I tried a playbook with the following (accidentally wrong) task:
tasks:
- name: authorized key test
authorized_key: key=/home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key_options='command="/foo/bar"' user=sam
I got the following traceback:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 2515, in <module>
main()
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 460, in main
results = enforce_state(module, module.params)
File "/home/sam/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1427110003.65-277897441194582/authorized_key", line 385, in enforce_state
parsed_new_key = (parsed_new_key[0], parsed_new_key[1], parsed_options, parsed_new_key[3])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
With this fix, I see the expected error instead:
TASK: [authorized key test] ***************************************************
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}
msg: invalid key specified: /home/sam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
