Private Git Repo in requirements.yml does not work without private ssh key

[emoshaya]

because I use private git repositories in my requirements.yml, I need to be able to upload my local ~/.ssh/id_rsa to the target host ~/.ssh/id_rsa... is there a way to do that in the provisioner?

1. you need to put the /id_rsa in the ansible repo somewhere so it get copied to the server.
   you could look at the additional_copy_path parameter

2. then we need to add similar functionalu to the custom_pre_apply_command as in kitchen-puppet
   from https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-puppet/blob/master/provisioner_options.md
   Try creating a pull request. I might get to on the weekend to implement.

3. then this custom_pre_play_command we would put the command to move the id_rsa file from the ansible repo on the ~/.ssh directory

added custom_pre_play_command option to 0.46.1 so should be able to implement this.
Thought a bit more and this seems to be a common requirement.
see #87
we have an option ssh_known_hosts
it would be better to have an explicit option ssh_private_keys which is a list of files to copy to ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Hi @neillturner The change in 0.46.1 kind of broke the idempotency test in kitchen. I get to the end of the first converge where it is about to run the second converge to verify idempotency and I get the following errors:
bash: -c: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token &&' bash: -c: line 3: && (echo 'going to invoke ansible-playbook second time:';

thanks for letting me i will fix -)

[neillturner]

fixed in 0.46.2 but i will still add an option ssh_private_keys

[emoshaya]

thanks @neillturner any update on the ssh_private_keys option?

[neillturner]

additional_ssh_private_keys parameter in version 0.46.3
would be great if you can test.
