ansible-role-java's Issues

fetching of openjdk-7-jdk failed on inital provisioning

Hi,

I'm using your role with Debian jessie 8.7.

Currently I get a 404 http-response when ansible is try to install apt package.

I would suggest to add an update_cache: yes
Belongs to pull-request #37

OpenJDK for Mac OS X

I suppose this role is for debian, redhat and fedora. May I know how many changes would it take to add the support for Mac OS X?

Time to start pushing Java 1.8?

Hi Jeff,

I'm opening this "issue" as a way to discuss this as it's not really an issue!

While OpenJDK 7 will continue to see updates from CentOS / Ubuntu, the Java world is moving on (slowly)
It's possible to use your role to install Java 8 (just specify the package); Maybe I can expand the documentation in your readme and provide an example?

Second, maybe at some point you might want to start defaulting to openjdk 8; What are your feelings on this subject?

I can create / test pull requests for both if you want.

PLAY RECAP **************************

specified java version is not set as default

I try to install jenkins with your ansible-role-jenkins on a vagrant box "ubuntu/bionic64".

Jenkins is complaining about a wrong java version, even if I install openjdk-8-jdk before:

      when: "ansible_os_family == 'Debian'"
      java_packages:
        - openjdk-8-jdk

Somehow it looks like the is a newer version already installed in the box image:

Role updates Java even when state=present

With state=present, the role shouldn't update Java with the latest version, yet it does.
It should update to latest when state=latest, but not state=present.

This is on Debian family, as on Red Hat, you need to specify specific Java version.

Thank you!

install java 8 on ubuntu/trusty64

I am using the ubuntu/trusty64 box with the following playbook (as described in the instructions)

What do I do wrong? How can I install java 8 on ubuntu/trusty64 with this role?

Fails on new Debian machine

You need to add update_cache=yes to your Debian install otherwise it will fail in new operative systems (that have not yet run apt-get update) which is the case for any vagrant and AWS instances.

AnsibleError exception while templating {{ java packages }}

I am trying to run this role in my playbook and no matter what I try I get the following error

FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check 'java_packages is not defined' failed. The error was: An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{{ java_packages }}'.

In my playbook, I've tried the following.

This shows that the jre has been installed. Yet when I try to find java on the GCE, it is not found.

Openjdk-7 cannot be installed

Hi,

The following code in your main task will override any variables set from group_vars.

- name: Include OS-specific variables.
  include_vars: "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"

For example:
group_vars/all contains:

java_packages: ["openjdk-7-jdk"]

Your role will still select openjdk-6-jdk. You can test this by adding the following code:

- debug: var=java_packages

Ubuntu 17.04

Role failed to execute on Ubuntu 17.04 because the Ubuntu-17.04.yml file does not exist in vars/.

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Include version-specific variables for Ubuntu.] *******
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {}, "changed": false, "failed": true, "message": "Unable to find 'Ubuntu-17.04.yml' in expected paths."}

I don't see why the Ubuntu variables have to have the version in the file name when the other distros don't.

Installing JDK needs root permissions

Hi. It's entirely possible that I'm using your role incorrectly, but it doesn't seem to want to install openjdk-7-jdk on Ubuntu trusty:

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Ensure Java is installed.] ****************************

It seems to be missing a become: yes in tasks/setup-Debian.yml but that seems too obvious. Am I missing something?

Role needs ability to check and ensure a specific version of JDK is installed

Because when things like this happen, users of this role are not able to fix it with a simple role variable. The problem is that this role only installs standard .deb/rpm packages, and when those packages have problems, something outside this role must be used to correct it by installing an older/different package.

Oracle JDK not supported

I was trying to provision Oracle JDK instead of Open JDK with this role. But this gives me an error.

play.yml:

tasks:
    - name: Installing repo for Java 8 in Ubuntu
      become: true
      apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java'

roles:
  - { role: geerlingguy.java  }

group_vars.yml

java_packages:
  - oracle-java8-installer
  - ca-certificates
  - oracle-java8-set-default

But this will fail with an error because the license this package presents, cannot be accepted in a non-interactive shell. In order to accomplish this, you need to add this extra task in the role:

main.yml

- name: Accept Java 8 License
  become: yes
  debconf: name='oracle-java8-installer' question='shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1' value='true' vtype='select'

set java path

The default java is set to JRE instead of the JDK. What about make it possible to configure the java path?

