3 = 10;
set $template = GI-DCS-UBUNTU-20.04.1-20210121;
set $annotation = $Date - Creation de la VM  / Template : $template;
# Création d'un VM Linux
for server VM111021
{
    # Loop
    foreach $VM in @Range(1, $NbVM)
    {
        call AnsiblePlayBook
        (
            PLAYBOOK: vmware,
            EXTRAVARS: %(octet2:$octet2,octet3:$octet3,template:$template,annotation:$annotation'),
            YML: $YML,
            Role: NON
        );
    }
}

This script is working fine on Otter 2 but on Otter 3 ...

Hello,

I'm not able to reproduce this case at all

The message "This operation is only valid when run against an SSH agent." is logged if you try to run SHEXec against a non-linux server, and I can consistently reproduce that.

But when I switch to an SSH server, it works totally fine...

I wonder if there's something simpler at play, like the wrong $ServerName is in context or something? Nothing seems thtat way from the codes you shared, but.... can you try a very simple repro case, like an OtterScript that looks like....

for server myLinuxServer
{
    SHExec echo hello world;
}

Thanks,
Alana

@atripp said in Otter 3 - Error This operation is only valid when run against an SSH agent.:

I have made a test.
I also made a Configuration Plan (Ensure Directory which works).

for server VM111021
{
    SHExec echo hello world;
}

@atripp
Hi,
I have made a second test with a second Linux Server with the same result

[atripp]

FYI; we're going to investigate this some more, and will try to see why it's happeing here, but not for me

We've got a fix for this as OT-415. It will be included in Otter v3.0.6. If you'd like, I can publish a prerelease version for you. Thank you!

@gdivis
Oh thanks but I will wait for the release.I won't have so much time to test the week.
