Proxmox module not recognized in playbook ? - Ansible 2.0

[rre...@phone.com]

Hello,

I want to test the new proxmox module for ansible 2.0. I followed the instructions for building and installing ansible from source. When I run my testing playbook it produces an error, any ideas on how I can get this thing working ?

ERROR! 'proxmox' is not a valid attribute for a Play


The error appears to have been in '/home/rreeves/git_repos/ansible-test-02/proxmox.yml': line 3, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.


The offending line appears to be:


# Create new containers
- name: Create test-system-01
  ^ here

this is my testing playbook

---
# Create new containers
- name: Create test-system-01
  proxmox: vmid=110 node='cluster001' api_user='root@pam' api_password='test1234' api_host='proxmox01' password='password1234' hostname='test-system-01' ostemplate='local:iso/ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso'


- name: Create test-system-02
  proxmox: vmid=111 node='cluster001' api_user='root@pam' api_password='test1234' api_host='proxmox02' password='password1234' hostname='test-system-02' ostemplate='local:iso/ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso

checking version

ansible 2.0.0

  config file = 

  configured module search path = None

it cannot find the proxmox plugin, double check that it is installed
on your system.

Thanks do you happen to know where is the default install location for modules ?

[Brian Coca]

well I installed this from source following this guide.

https://valdhaus.co/writings/ansible-ubuntu-debian/

This is the only proxmox modules I could locate

 find / | grep proxmox

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/misc/proxmox_template.py

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/misc/proxmox.py

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/misc/proxmox.pyc

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/extras/cloud/misc/proxmox_template.pyc

[Brian Coca]

I would have said you are missing a 'git submodule init --recursive'
step .. but then you would not have any modules, if you are running
python2.7 it should find these in the python path, otherwise just try
setting in ansible.cfg the path directly for core and extras to the
subdirs of /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules

okay I have looked through ansible.cfg and changed this line

library = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules

sudo ansible --version

ansible 2.0.0

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules

still the same problem

ERROR! 'proxmox' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/home/ops/proxmox.yml': line 3, column 3, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

git submodule status

 a4ac171a070551f1ed17a9c09b41d2481ad779af lib/ansible/modules/core (remotes/origin/revert-1564-win_features_improvements_v2-26-ga4ac171)

 3c8c7168014234be339a42481d74f3954d47a4fc lib/ansible/modules/extras (heads/devel)

Is there a better source for installing the development environment ?

The following command should give you the path to the modules:

python -c 'import ansible.modules as m; print m.__file__'

thanks for the tip, it is the same location that I have assigned to library

python -c 'import ansible.modules as m; print m.__file__'

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/modules/__init__.pyc

I haven't gotten any further than this, I suspect other people are having this problem as well ? This doesn't seem stable for now, I guess I will wait. Thanks for the help though
