ansible and gce.py

[Peter Mooshammer]

Hi there,

I assume I am missing a step in the setup:

1.) I set:

ANSIBLE_HOSTS=/...../ansible/gce.py

this files copied from the 1.8.2 branch ../plugins/inventory/gce.py

libcloud is installed with pip.

PYTHONPATH=/..../ansible

The secrets.py seems be correct as I can create a vm with a static hosts file.

What happens is:

./gce.py --list

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./gce.py", line 287, in <module>

    GceInventory()

    code = err.get('reason', None)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Anything I may have done wrong?

thanks

Hi Peter,

I tried the secrets.py way and got the same error.

I did get things working by setting the GCE_INI_PATH

> cat $GCE_INI_PATH

[gce]

# You can find your generated gce_service_account_email_address on the compute web console

gce_service_account_email_address =  10*************redacted#####k...@developer.gserviceaccount.com

I may also be allowed to use your personal account, but haven't verified.

#gce_service_account_email_address =   <your-email>@gmail.com

# You can download creds and possible convert pkcs12 to pem format according to the GCE authorization docs

gce_service_account_pem_file_path = /user/space/path/to/your/<project_key>.pem

# gce_project_id is the name gcloud console generated for you, not the name you gave the project.  

# Check on the console web page

gce_project_id = <your-generated-project-id like potassium-anger-888>

Hi Kesten,

should have updated the thread. I had a typo in the email address required for authentication. Stupid - but they don't really check if you are able to authenticate. So when auth fails there is an empty or no json object returned and we see this error ....

What I did: I dont use GCE_INI_PATH, I only use PYTHONPATH and point it the dir that contains secrets.py. 

gce.ini isn't really used that much unlike ec2.ini 

Hope this helps

Peter
