Run Ansible Playbook based on the Redundancy State.

I get an error when running this playbook. Error is "msg": "module (bigip_facts) is missing interpreter line". I'm using the bigip_facts.py from the f5-ansible repo on github

That error does not appear to be specific to F5 Ansible modules. Looks like an error that occurs when Ansible can't find the module due to a naming conflict. The following issues offer clues:

similar issue 1

similar issue 2

Does running the playbook with high verbosity, the -vvvv flag, give you more details about the error?

I see what your saying but I don't understand why is doing this. It's looking for the module in "Using module file /media/sf_f5_ansible_modules/f5_playbooks/bigip_facts.yml" but this is not the module file and the directory for the module in my ansible.cfg is /media/sf_f5_ansible_modules. Can you explained why this might be happening?

ok I figured it out I had a bigip_facts.yml file in my playbooks directory. I removed that .yml file and now I get a much more involved error message.

I guess an httplib.py function received nothing as an argument for the port parameter. The default port is 443. Are you using a non-default port? Can you show me your bigip_facts task and a snippet from your hosts file showing the hosts for this playbook? Be sure to change IP addrs and hostnames and any other sensitive info to something generic.

Playbook:

• name: Display BIG-IP details hosts: test_cli gather_facts: no connection: local

tasks: - name: get bigip facts bigip_facts: server: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" user: "admin" password: "secret" include: vlan delegate_to: localhost

HOSTS:

[test_cli] 10.1.1.1

As far as I know I'm using the default port. Port 443 for REST and 22 SSH.

Nothing wrong there...(except connection: local and delegate_to: localhost is redundant, but that won't cause the issue. More on that here) seems like something more under the hood. So before going any further since the f5-ansible repository is "an incubator" and "The modules in this repository may be broken due to experimentation or refactoring."

I suggest trying the stable releases that are included in Ansible itself:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/network/f5

or if they have been removed for some reason, you can download them from the ansible github repository as opposed to f5-ansible. The link goes directly to 2.5, but you can pick your ansible version from the Branch dropdown.

Same error so it looks like its not related to the module

I think I'm making progress but still don't understand why this is failing. I have the ipaddress.py in the module_utils/network/f5 folder and my ansible.cfg is pointing to the correct location for ipaddress.py.

I've run the playbook you posted earlier without error and I do not have ipaddress.py in the module_utils directory:

 ls /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/module_utils/network/f5
bigip.py  bigip.pyc  bigiq.py  bigiq.pyc  common.py  common.pyc  __init__.py  __init__.pyc  
iworkflow.py  iworkflow.pyc

In my testing, bigip_facts has not needed ipaddress.py as I do not have the package installed on my system at all. Did you expand the playbook?
