Ansible can't git clone from enterprise git server

Question

Hi I have enterprise git server where I created a private test-repo and added a ssh-key on the deploy ssh key form. I defined a git role in my common roles which is having below yml definition.

---

- name: github enterprise private key
  copy: >
    src=id_rsa_ghe
    dest=/etc/id_rsa_ghe
    owner=root
    group=root
    mode=0600

- name: clone test-repo project
  git:
    repo: git@git.example-private.com:code/test-repo.git
    dest: /etc/test-repo
    accept_hostkey: true
    key_file: /etc/id_rsa_ghe

in roles/common/git I defined files folder where I put my private key for git clone however I am still getting error as below

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["/usr/bin/git", "fetch", "--tags", "origin"], "failed": true, "msg": "Failed to download remote objects and refs: ERROR: Repository not found.\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\n\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\nand the repository exists.\n"}

Below are my system details. And I am running this playbook locally on one of my server.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

$ansible --version
ansible 2.2.1.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

Below is the actual error which I get repository not found.

Looks like your clone test-repo project task has an syntax error and that is why Ansible can't find the repository. Replace the : with / for the repo parameter like this:

- name: clone test-repo project
  git:
    repo: git@git.example-private.com/code/test-repo.git
    dest: /etc/test-repo
    accept_hostkey: true
    key_file: /etc/id_rsa_ghe

You would use : to define a non standard port.
