Ansible Augeas module

[Dimitar Hristov]

Hi Guys,

I'm having some issues implementing the augeas module for ansible. I'm running it on CentOS 6.6 and I have the following packages installed:

augeas.x86_64
python-augeas.noarch
augeas-libs.x86_64
augeas-devel.x86_64

I've added augeas.py to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible/modules/custom and when I run my playbook I get the following error:

msg: Could not import python augeas module. Please install augeas related packages and augeas python bindings.

Any ideas what am I missing?

Regards,
Dimitar

This doesn't answer your question but is it possible to use a template or lineinfile instead of the ?

The complexity and issues with augeas don't seem to fit in with the intentions (IMO) of Ansbile.

I'm assuming that you are manipulating the file across different tasks? As a quick suggestion are you able to separate the logic for this config manipulation into a separate role? or playbook to include?

The module I'm assuming you are referring to

Hi Steve,

yes, https://github.com/paluh/ansible-augeas is the module I was targeting and testing. I was planning to use to for custom modifications of some configuration files, but instead of that I decided to go over with templates - whenever I need a change, I will make it in the certain template and replicate it with a task to the servers.

Anyway, ansible-augeas is pretty interesting module, and I will be happy if one day I have the chance to work with it.

Thanks,
Dimitar
