My objective is to check out a repository and all submodules within it using multiple deploy keys.
The git module recursive option does not work, it does not seem to support multiple key_files.
- name: Checkout foo repository
git:
repo: "[email protected]:org/foo.git"
dest: /foo-path
accept_hostkey: yes
force: yes
key_file: /home/test/.ssh/deploy_keys/foo
version: "{{ branch }}"
recursive: yes
Results in an error:
ERROR: Repository not found.\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists
Since i'm just passing one key_file to it, the sub repositories have different ones.
What seems to be my only current option is to skip the recursive option and for each repo/sub-module add a task to check it separately, an example would be below, using the above "foo" repository.
- name: Checkout bar within foo
git:
repo: "[email protected]:org/bar.git"
dest: /foo-path/bar-path
accept_hostkey: yes
force: yes
key_file: /home/test/.ssh/deploy_keys/bar
version: "{{ commit }}"
recursive: no
become: no
However, this method doesn't prevent alterations to the 'bar' submodule, causing it to consistently show as having tracked changes.
Could someone clarify if I'm approaching this incorrectly, or if there's a viable solution available?
