Custom module error

[Adam Shantz]

Hi all - 

I'm working on a custom module in python that takes a subset of an XML config, and turns it into JSON so I can use it with an Ansible playbook & Jinja2 template. 

My python code works fine to parse the output, but my module continually fails for reasons I can't explain.  Can someone give me a hint?

Module code:

#!/usr/bin/python

First glance, looks like quoting issue. Module output seems to include a mix of single and double quotes. module output should be json with double quotes.

Looks like:

   output = json.dumps(queuesList)

is going to make output a string with json in it. If you want the

structured data in the result, you will want to include queuesList

as a value to exit_json()

    # assumes queuesList object can be json serialized. If not, you will need to wrap it or transform it

    # to something that is (eg, a dict with string keys and values)

    module.exit_json(changed=True, failed=False, {'queueslist': queuesList})

(your pasted code also doesn't include 'output' in it's returns in exit_json or fail_json. Those need to include the data to be returned)

Can you post the stdout output from the module called directly?

a couple of ways to do that:

1. use hacking/test-module

    # from ansible src checkout, assuming custom module is at ~/new_module

    $ hacking/test-module -m ~/new_module -a 'src=/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml'

2. use ad hoc mode

   # assumes new_module is somewhere on ansible module library path

   $ ansible -v localhost -m new_module -a 'src=/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml'

Hi Adrian - 

I think you're right about the quoting.  Here's the ouput without any modifications to my module:

ansible -v localhost -m new_module -a 'src=/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml'

Ah, sorry I should have said:

   module.exit_json(changed=True, failed=False, queueslist=queuesList)

 

The adds 'queueslist' item to the return data dict with a value of the queuesList object.

The module will try to serialize the keyword args as a dict, add it to the rest of the return

object, and print the JSON to stdout. ansible will wrap that up in but the module by

itself will do that (ie, as invoked by 'test-module')

The module output should look something roughly like:

{

    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "src": "/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml"
        }
    },

    "failed": false,

    "changed": true,

    "queueslist": ["whatever_a_queuesList_serializes_to_item1",

                         "another_item_in_queueslist"]

}

If I change that line to be:

    module.exit_json(changed=True, failed=False, {'queueslist': output})

SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg (<unknown>, line 163)

Same issue as above (ie, my bad example)

Sorry if I'm being dense here.  I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I don't know how to tell what it is. 

The next issue will be if queuesList is json serializable or not. If you get an error about that, you will likely need to

build a simpler object (like a dict) from queuesList to serialize.

[Adam Shantz]

Thanks.  I changed my module & the result is below.  I guess since queuesList is technically a list of dicts, it can't be automatically serialized?  If I change it from a list to a dict, then I assume things should be easier to handle automatically?  I guess I need to do more research on how to serialize things.

Ah, sorry I should have said:

The adds 'queueslist' item to the return data dict with a value of the queuesList object.

A list should be fine, and looking at how queuesList is populated, I don't see any obvious that would not be json serializable.

But to diagnose/debug further, really need the stdout output from invoking the module directly. ie:

# cd to your ansible src checkout

$ cd ~/src/ansible

$ source hacking/env-setup

$ hacking/test-module -m /path/to/your/new_module.py -a 'src=/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml'

Looks like your module is writing to stdout from somewhere other than module.exit_json(), likely via print() in the module code.

The module output has to be _just_ valid json on stdout (the data that exit_json() writes to stdout). Anything else will cause

failures.

ie, the module stdout is:

"{'cache-size': '5000', 'flowcontrol-start-queuesize': '-1', 'name': 'q1', 'cleanup-interval': '-1', 'persistence-mode': 'non_persistent'}

{'cache-size': '5000', 'flowcontrol-start-queuesize': '-1', 'name': 'q2', 'cleanup-interval': '-1', 'persistence-mode': 'non_persistent'}

{'cache-size': '5000', 'flowcontrol-start-queuesize': '-1', 'name': 'q3', 'cleanup-interval': '-1', 'persistence-mode': 'non_persistent'}

{'name': 'test'}

{"invocation": {"module_args": {"src": "/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml"}}, "failed": false, "changed": true, "queueslist": [{"q1": {"cache-size": "5000", "flowcontrol-start-queuesize": "-1", "propertyCount": 5, "cleanup-interval": "-1", "persistence-mode": "non_persistent"}}, {"q2": {"cache-size": "5000", "flowcontrol-start-queuesize": "-1", "propertyCount": 5, "cleanup-interval": "-1", "persistence-mode": "non_persistent"}}, {"q3": {"cache-size": "5000", "flowcontrol-start-queuesize": "-1", "propertyCount": 5, "cleanup-interval": "-1", "persistence-mode": "non_persistent"}}, {"test": {"propertyCount": 1}}]}

That first blob looks like debug output to stdout, which is confusing the module runner. rm it, or write debug info to stderr to avoid the problem.

Hey Adrian - 

It's taken me a few days to get back to this, but I wanted to thank you for your advice.  You were right about me having an extra print statement in my python & it throwing things off.  I finally went through it slowly & figured it out (much simpler than I was making it out to be).  Thanks again!
