Ruby Friends, I'm having some trouble with Net::SSH on a machine connecting to a local virtual machine, created through veewee. When veewee attempts to connect to the VM it just created, it fails with an authentication error. I've reduced it to Net::SSH as the issue. I've spun up a virtual machine through veewee on two machines (Ruby 2.0.0 on bo…

I'm getting an error message when trying to use a variable with async and poll options on a task. It's no problem to use variables elsewhere, but for poll and async, it's a problem. Example below with just poll. Thoughts?

	hosts: local
	gather_facts: True
	vars_files:
	- group_vars/all
	vars:

Here's some fun with monkey patching a class to see an XMLRPC response. I can't directly get at seeing what I'm going to send to an XMLRPC service with the XMLRPC::Client object itself. If I try to reach in and call 'create().methodCall', I'm told it's private. So, why not create a method where I can make a call and see what's going to happen, w…

Related to Michael's suggestions: (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3658#issuecomment-21535516), I've updated my playbook.yml to match suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing the expected results. I expect to see bippy fail. fake-inventory is just localhost

when_unset does not appear to behave as documented or expected. This change appears to have been introduced in Ansible devel 62b39d3d. I expect $bippy to fai. I don't expect $foo and $bar to fail. Unseen is 'fake-inventory' that is just "localhost".

Need help with testing definedness using 'when_unset' The key question. Why does when_unset not catch a variable as defined if it begins with a '$'?
