Ansible slack callback plugin - not working - please help

[Vinod Kumar]

Hi All,

I am using below slack callback configuration and getting below error. When i tried using the slack module instead of slack callback plugin, i am able to get the notification in my slack channel. But i want to use the slack callback plugin to get the ansible play over slack everytime if it is failed/successful.

Please provide your valuable inputs here in case if i am trying something wrong/missing some imp configuration. I have been testing this from last few days and asking experts in this forum to help me in resoving this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Below is the error when running the playbook.

PLAYBOOK: test.yml ****************

 [WARNING]: Failure using method (v2_playbook_on_start) in callback plugin (<ansible.plugins.callback./usr/share/ansible/plugins/callback/slack.CallbackModule object at

You seem to have a version mismatch between ansible and the slack plugin

Hi Brain,

Thanks for the reply.

the slack plugin ships with Ansible, just use the one for the version
of ansible you are executing

Hi Brain,

I have verified the slack callback and ansible  versions, both are compatible and same code in the GIT repository as well. But still having the same issue.

The error message says HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Are you able to use the same credential, webhook_url, etc using curl or any other tool outside of ansible? 

I suspect your haven't configured your slack channel properly

This was actually just recently resolved in devel: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/43542

Backport PRs for 2.5 and 2.6 are open and waiting to be merged for the next releases.

Hello Matt,

I'm stuck with the same issue of 

 [WARNING]: Could not submit message to Slack: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I'm using ansible 2.4.2, is it possible to get these changes into 2.4.2 release?

Regards,

Sreenivas.

I was able to resolve that 404 error;  an employee who created the slack token left the company and the IT disabled it. 

Thanks
