Hello,

I tried to downlaod "Development tools" using "@Development Tools" as package name in the task

- name: install pkg

ansible.builtin.dnf:

name: "@Development Tools"

but when i run dnf group list it isn't shown in installed groups.

when i changed it to "@RPM Development Tools" it is now shown in installed groups.

so. i'm wondering is there difference and which syntax should i use?

Thanks

Hi khokha,

Do not see a problem you mentioned. Both version of syntax are working:

[root@workstation ~]# ansible localhost -m dnf -a "name='@Development tools' state=present"
localhost | CHANGED => {
"changed": true,
"msg": "",
"rc": 0,
"results": [
"Group development installed.",
"Installed: autoconf-2.69-27.el8.noarch",
"Installed: diffstat-1.61-7.el8.x86_64",

hi Shura,

when i run ansible all -m command -a "dnf group list" for the first time when i installed "@Development Tools" it wasn't listed in installed group but when i changed name to "@RPM Development Tools" and run ansible all command again i found RPM Development Tools in installed groups.

So, i'm wondering if they're not the same thing and why only RPM Development Tools is listed but not Development Tools?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

So, i should use "@Development Tools" in the playbook to install the group.
