install compass with ansible

I'm trying to use Ansible to install compass, which is needed for one of our services, on an EC2 server. Usually we install it manually using the following commands - 

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
echo "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bashrc
rvm install 2.1.2
rvm use 2.1.2 --default
gem install compass

And then run compass compile successfully. Now when I try to run these commands with an Ansible playbook (using the shell module) the compass command is not found by the system.

I have tried using RVM official Ansible role (https://github.com/rvm/rvm1-ansible), and all I got is more errors.

I've tried installing rubydev and rubygems-integration using apt and then installing the gem using the gem module. This does recognise the compass command but when I try to compile or even show the compass version it returns errors. Here is the error for running compass -v, for example:

Errno::ENOENT on line ["25"] of /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/compass/version.rb: No such file or directory - /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/compass/../../VERSION.yml
Run with --trace to see the full backtrace

This is the playbook that managed to install compass, but left me with the errors I've mentioned:

---
- hosts: "{{ host_name }}"
  become: yes
  become_method : sudo
  tasks:
    - name: install ruby-dev
      apt: 
        name: ruby-dev
    - name: install rubygems
      apt: 
        name: rubygems-integration
    - name: install ruby compass
      apt: 
        name: ruby-compass
  ...

Would love some help.

Solution

  • This is the playbook that eventually worked for me for installing compass -

    ---
- hosts: "{{ host_name }}"
  become: yes
  become_user : deploy3
  tasks:
    #- name: get gpg
    #  shell: "gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3"
    - name: install rvm
      shell: "curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable"
    - name: install rvm 2.1.2
      shell: "/home/deploy2/.rvm/bin/rvm install 2.1.2"
    - name: use rvm 2.1.2 by default and install compass
      shell: "bash -lc \"/home/deploy2/.rvm/bin/rvm use 2.1.2 --default && /home/deploy3/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/bin/gem install compass\""
