deploy fails if controller does not have tunnel_interface

[Vladislav Belogrudov]

similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1642521

if one uses in ml2_conf.ini.j2

% if inventory_hostname in groups["network"] or inventory_hostname in groups["compute"] %}
local_ip = {{ tunnel_interface_address }}
{% endif %}

Ansible objects with

Host: 10.196.244.201, Task: neutron : Copying over ml2_conf.ini, Status:
failed, Message: {{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' +
tunnel_interface]['ipv4']['address'] }}: 'dict object' has no attribute
'ipv4'

But if I put

% if inventory_hostname in groups["network"] or inventory_hostname in groups["compute"] %}
local_ip = {{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' +
tunnel_interface]['ipv4']['address'] }}
{% endif %}

it works great, controllers don't get local_ip, but computes/network nodes do.

My ansible version is 2.3.1.0

looks like all.yml variable evaluation happens before switch statement in template

Is using different interfaces for nodes? If yes, is tunnel_interface variable commented in globals.yml and defined for each host in inventory file?

[Vladislav Belogrudov (vlad-belogrudov)]

I use separate interfaces for network/api/tunnel/neutron_external. One of my controllers only has network/api. tunnel_interface is only defined in all.yml, I don't redefine it.

I also have different name of interface for the controller:

# cat ansible/host_vars/10.196.244.201
api_interface: "ens4"

if that matters.

[Vladislav Belogrudov (vlad-belogrudov)]

one more way to reproduce it with ansible 2.1.1 is to set a dummy interface for controller of a choice, e.g. make tunnel_interface: "goesnowhere99"

[Vladislav Belogrudov (vlad-belogrudov)]

sorry, 2.3.1 in previous post

[Vladislav Belogrudov (vlad-belogrudov)]

ansible 2.4.0 does not deploy for the same reason -

fatal: [10.196.244.201]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_' + tunnel_interface]['ipv4']['address'] }}: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ipv4'"}

the host only belongs to [control]

Is this still a bug? If yes please update.
