I have an issue with Ansible Tower 3.7.0 (ansible 2.9.7) when using the Copy module I receive this error message:
TASK [Copy Installation Directory For CentOS 7] ********************************
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: If you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the remote_src option
fatal: [devmachine]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not find or access '/var/lib/awx/projects/xagt_install/Test_Directory' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the remote_src option"}
However, that directory path does exist:
[root#tower xagt_install]# pwd
/var/lib/awx/projects/xagt_install
[root#tower xagt_install]# ls -Alh
drwxr-xr-x. 2 awx awx 98 Jun 17 12:57 Test_Directory
Here is the task/play:
- name: Copy Installation Directory For CentOS 7
copy:
src: /var/lib/awx/projects/xagt_install/Test_Directory
dest: /tmp/
remote_src: no
when: (ansible_facts['distribution'] == "CentOS" and ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "7" and 'xagt' in ansible_facts.packages)
It appears the "Test_Directory" has the appropriate permissions. Anyone have an idea as to why this module is reporting it cannot "find or access" the directory?
Disabling: Settings --> Jobs --> Enable Job Isolation fixed my issue and the Copy module works.
I assume if I left the Job Isolation enabled then I would need to store directories in /tmp in order for the Copy module to access them?

I'm having issues with Ansible picking up a module that I've added.
The module is called 'passwordstore' https://github.com/morphje/ansible_pass_lookup/.
I'm using Ansible 2.2
In my playbook, I've added a 'library' folder and have added the contents of that GitHub directory to that folder. I've also tried uncommenting library = /usr/share/ansible/modules and adding the module files there and still doesn't get picked up.
Have also tried setting environment variable to ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=/usr/share/ansible/modules
My Ansible playbook looks like this:
---
- name: example play
hosts: all
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: set password
debug: msg="{{ lookup('passwordstore', 'files/test create=true')}}"
And when I run this I get this error;
ansible-playbook main.yml
PLAY [example play] ******************************************************
TASK [set password] ************************************************************
fatal: [backend.example.name]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "lookup plugin (passwordstore) not found"}
fatal: [mastery.example.name]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "lookup plugin (passwordstore) not found"}
to retry, use: --limit #/etc/ansible/roles/test-role/main.retry
Any guidance on what I'm missing? It may just be the way in which I'm trying to add the custom module, but any guidance would be appreciated.
It's a lookup plugin (not a module), so it should go into a directory named lookup_plugins (not library).
Alternatively, add the path to the cloned repository in ansible.cfg using the lookup-plugins setting.
I am quite new to SSH servers and Ansible so this might be a dumb question.
Tried to run an Ansible playbook whilst accessing the server with a private key using the bash command below.
ansible-playbook dbserv.yml -i hosts --limit local-servers --private-key=(where I put the private key)
However, I am getting this error:
fatal: [xxx]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"failed": true,
"invocation": {
"module_name": "setup"
},
"module_stderr": "Shared connection to xxx closed.\r\n",
"module_stdout": "/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python2.7: not found\r\n",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE" }
I have Python installed on my computer so I do not understand why I am getting this error.
OS environment:
Ubuntu 16.04.1
The error message you get is:
/usr/bin/python2.7: not found
Ansible requires the target machine to have Python installed in order to work properly (see Managed node requirements).
The most likely reason is that your target is Ubuntu 16.04 which does not come with Python 2 installed. In this case you need to install it or try the experimental support for Python 3.
If Python 2.7 is installed in a different directory, you can add a host variable, for example in your inventory file (assuming the hostname is xxx as in your question`):
xxx ansible_python_interpreter=/path/to/python2.7
To run modules with Python 3 (experimental), set:
xxx ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
Note: Ansible by default looks for /usr/bin/python, so it's likely that your playbook, inventory file, or ansible.cfg already contain settings for /usr/bin/python2.7 which does not exist on the target machine.
i am trying to deploy a VM via Ansible on my ESXi host.
I am using the following role for this:
- vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: emea-esx-s18t.****.net
username: ****
password: ****
guest: newvm001
state: powered_off
vm_extra_config:
vcpu.hotadd: yes
mem.hotadd: yes
notes: This is a test VM
vm_disk:
disk1:
size_gb: 10
type: thin
datastore: ****
vm_nic:
nic1:
type: vmxnet3
network: VM Network
network_type: standard
vm_hardware:
memory_mb: 4096
num_cpus: 4
osid: windows7Server64Guest
scsi: paravirtual
esxi:
datacenter: MyDatacenter
hostname: esx-s18t.****.net
when i execute this role now via a playbook i get the following message:
root#ansible1:~/ansible# ansible-playbook -i Inventory vmware_deploy.yml
PLAY ***************************************************************************
TASK [setup] *******************************************************************
ok: [172.20.22.5]
TASK [vmware : vsphere_guest] **************************************************
fatal: [172.20.22.5]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "pysphere module required"}
PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
172.20.22.5 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
So it seems to be "pysphere" module is missing. i've already checked that with the command:
root#ansible1:~/ansible# pip install pysphere
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pysphere in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysphere-0 .1.7-py2.7.egg
Then i did the "upgrade" and get the following message back:
root#ansible1:~/ansible# pip install pysphere --upgrade
Requirement already up-to-date: pysphere in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysphere-0.1.7-py2.7.egg
So it seems to be it is already installed and its up-to-date , why do i get this error message then?
How can i fix it that my god damn role works fine now?
Jesus, Ansible makes me crazy ..
I hope you guys can help me, thanks in advance!
kind regards,
kgierman
EDIT:
so i've writen a new playbook with the old stuff, the new playbool lookes like this(i've added your localhost and connection local stuff):
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: emea-esx-s18t.****.net
username: ****
password: ****
guest: newvm001
state: powered_off
vm_extra_config:
vcpu.hotadd: yes
mem.hotadd: yes
notes: This is a test VM
vm_disk:
disk1:
size_gb: 10
type: thin
datastore: ****
vm_nic:
nic1:
type: vmxnet3
network: VM Network
network_type: standard
vm_hardware:
memory_mb: 4096
num_cpus: 4
osid: windows7Server64Guest
scsi: paravirtual
esxi:
datacenter: MyDatacenter
hostname: esx-s18t.****.net
so when i execute this playbook i get the following error:
root#ansible1:~/ansible# ansible-playbook vmware2.yml
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in '/root/ansible/vmware2.yml': line 7, column 19, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
vcenter_hostname: emea-esx-s18t.sddc-hwl-family.net
username: root
^ here
the struggle is real -.-
You generally should execute provisioning modules such as vsphere_guest on your local ansible machine.
I suspect that 172.20.22.5 is actually your ESX host, and ansible try to execute module from there, where pysphere is surely absent.
Use:
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- vsphere_guest:
...
Ran into this issue once again on macOS / OSX...
It seems to be related to PYTHONPATH.
I have this in my .profile:
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
[ ... further down ... ]
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.1.2.0/libexec/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.2.1.0/libexec/vendor/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
The first line with PYTHONPATH is where pysphere and other system modules reside.
Also take note of the specific version of Ansible!
Anyway, this seems to resolve the issue.

