SSH private key not copying correctly

[gibbster]

Hello,

I'm running across this problem which I can't seem to figure out. Any pointers would be appreciated!

While trying to set up SSH, I'm getting the following error:

    amazon-ebs: TASK: [gocd | SSH public key] *************************************************
    amazon-ebs: changed: [127.0.0.1]
    amazon-ebs:
    amazon-ebs: TASK: [gocd | SSH private key] ************************************************
    amazon-ebs: fatal: [127.0.0.1] => input file not found at /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles/gocd/files/build_id_rsa, or /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/build_id_rsa,

What's odd is that 1: the private key is copied correctly, and 2: the public and private key are both present in the source directory:

ls -l /tmp/packer-provisioner-ansible-local/roles/gocd/files/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1675 Feb  6 01:58 build_id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu  398 Feb  6 01:58 build_id_rsa.pub

For reference, here is the configuration I'm using:

  vars:
    GOCD_SCM_GIT: true,
    GOCD_CONFIGURE_SSH: true,
    GOCD_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY: build_id_rsa,
    GOCD_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY: build_id_rsa.pub

I'm confused why it works for the public key but not the private key. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
David

Hi @gibbster - did you get this sorted out? I'm not able to duplicate it.

Would it be possible to run Ansible in verbose and share the log snippet around the copying of the key?

BTW: chmod 600 that private key! ;)
