Cannot apply deployment with error "Failed to load resource definition: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/ansible/Ansible/k8s_deployments/nginx.yaml'"

[ibrahim-osama-amin]

Hello guys,

Hope you are doing great.
This is my first post here, so I hope I am doing things correctly. I checked previous issues and I did not find this one.

SUMMARY

The first task works normally. The second task gets stuck with this weird error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ansible_collections.kubernetes.core.plugins.module_utils.k8s.exceptions.CoreException: Failed to load resource definition: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/ansible/Ansible/k8s_deployments/nginx.yaml'
fatal: [192.168.111.138]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to load resource definition: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/ansible/Ansible/k8s_deployments/nginx.yaml'"}

It is weird because I am running as root so I shouldn't face any permission issues.

The ansible target user is kube and it has all the requirements installed:

[kube@localhost ~]$ python3 -c "import openshift"
[kube@localhost ~]$ python3 -c "import yaml"
[kube@localhost ~]$ python3 -c "import jsonpatch"

I tried to work with community.kubernetes.k8s and same error
Also, I tried to play around with the names of the nginx deployment and it is the same issue.
This is my repo if you want to check and take a look at the history:

Tried to upgrade ansible today but I am still getting the same issue, most likely I am doing something incorrectly and this is not a bug.

[root@localhost Ansible]# ansible --version
ansible [core 2.17.0]
  config file = /root/ansible/Ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.12.1 (main, May  3 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.4.1 20231218 (Red Hat 11.4.1-3)] (/usr/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.1.4
  libyaml = True

Hi @ibrahim-osama-amin

It is weird because I am running as root so I shouldn't face any permission issues.

There is a line in log:
<192.168.111.138> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: kube

Are you sure that you are running as root?
You can also try to change permissions for nginx.yaml or move the file under /home/kube/. Pay attention that this file is in /root/ansible/Ansible/k8s_deployments/ .
Also you can try to experiment with become keyword

As @dkarpele has pointed out, you are running as the kube user on the host where the module is getting executed. We would need to see your inventory file to provide further help.
