Error using 'pause' module in dns_records.yml task file

[jeanmonet]

Hi - I just ran into the following error:

ERROR! The 'pause' module bypasses the host loop, which is currently not supported in the free strategy and would instead execute for every host in the inventory list.

The error appears to be in '.../roles/FoxyRoles.ansible-dkim/tasks/dns_records.yml': line 9, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: display DKIM public key DNS record
  ^ here

Code:

ansible-dkim/tasks/dns_records.yml

Lines 9 to 16 in 108f8c6

	- name: display DKIM public key DNS record
	pause:
	seconds: '{{ dkim_dns_record_pause }}'
	prompt: |
	################################################################################################
	DNS record to add for zone {{ dkim_domain }}:
	{{ dkim_dns_record.content | string | b64decode }}
	################################################################################################

Host running Ansible:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• Ansible 20.10.4
• Python 3.8.6

After a quick search, I've found others having similar problems:

• The 'pause' module bypasses the host loop, which is currently not supported in the free strategy and would instead execute for every host in the inventory list. sensu/sensu-ansible#227

Any ideas?

Edit: small improvement suggestion on the following line:

ansible-dkim/tasks/dns_records.yml

Line 6 in 108f8c6

src: "/etc/opendkim/keys{{ '' if dkim_same_key else '/' ~ dkim_domain }}/{{ dkim_selector }}.txt"

Replace /etc/opendkim with {{ dkim_opendkim_config_dir }}

Looks like a change in Ansible, didn't had this problem before.

@ulvida Did you tried wait_for module earlier when you implemented pause? Could it be solution?

@jeanmonet You can use dkim_dns_record_pause: 0 until this is fixed. For the other suggestion, send PR please.

Just FYI that dkim_dns_record_pause=0 is already the default and it still fails.
