Reopen Issue

Trying to run tests on Fedora Cloud base qcow2 image will fail because it does not have python2.

As workaround add --extra-vars ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3 to the command line

Note: Docker inventory does not have this problem as it forces python2 to be installed, this could also be an issue for releases that do not ship python2 any more.

--tags=classic means : test-runner == test-environment

standard-test-roles.spec has next entry:

Requires: ansible

If Ansible cannot invoke its own modules that it is Ansible bug.

Could you please without STR on this host run ping module ?

~ ansible -i localhost, all -m ping
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

I think this is Ansible / Python bug.

Please also run:

alternatives --config python
alternatives --list | grep -i python

The issue you filled is against rawhide. Do you know why they do not set alternative by default to python3? We need some official statement about Python alternatives. For me it seems like a Rawhide issue. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Alternatives_system

This is due the new Fedora guildelines for python.

There is a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1567995 let's wait for answer.

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/inventory/implicit_localhost.html?highlight=implicit%20localhost#implicit-localhost

It seems that our approach with explicit localhost forces as to define ansible_python_interpreter.

For qcow2 inventory script code is fixed at : #178

For container inventory script code is fixed at #179
