Not possible to source .bashrc with Ansible

Question

I can ssh to the remote host and do a source /home/username/.bashrc - everything works fine. However if I do:

- name: source bashrc
  sudo: no
          


        

Answer 1

My 2 cents, i circumnavigated the problem sourcing ~/.nvm/nvm.sh into ~/.profile and then using sudo -iu as suggested in another answer.

Tried on January 2018 vs Ubuntu 16.04.5

- name: Installing Nvm 
  shell: >
    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
  args:
    creates: "/home/{{ ansible_user }}/.nvm/nvm.sh"
  tags:
    - nodejs    

- name: Source nvm in ~/.profile
  sudo: yes
  sudo_user: "{{ ansible_user }}"
  lineinfile: >
    dest=~/.profile
    line="source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh"
    create=yes
  tags: 
    - nodejs
  register: output    

- name: Installing node 
  command: sudo -iu {{ ansible_user }} nvm install --lts
  args:
     executable: /bin/bash
  tags:
    - nodejs
