Crash with 'ansible-doc --list'

[Hugo Posca]

Hello there.

I could not believe I missed this wonderful command, ansible-doc, for so long!
Excited by this new discovery I used it well for reading know modules
like yum, apt, user and so on.

Then, doing a 'ansible-doc --help' I saw a '--list' option, to list
available modules!! Wonderful!
Then... crash!

---
I installed ansible through pip, and:

$ ansible --version
ansible 1.8.2
configured module search path = None

$ ansible-doc --version
ansible-doc 1.8.2
configured module search path = None

---
As I said, commands like this, works:

$ ansible-doc user

---
But '--list' don't:

$ ansible-doc --list
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-doc", line 324, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-doc", line 264, in main
find_modules(path, module_list)
File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-doc", line 213, in find_modules
find_modules(module, module_list)
File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-doc", line 209, in find_modules
for module in os.listdir(path):
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: 'windows'

---

Any ideas? Should I create an issue in Github?

Thanks very much for this wonderful tool!

Kind regards,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

I just updated to 1.8.2 today. It's my first time to know that there is a command like ansible-doc. My machine is Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. However, the command 

ansible-doc --list

works on my machine. Here is additional info:

Pip version 1.4.1

Ansible 1.8.2

I suggest that you remove Ansible through pip and install it again.

Hope his helps!

Hi Eduardo, thanks for the feedback!

This problem is very strange indeed...

At my work, with pip 1.5.4 and Ansible 1.8.2, "ansible-doc --list" works!
Here, I have pip 1.5.6 and it doesn't work :(

One strange thing here is that when I make a "pip --version", insted
of simply showing the version I get this:

---
$ pip --version
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py:2425:

This looks like an "environment polution" by my side :/

If someone has a hint, I'd be thankful!

Don't know if this will help but, this is my "uname -a":
3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks very much!
