Unable to download golang repository by using ansible

I am trying to download a golang package from github. This is how my playbook looks like

- name: Fetch latest gogs repository
      shell: "go get -u github.com/gogits/gogs"
      become: true
      become_user: git

It is throwing me following error:

{
    "changed": true, 
    "cmd": "go get -u github.com/gogits/gogs", 
    "delta": "0:00:00.002695", 
    "end": "2017-08-22 10:50:02.984669", 
    "failed": true, 
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "_raw_params": "go get -u github.com/gogits/gogs", 
            "_uses_shell": true, 
            "chdir": null, 
            "creates": null, 
            "executable": null, 
            "removes": null, 
            "warn": true
        }
    }, 
    "rc": 127, 
    "start": "2017-08-22 10:50:02.981974", 
    "stderr": "/bin/sh: go: command not found", 
    "stderr_lines": [
        "/bin/sh: go: command not found"
    ], 
    "stdout": "", 
    "stdout_lines": []
}

When I am trying this

- name: Fetch latest gogs repository
      shell: "go get -u {{ gogs_repo }}"
      environment:
        - PATH: $PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:/usr/bin
        - GOPATH: "{{gogs_home}}/{{ gogs_project_directory }}/src"
        - GOBIN:  "{{gogs_home}}/{{ gogs_project_directory }}/bin"
      become: true
      become_user: git

I got this error

fatal: [atul-ec2]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false, 
    "failed": true, 
    "module_stderr": "Shared connection to ec2-13-126-203-235.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com closed.\r\n", 
    "module_stdout": "Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_gntmXa/ansible_module_command.py\", line 220, in <module>\r\n    main()\r\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_gntmXa/ansible_module_command.py\", line 163, in main\r\n    os.chdir(chdir)\r\nOSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/ec2-user/goprojects/src/src/github.com/gogits/gogs'\r\n", 
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", 
    "rc": 1
}

Here my variables are

---
  go_version: go1.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
  go_url: https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/{{ go_version }}
  go_hash: sha256:702ad90f705365227e902b42d91dd1a40e48ca7f67a2f4b2fd052aaa4295cd95
  go_project_dir: goprojects
  go_home: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
  gogs_home: "/home/git"
  gogs_project_directory: "git.varadev.com"
  gogs_repo: github.com/gogits/gogs

But when i am using following command on my server

which go

I got this

/usr/local/go/bin/go

and when I try manually go get -u github.com/gogits/gogs, it is working fine.

Hope this can help you as a start point:

<!-- language: yaml -->

---
- hosts: all
  connection: local 

  tasks:
  - name: check go version
    command: go version
    register: result
    changed_when: no
    ignore_errors: true

  - set_fact:
      go_path: "{{ lookup('env', 'GOPATH') | default(ansible_env.HOME+'/go', true) }}"
    when: not result|failed

  - name: go get gogs
    shell: go get -u github.com/gogits/gogs
    environment:
      GOPATH: "{{ go_path }}"
    register: gogs
    when: not result|failed

  - debug: var=gogs

Try to run this on your remote server by typing:

ansible-playbook gogs.yml -i localhost,

If that works then just later try remotely.

Normally you don't want to do this since you want to execute this remotely over ssh, but since you had tried so far and are getting some errors, probably by trying locally connection: local could help to debug more in details this issue.

I know this post is too old, but maybe this may help someone.

Ths issue /bin/sh: go: command not found it is because you are missing some configuration when Ansible runs, and probably you need to source the bash profile like this:

- name: Install gogs
  shell: "source ~/.bash_profile && github.com/gogits/gogs"
  args:
    chdir: /home/{{ owner }}
  become_user: '{{ owner }}'

That worked for me.