Role breaks when skipping it

I did this in my playbook:

- role: williamyeh.oracle-java
  java_version: 8
  java_subversion: 112
  java_set_javahome: true
  when: use_oracle_java
  tags: [ java ]

- role: geerlingguy.java
  when: not use_oracle_java
  tags: [ java ]

Result:

skipping: [qa-machine]

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Ensure Java is installed.] ****************************
fatal: [qa-machine]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'java_packages' is undefined"}

I guess the problem is that skipping the role leads to an error that crashes the role... :)

Support adding custom (CA-)certificates to Java keystore

We are currently working with this role, but are working with SSL-secured services with an untrusted CA-signed certificate.

I'm wondering if you are interested in dynamically adding new CA-certificates to the Java keystore by setting a variable (list) or so.

If you are, I would send you a pull request.

Failed to fetch - 400 Bad Request

Hey,

I recently started randomly getting errors from the apt tasks in some different roles (java, mysql, php). Here is an example output from the task "Ensure Java is installed": http://pastebin.com/Sxd0Ye5G

When I say randomly I mean that if try provisioning multiple times, the failing task is randomly some of the apt tasks in the different roles. And then eventually, after many tries, they all pass.

If I ssh into the vagrant machine and try manually running the failed command (in this case /usr/bin/apt-get -y -o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef\" -o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold\" install 'openjdk-8-jdk') it runs successfully.

I don't actually think that this is an issue with your repos per se, but I wanted to ask if you might have encountered anything similar? I had trouble finding any solutions from Google.

Ubuntu vs ubuntu

I am using this role under Ubuntu 16.04.
When my playbook is running using 2 times your playbook as dependency. The first run every time is successful (ansible_distribution = "Ubuntu"), but the second time (on different node, but with exactly same parameters) will be broken (ansible_distribution = "ubuntu"). I don't find any reason how it's happen so I would like to suggest to fix the issue in the code. I will open PR soon, because the solution is very simple.

Possible solution: use "ansible_distribution| title" instead of "ansible_distribution" when Ubuntu is the host.

I will open PR with the solution..

Intermittent failure on Google Compute instance

Hi there,

I am seeing an intermittent issue on this role when installing on Debian Jessie 8 on a Google Compute instance. The error is:

I am using openjdk-8-jdk but it fails intermittently using the default as well.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

RHEL 8 Support

What needs to be done for RHEL 8 support?

I tried running this role on a (basically) fresh RHEL 8 instance on AWS; I copied vars/RedHat-7.yml to vars/RedHat-8.yml and ran into the following error (formatted with some extra newlines to be more readable):

Not sure if this is easy to fix (I was unable to fix it in 5 minutes), or if there are further problems down the line...

No JDK only JRE

Hi, I have tried this one Centos 7. This installs only JRE, the lib folder which includes "tools.jar" (for eg) is missing. Only after installing java_1.8_-devel* it brings in the other things. Thanks !

Java package names should be in default not vars

Why are the java package names defined in vars rather than

We use group_vars to setup variables for most of our playbooks, such as here the default java version, however since the package name is defined in the role vars through include_vars the only way to change the default java is through a couple layers of redirection (setting it in all.yml then using that value in the role import. This if fragile if someone forgets to add the var to the role include.

Is there a reason the vars are defined where they are rather than as defaults which would be easier to override with inventory vars?

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Ensure Java is installed.] ****************************
fatal: [drupalvm]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'java_packages' is undefined"}

Just found after updating to 2.2. Latest Ansible switches the 2.x behavior from defaulting to dynamic to defaulting to static includes (to better match 1.x behavior... though this breaks assumptions for any role that was upgraded for 2.x, grr.), so need to fix this by setting static: no in a few places.

Error when specifying java_home with Ansible 2.2.1.0

I'm bringing the discussion from pull request #27 over to an open issue so that we can track it against the upstream issue ansible/ansible#20392.

