Ansible not reporting distribution info on Ubuntu 20.04?
Example on Ubuntu 18.04 reporting distribution info in 'ansible_facts':
$ ansible -i hosts ubuntu1804 -u root -m setup -a "filter=ansible_distribution*"
ubuntu1804 | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"ansible_distribution": "Ubuntu",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "18",
"ansible_distribution_release": "bionic",
"ansible_distribution_version": "18.04"
},
"changed": false
}
Example of same command against Ubuntu 20.04:
$ ansible -i hosts ubuntu2004 -u root -m setup -a "filter=ansible_distribution*"
ubuntu2004 | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {},
"changed": false
}
Is this an issue with Ubuntu or Ansible? Is there a workaround?
Issue resolved with today's update to ansible 2.9.7
