I'm trying to use the Ansible replace module to change some text in a file on a Windows Server 2019 Standard target. I'm using Ansible 2.8.3 running on Python 2.7
- name: REPLACE | Replace baseline.local with FQDN in InternetSettings.xml
replace:
path: '/path/to/settings.xml'
regexp: 'baseline\.local'
replace: '{{ FQDN }}'
I don't think the issue is the path, although one of the directories on the path to the file has brackets '{}' in its name. Could that be it?
I've tried to do the same thing with win_lineinfile, and it didn't throw an error with the same path, but it'd be difficult in this case to replicate the functionality of replace, which is really what I need.
EDIT 2: It works when I copy the file over to my local machine and delegate to 127.0.0.1. I'm running ansible from a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installation. It also works when I copy the file to a remote linux system and run replace there, so it seems to be a Windows problem.?
EDIT: The stack trace of the error I'm getting:

My teammates and I suspect that this issue is the result of attempting to use an ansible module not built for windows on a windows target - more particularly, a target that doesn't have python installed. We suspect that some part of the compiling of python on the ansible controller or subsequent execution of the python binary on the windows target is what's really causing the problem here. We've decided on the workaround of just using win_shell with powershell's 'replace' to do what we need to do.
Try changing your regexp string to double quotes:
regexp: "baseline.local"

This code is an attempt to replace a service that already works in production, written in java, with one written in rust.
This service will serve as a sidecar proxy for a redis cluster, exposing an api rest. It needs to maintain compatibility with the current api.
The Route is:
"/api/keys/{path:*}"
In path we can put de name of the key for redis, and can contain any format below:
/api/keys/users/41728391
/api/keys/users/1000/followers
/api/keys/users/{1234}/data
this is my attempt
HttpServer::new(move || App::new()
.data(redis_config)
.service(
web::resource("/set/{path:*}").route(web::put().to(set_key))
) ).bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))?
.run()
.await
I tried like this too:
#[get("/set/{path:*}")]...
But in two cases i get this error:
.service(web::resource("/set/{path:*}").route(web::put().to(path_regex)))
| ^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `Factory<_, _, _>` is not implemented for `path_regex`

Can someone help me decode this error? I have no idea where to even look. Also is there a way for ansible to give me readable error messages?
According to the fine manual, use of aws_s3_bucket_facts requires python with both the boto and boto3 modules available to it.
What appears to be happening to you is that the windows machine is trying to execute that .py file as if it were PowerShell, and (of course) those two syntaxes are wholly incompatible.
Do you have ansible_python_interpreter set to a working binary? It is possible that switching gather_facts: to yes will surface any misconfiguration earlier, although I can't swear to it since I don't know if the winrm connection pre-empts fact gathering using just PowerShell, and wouldn't notice a bogus ansible_python_interpreter value.
While this isn't exactly what you asked, it's also quite a common behavior to use delegate_to: localhost and/or connection: local for those AWS-y tasks, since there is little to no value in having those tasks run on the target machine, given that the credentials are already present in the playbook (that is: it doesn't acquire credentials from anything on the target machine). That presumes, naturally, that you have a local python which has boto and boto3 installed in them, but that's presumably far more likely than convincing a random windows machine to work correctly.
How can I make file association in Qt installer framework(1.5.0) on Windows? I want to do this:
For example, when I double click myFile.x then my qt desktop application(Windows) will launch and open this file.
I want to correct this in installscript.qs :
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "#TargetDir#/A.exe", "#StartMenuDir#/A.lnk");
component.addOperation("RegisterFileType",
"fl",
"#TargetDir#\\A.exe" + "'%1'",
"myFiles",
"text/plain",
"#TargetDir#/A_icon.ico",
"ProgId=A.fl");
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "#TargetDir#/uninstall.exe", "#StartMenuDir#/Uninstall.lnk");
When I write this string, it gives parse error.
Output is :
Caught exception: Exception while loading component script: 'D:/Workspace/A/A_installer/A/packages/com.ge.mss/meta/installscript.qs
SyntaxError: Parse error
Backtrace:
()#D:/Workspace/A/A_installer/A/packages/com.ge.mss/meta/installscript.qs:102'
If you are using windows just follow this:
component.addOperation("RegisterFileType",
"bob",
"#TargetDir#\\BobiSoft.exe \" %1\"",
"BobiSoft Files",
"application/x-binary",
"#TargetDir#/bobi_file_icon.ico",
"ProgId=BobiSoft.bob");
I also had this problem, the trick was to replace the ' %1' as many examples say, with \" %1\".

I believe that the problem is actually on Bash side (or your command line interpret). Your query contains for example following fragment u.enrolled='Y'. Please notice that you're escaping character constants with single quotes. You seem to be putting entire query into additional single quotes: --query 'YOUR QUERY'. Which results in something like --query '...u.enrolled='Y'...'. However such string is stripped by bash to '...u.enrolled=Y...'. You can verify that by using "echo" to see what exactly will bash do with your string before it will be passed to Sqoop.
jarcec#jarcec-thinkpad ~ % echo '...u.enrolled='Y'...'
...u.enrolled=Y..
.
I would recommend to either escape all single quotes (\') inside your query or choose double quotes for entire query. Please note that the later option will require escaping $ characters with backslash (\$).

Check your regex syntax. In particular, see if you are missing an opening parenthesis before a ? towards the beginning of the pattern, as in
r'^?P<poll_id>\d+)/$'
# ^ note the missing parenthesis
The above should read
r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$'
instead.
(An explanation: "nothing to repeat" is a regex error which arises due to an ? regex operator occurring where it is not preceded by something which it can sensibly attach to. The ? in (?P<...>...) is treated specially, but if you forget the opening parenthesis, the regex engine will treat ? in the regular way, which makes no sense right after ^.)