In a nutshell, the error is this. If you set the java_home variable to anything other than empty string, you will get an error like the following with Ansible 2.2.1.0 and geerlingguy.java 1.7.2

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Set JAVA_HOME if configured.] ************************* fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "The conditional check 'java_home' failed. The error was: unexpected '/'\n line 1\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/vagrant/roles/geerlingguy.java/tasks/main.yml': line 33, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n# Environment setup.\n- name: Set JAVA_HOME if configured.\n ^ here\n"}

You can work around this by changing https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-java/blob/master/tasks/main.yml#L38 to when: java_home | default('') != ''

The workaround shouldn't have any side effects, so I can make a pull request if we want to just change that and not wait for the upstream fix.

Ubuntu vagrant box support

Hi, as I understand this role will only work for boxes versioned previous to ubuntu1604, is that right? If so, are other similar boxes recommended?

Should be able to run the script as a non-root user

When running the script as a non-root user, you get the following error:

TASK [geerlingguy.java : Ensure Java is installed.] ****************************

failed: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)\nE: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root

tasks requiring escalated privileges should used becomes.

(I'll drop you a pull request soonish .. just putting this here as a placeholder for now)

Package Not Found on RHEL 7

Getting the flowing when I try to use the role to install Java

"results": [
    "No package matching 'java-1.8.0-openjdk' found available, installed or updated"
],
"item": "java-1.8.0-openjdk",
"rc": 126,

This is on RHEL 7 and when I do a yum list on that server for the package I can see this:

java-1.8.0-openjdk.i686 1:1.8.0.171-8.b10.el7_5 rhel-7-server-rpms
java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.8.0.171-8.b10.el7_5 rhel-7-server-rpms

My playbook looks like this:

---
- hosts: jenkins
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes
  roles:
    - role: geerlingguy.java
      when: "ansible_os_family == 'RedHat'"
      java_packages:
        - java-1.8.0-openjdk

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

update_cache=yes

https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-java/blob/master/tasks/main.yml

Otherwise, for instance, vanilla ubuntu images crash on apt.

Environment Variables

This playbook should add JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME variables to environment and append JAVA_HOME to PATH.

Probably configurable thru variables.

Can you include Java 8 from backport so we can use Solr 6?

Add OracleLinux distribution

Is it possible to add OracleLinux ?

If I understand well, We just have to add OracleLinux as ansible_distribution in main tasks :

ansible-role-java/tasks/main.yml

Lines 6 to 10 in 14c5227

	- name: Include version-specific variables for CentOS/RHEL.
	include_vars: "RedHat-{{ ansible_distribution_version.split('.')[0] }}.yml"
	when: ansible_distribution == 'CentOS' or
	ansible_distribution == 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux' or
	ansible_distribution == 'RedHat'

Note: According to Wikipedia :
"Oracle Linux uses a version-naming convention identical to that of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (e.g. the first version, Oracle Linux 4.5, is based on RHEL 4.5). "

I can create a PR if needed.

Thank you.

Optional java -version check

Could you make the java -version check optional? It returns rc java cannot found while logging in as root or normal user returns the java version.

Second time role run with different parameters - skipping

I am launch an instance and installing java 7. Due to constrains of a following role, need to upgrade to java 8. Running the role again skipps everything and doesn't upgrade.

Here is the code snippet:

• name: Ensure java 8 is installed for Selenium plugin version 3.1.0 or up
  include_role:
  name: geerlingguy.java
  vars:
  java_packages: 'openjdk-8-jdk'
  when:
  • "selenium.plugins[0].version | version_compare('3.1.0', '>=')"
  • "java_packages == 'openjdk-7-jdk'"

tag 1.1.0 hasn't been pushed to galaxy

https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/439 only shows up to 1.0.4
Thank you

Conditional check for ansible_distribution fails

I'm getting an error about the OS checking in main.yml:

}

Perhaps the way I'm using this for an Ubuntu 16.04.03 server is incorrect?
In my site.yml:

  roles:
    - role: geerlingguy.java
      java_packages:
        - openjdk-8-jdk

Make role work out of the box with Ubuntu 16.04

16.04 Xenial only has JDK 8 or 9 available; 12.04 and 14.04 only have JDK 6 or 7. Therefore I need to split the vars for Ubuntu specifically...
