Git fatal error on trying to clone directly from Ansible-CodePudding

I'm using ansible (Trellis) to deploy my projects.

I have a repo on github.

This is my ansible code

- name: UPDATE - Clone project files
  become: yes
  # become_user: "{{ project.user.name | default(ansible_web_user) }}"
  git:
    repo: "{{ project.git.ssh }}"
    dest: "{{ project_root }}/shared/source"
    version: "{{ project.git.branch | default('master') }}"
    accept_hostkey: "{{ project.git.accept_hostkey | default(repo_accept_hostkey | default(true)) }}"
    force: yes
    # key_file: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
  ignore_errors: false
  no_log: false
  register: git_clone

For some days this error has appeared for no apparent reason, nothing has changed

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/bin/git ls-remote origin -h refs/heads/master", "msg": "fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists.", "rc": 128, "stderr": "fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists.\n", "stderr_lines": ["fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository", "fatal: Could not read from remote repository.", "", "Please make sure you have the correct access rights", "and the repository exists."], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

I've tried several solutions, even removing the forwardAgent and forcing the key_file directly into the git call. It still returns an error.

But if I connect via ssh to the target machine and try to do a git clone .... everything works.

I don't understand what the problem could be.

Adding

- name: UPDATE - Safe Directory
  command: git config --global --add safe.directory {{ project_root }}/shared/source
  check_mode: no

and editing

- name: UPDATE - Clone project files
  # become: yes
  # become_user: "{{ project.user.name | default(ansible_web_user) }}"
  git:
    repo: "{{ project.git.ssh }}"
    dest: "{{ project_root }}/shared/source"
    version: "{{ project.git.branch | default('master') }}"
    accept_hostkey: "{{ project.git.accept_hostkey | default(repo_accept_hostkey | default(true)) }}"
    force: yes
    key_file: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa"
    update: no
  ignore_errors: false
  no_log: false
  register: git_clone

I solve the problem ;)

# key_file: "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"

Note, the key_file attribute of the git Ansible module is supposed to reference a private key, not the public one.

But check first the value of {{ project.git.ssh }}, to make sure it is a valid GitHub SSH URL like [email protected]:me/myRepo. If not, or if empty, that would explain the fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository error message.
