DO410: Error Loading Git my_webservers_DEV Repository / Managing Ansible Project Materials Using Git

[andrewsurber]

Hi all,

I'm currently taking the online course DO410 for Ansible and Ansible Tower with the virtual labs included. 

Chapter 13 starts on managing project materials with Git.  During the lab setup, lab provision-git setup, I receive a failure at the step:

Creating my_webservers_DEV git repo.... FAIL

The next step, Adding content to git repo, then prompts for a password.  None of the provided passwords work.  It seems to be centered around the git account on the utility server and I could not locate that account on the utility.lab.example.com server.

UPDATE:

I manually created the git account on the utility server which corrects the password prompt however it is still failing on the download of the git repo.  Thanks!

Hello @andrewsurber,

Have a look at that thread. The same issue has been reported about EX447, for that very same git repository.

@ricardodacosta might be able to help or advise here.

Best !

Hi @littlebigfab,
Thank you for the response.  I had found that thread before which didn't really have a full solution within it, noting that 'watching a video' has resolved it, and some of the labs mentioned in that one did not apply to my machines.
However the thread pointed out the location of the git repo and the file has a .lock on it.  I also attempted to run the provision-git with sudo rights, but that didn't seem to work for me either.
I checked the permissions on the file and it's owned by awx:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 awx awx 0 Dec 6 12:56 _7__my_webservers_dev.lock

Seems there 's a dev in this file and the install is looking for my_webservers_DEV

Hi anyone reviewing this thread.

Per instructions I received from my Red Hat contact, I had deleted and reprovisioned my labs, re-ran all the setup lab scripts and it successfully installed the git repo for my_webservers_DEV.git. 

I'll mark this one SOLVED.
