How can I add a PPA repository using Ansible?

Question

I'm trying to add a new repository to a server so that I can install Java by Ansible. Unfortunately whenever I try to run the playbook it fails because of a GPG error. Can somebody explain what is going wrong here and what I need to do in order to fix this?

I'm using Ansible 1.7.2 and currently only connecting to localhost.

I have a very simple Playbook that looks like this:

- hosts: home
  tasks:
   - name: Add repositories
     apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java' state=present

When I try to execute it, I get the following error:

sal@bobnit:~/Workspace$ ansible-playbook --ask-sudo-pass basic.yml 
sudo password:

Answer 1

Oh, this seems to have been entirely caused by me forgetting the -s option!

Without this it wasn't using sudo.

Answer 2

Use a option validate_certs with no

- name: Adicionando PPA do php 7.1 apt_repository: validate_certs: no repo: 'ppa:ondrej/php' state: present
