ec2 inventory script broke with 'module' object has no attribute 'boto3_inventory_conn'

[Michael Bushey]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 w/Ansible 2.0.0.2-2ubuntu1.

/etc/ansible$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/contrib/inventory/ec2.py
/etc/ansible$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/contrib/inventory/ec2.ini
/etc/ansible$ chmod +x /etc/ansible/ec2.py

I have a credentials file in ~/.aws/credentials

/etc/ansible$ ./ec2.py --list
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ec2.py", line 1600, in <module>
    Ec2Inventory()
  File "./ec2.py", line 193, in __init__
    self.do_api_calls_update_cache()
  File "./ec2.py", line 527, in do_api_calls_update_cache
    self.get_rds_instances_by_region(region)
  File "./ec2.py", line 633, in get_rds_instances_by_region
    client = ec2_utils.boto3_inventory_conn('client', 'rds', region, **self.credentials)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'boto3_inventory_conn'


I have installed boto and boto3 via both apt-get and pip with the same result.
I have found a few other versions of ec2.py but none of them work.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Michael

The ec2.py inventory is not fully self contained and relies on functionality within ansible itself.

The file you pulled from github requires ansible 2.3 to function.

I installed the latest Ansible (2.3.1.0) from source and now I get:

/etc/ansible$ ./ec2.py --list --refresh-cache

{"msg": "Error: Module unable to decode valid JSON on stdin.  Unable to figure out what parameters were passed", "failed": true}

[Michael Bushey]

"./ec2.py --list" is now working. The correct ec2.py was from ansible-2.3.1.0/contrib/inventory/

Thanks for your help Matt. :)

/etc/ansible/ec2.py --list works, but if I try to run from ansible I get this:

~/ansible/playbooks$ ansible -i /etc/ansible/ec2.py -u ubuntu us-east-1d -m ping

I installed the python-pycryptopp packge but that didn't help.

It seems working fine with ansible 2.4.0
