python-consul required for this module

[Zach Langer]

I'm trying to use consul to start services with an ansible playbook(http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/consul_module.html). I know I have installed all the dependancies listed, yet when the simplest code is run:

  - name: register vault service with the local consul agent

    consul:

      service_name: vault

      service_port: 80

It returns an error: 

fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "python-consul required for this module. see http://python-consul.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#installation"}

I've run the pip install python-consul command as illustrated in the suggested link many times.  How can I fix this, or is there another way to start a vault server with ansible?

The error message is not clear but in this case, the "python-consul" module needs to be installed on the remote host. You can do that with a task like this:

    - name: Install python-consul module

      pip:

        name: python-consul

        state: present