I followed this website(http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-ldap-keystone/)
I am assuming the above snippet is from a file written in shell script. Your example looks Ok.
I checked the link you provided and noted that the line you say failed is written in the IBM example as:
KEYSTONE_IDENTITY_BACKEND = ldap
Which is not legal sh (or bash) and would cause the error message you described.
KEYSTONE_IDENTITY_BACKEND = ldap
-bash: KEYSTONE_IDENTITY_BACKEND: command not found
I suspect you copied and pasted the bad example from the link into your localrc file, which caused the error you saw, but somehow when you wrote the SO question, you corrected the mistake by removing the spaces around the "=".

Full Description
I installed devstack on Centos7 (using the Devstack Quick Start Guide):
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
cd devstack
./stack.sh
I entered passwords as prompted, but eventually it failed with the error:
Error: pg_config executable not found.
Please add the directory containing pg_config to the PATH
or specify the full executable path with the option:
python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...
or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.
I traced the problem to a limited PATH in the sudoers entry, and because my postgreSQL install is in a non-standard location, I linked pg_config into /usr/local/bin and ran stack.sh again:
sudo ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_config /usr/local/bin/pg_config
./stack.sh
(You probably won't have to do this if Postgres is in a standard location).
Install took a long time -

I killed the devstack session and did it all again with a clean git repo and with a localrc file.
./unstack.sh
cd ..
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
cd devstack
cat << __EOF > local.conf

This time there were no password prompts, so the local config was definitely read.
I'm getting this error while Ansible (1.9.2) is trying to unpack the file.
19:06:38 TASK: [jmeter | unpack jmeter] ************************************************
19:06:38 fatal: [jmeter01.veryfast.server.jenkins] => input file not found at /tmp/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz or /tmp/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz
19:06:38
19:06:38 FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
19:06:38
I checked on the target server, /tmp/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz file exists and it has valid permissions (for testing I also gave 777 even though not reqd but still got the above error mesg).
I also checked md5sum of this file (compared it with what's there on the apache jmeter site) -- It matches!
# md5sum apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz|grep 53dc44a6379b7b4a57976936f3a65e03
53dc44a6379b7b4a57976936f3a65e03 apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz
When I'm using tar -xvzf on this file, tar is able to show/extract it's contents in the .tgz file.
What could I be missing? At this point, I'm wondering unarchive method/module in Ansible must have some bug.
My last resort (if I can't get unarchive in Ansible to work) would be to use Command: "tar -xzvf /tmp/....." but I don't want to do that as my first preference.
The default behavior for Unarchive is to find the file on your local system, copy it to the remote, and unpack it. I suspect if you're getting a file not found error then you need to specify copy=no in your task.
