1276397 - hgweb container setup fails with "Destination directory /etc/systemd/system does not exist"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MozReview Graveyard :: Testing / Development Environment, defect)

Description

[Māris Fogels [:mars] (please needinfo)]

'mozreview start' fails to provision the hgweb container with ansible.  This blocks dev environment setup and test runs.

Here is the log for start-local-mozreview:


ERROR hgweb> TASK: [hg-web | systemd service file for vcsreplicator] ***********************
ERROR hgweb>
ERROR hgweb> failed: [localhost] => {"checksum": "3c49c127c0316329beeef3f3abbb7f8bdb13c286", "failed": true}
ERROR hgweb> msg: Destination directory /etc/systemd/system does not exist
ERROR hgweb>
ERROR hgweb> FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
...
ERROR hgweb> localhost                  : ok=101  changed=85   unreachable=0    failed=1


The error stems from a mismatch between the OS targeted by the ansible scripts and the guest OS used for the mozreview development environment.  mozreview deploys to CentOS 6, which doesn't have systemd.  This part of the ansible scripts targets CentOS 7, which does use systemd.  Running the ansible scripts with 'mozreview start' or 'start-local-mozreview' provisions a CentOS 6 box, and the ansible play fails.

This should be fixed.
