Ansible & Jenkins integration issue

[GornerM]

Ansible playbooks passes without any issues, when I run it directly from cli (also inside of Jenkins workspace)

But I receives the following error 

"FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "ERROR! the handler 'juniper_junos_facts' was not found" 

when ansible runs by execution of Jenkins job.

juniper_junos_facts is the task of Juniper.junos role.

I have specifide library path in ansible configuration and exported ANSIBLE_LIBRARY variable.

Do you have any ideas, why ansible can not find tasks iside of Jenkins?

[Malcolm Hussain-Gambles]

Are you using the ansible plugin within Jenkins?
Or running it as a cli within jenkins?
I've had no issues (yet) using the ansible plugin.

[GornerM]

I've received the same error result with or without ansible plagin.

Here is the last jenkins output log with ansible plugin:

[Job_gitlab_ansible_2] $ /usr/bin/ansible-playbook test2.yml -i hosts -f 5 --private-key /tmp/ssh1443101965150836988.key -u root

Hi,

It seems to me that juniper_junos_facts is not a standard module, as you can see here :
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/list_of_network_modules.html#junos

juniper_junos_facts seems an external module as you can see here :
http://junos-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.0/juniper_junos_facts.html
https://github.com/Juniper/ansible-junos-stdlib

So did you properly modify ansible.cfg to be able to use these external modules ?

Regards,

JYL

[GornerM]

Yes, juniper_junos_facts is external module.

The roles directory is contained Juniper.junos role (https://github.com/Juniper/ansible-junos-stdlib)

-------

Here is my ansible configuration:

[defaults]

inventory=./hosts

remote_user=root

ask_pass=False

transport = netconf

host_key_checking = False

roles_path = ./roles/

library= ./roles/Juniper.junos/library

------

Possible is it required additional specifications in ansible.cfg?

But it works properly without jenkins.

[jean...@lenhof.eu.org]

Hi,

Where's your file ?
For the record ansible look for config file in this order :
* ANSIBLE_CONFIG (an environment variable)
* ansible.cfg (in the current directory)
* .ansible.cfg (in the home directory)
* /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

as written in documentation here :
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_configuration.html

Regards,

JYL

[GornerM]

ansible.cfg can be found in the current directory,

so my test ansible project currently looks like:

 |

 |- ansible.cfg

 |- hosts

 |- test2.yml

 |- roles - Juniper.junos - library - juniper_junos_facts.py

All of this files also are located in jenkins workspace.

[jean...@lenhof.eu.org]

Just guessing... you need to do some make and try to make some progress in this issue you encounter :

Perhaps the default path is not the same if you call ansible-playbook from jenkins and from command line....
Are the files in the homedir of the user you use to execute ansible or in another directory ?

You have to try one or more of these things :
Did you try with absolute paths instead of relative in your ansible.cfg file ?
Did you try to put all files in the homedir of the user ? (you need to rename ansible.cfg in .ansible.cfg with a beginning dot ) ?

Regards,

JYL

From the cli version, try running two commands pwd and ls -l
So you can see if it's putting you in the directory you think you are

I have launched empty Ubuntu 16.04 system and installed ansible & required ansible modules in following way:

---------

sudo su

apt-get install python-pip

apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libssl-dev    libffi-dev

pip install junos-eznc

apt-get install ansible

ansible-galaxy install Juniper.junos  

ansible-galaxy install --roles-path . Juniper.jenkins

ansible-galaxy install --roles-path /etc/ansible/roles Juniper.jenkins

ansible-galaxy install Juniper.jenkins

pip install -U jxmlease

pip install ncclient

-----------

Possibly is it required to install additional packages for ansible?

Ansible project (ansible.cfg, hosts, test2.yml) has been installed in three different directories: /ets/ansible, /root/.ansible ; /root/Project_22.01.2018

Now each time when I run playbook from different directories I receive the same error output:

------------

Jenkins and cli used different ansible versions.

To avoid this error I just updated version of ansible from 2.0.0.2 to 2.4.3.0 inside of Jenkins.

Thank you for supporting.
