ansible2.0 expect module not working

[Karan Singh]

Hello Guys

Here is my ansible task

 - name: Firmware path lookup

   shell: rpm -ql hp-firmware-"{{ device.stdout }}" | grep '\.scexe'

   register: FirmwarePath

 - expect:

     command: sh "{{ FirmwarePath.stdout }}"

     responses:

       "Continue (y/N)": 'y'

And it ends up like this. 

TASK [ansible-role-hp-firmware-upgrade : expect command=sh "{{ FirmwarePath.stdout }}" responses={u'Continue (y/N)': u'y'}] ***

fatal: [storage0204]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/home/ksingh/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1448985850.39-65513584639595/expect\", line 2084, in <module>\r\n    main()\r\n  File \"/home/ksingh/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1448985850.39-65513584639595/expect\", line 154, in main\r\n    out, rc = pexpect.runu(args, timeout=timeout, withexitstatus=True,\r\nAttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'runu'\r\n", "parsed": false}

If i run this manually with script command it works nicely.

Can you please advice , how can i make this work.

Exactly the same is happening over here, trying to use expect, having installed the pexpect package earlier in the role tasks. Here is the -vvvv of ansible, trying to install a gitlab ci runner:

Any ideas?

What version of pexpect are the two of you using?
