TASK [ansible-prometheus : Get checksum for amd64 architecture] ****************
objc[3990]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
objc[3990]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

This is run from a mac osx machine (Python 3.7.0), against ubuntu 18. As part of this, it crashes python on my mac.
I don't encounter this issue run from ubuntu 18 (python 3.6.6) against ubuntu 18.

It seems like it's caused by the lookup by url, as even this fails:

- debug:
    msg: "{{ item }}"
  loop: "{{ lookup('url', 'https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v' + prometheus_version + '/sha256sums.txt', wantlist=True) }}"

@chrisjohnson00 not sure if you are still running into this issue, but it seems to be an issue with ansible on osx high sierra, see here for a work around: ansible/ansible#32499 (comment)

Can confirm, same problem on debian stretch

any chance to get this merged?

Currently there is no working PR resolving this. #142 is not working as expected and I don't have time now to debug that.
I would be happy to review a PR with a proper fix 😄

Thanks! I will be sure to include that when running from my Mac!

This issue went stale and it looks like the problem is with ansible itself and not with the role. As a workaround for this PR #239 can be used.
