running rust role as a non-root user fails about ansible-role-rust

[jkryl]

it works but I had to rewrite the condition as follows:

  when:
    - ansible_os_family == "Debian"
    - '"curl" not in rust_which_curl.stdout or "gcc" not in rust_which_gcc.stdout'

The form with parenthesis and "and" did not work for me. Thanks!

I'll organise the change tonight for you, thanks for the feedback!

@jkryl,

It's an interesting idea - I'll see if the role tests well without the task and get back to you.

edit: It's not completely useless - if curl is not installed then the role will fail. We could mark gcc and curl as requirements for the role. I could simply move those tasks for testing.

@jkryl,

Could you please try the branch prevent-package-install?

It has extra logic to not include the package files when curl and gcc are already found, and it should accommodate what you're doing.

Let me know how it goes and I'll organise a PR.

The tests are beginning to pass so this should be merged tonight - they run for a while and there would be three: push, PR and merge. I'll update this one after it's merged.

Would you like a point release for this one, or is there no urgency it to be included in a tag?

[jkryl]

no rush, it can wait. Thanks for all the work!
