Install issue on CentOS 6 about ansible-role-solr HOT 4 CLOSED

@longwave - Strange, I have this working on a few CentOS 6 servers, so I wonder if maybe in the playbook you're using, you might have gather_facts: no? Or maybe for some other reason the ansible_distribution and ansible_distribution_major_version vars aren't getting set?

from ansible-role-solr.

I have gather_facts: yes set, and even if the vars weren't set somehow I would still expect it to be skipped as the when clause should equate to false, so I also find this a bit strange. For now I have worked around it by making the directory in pre_tasks so the role can place the unit file even if it isn't used; I will try to debug properly if I get time to do so.

from ansible-role-solr.

The debug output above gave me a clue: the quotes around ansible_distribution_major_version mean it is treated as a string and not an integer. This is an upstream issue: ansible/ansible#15817 - but it looks like it can be worked around by casting the variable to int before using it.

Ah, that makes sense.
