Create GCE instances msg: Unexpected response: {}

[Faisal Rabbani]

Hi,

I am trying to create new instance via ansible gce module but getting this message:

PLAY [localhost] **************************************************************

TASK: [Launch instances] ******************************************************

failed: [localhost -> 127.0.0.1] => {"changed": false, "failed": true}

msg: Unexpected response: {}

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

This is my playbook:

  local_action:

            module: gce

            name: test-instance

            zone: us-central1-a

            machine_type: f1.micro

            image: ubuntu-14-10

            service_account_email: ####################@developer.gserviceaccount.com

            pem_file: /root/.ssh/key

            project_id: 234sda

        register: gce

I have the same issue. I use a gce_module of ansible which uses apache-libcloud. When I try to run a google instance, I get an error - failed: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "failed": true} msg: Unexpected response: {} 

What can possibly cause it?

Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated! can't resolve it by ourselves

Has anyone resolved this issue? I am experiencing the same thing but cannot find the cause of the error.
