  • 1.  Ansible and Junos , Python error ,   "module_stdout": "/usr/bin/python2.7: not found\r\n",

    Posted 03-14-2019 02:04

    I have been fighting with this for days now

    This is my first ever dabble with ansible and I cannot get the simplest playbooks or even a ping to work.

    Centos 7,
    ansible 2.4.2.0
    Juniper.junos module installed into ansible

    I’m testing with a vSRX

     

    I've read the day 1 guides 

     

    This is my error for every playbook I try to run

     

    [root@localhost bin]# ansible -m ping all -vvv

    So its saying python cannot be found but look 

    [root@localhost bin]# //usr/bin/python2.7

    Python 2.7.5 (default, Oct 30 2018, 23:45:53)

    [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)] on linux2

    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

    >>>

     

    It looks like ansible usually runs something python on the remote device but this is not the case for network devices , surely we cannot be expected to install python on switches and routers ?. 

     

     My example playbook dies in the same way

    [root@localhost ansible]# cat  uptime3.yaml

    Hi Simon,

     

    Please try to add Python to the path variable on the host and give it a shot:

    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-python-2-7-6-and-3-3-3-on-centos-6-4

     

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Simon,

     

    I've tried the same steps and config. For me it works fine. However, I see some differences:

    In your case ansible establishes SSH session with 172.27.233.17 (vSRX, right?) and tries to upload and run .py script there.

    In my case I see "ESABLISH LOCAL CONNECTION" and EXEC without "SSH:" (local)

    task path: /home/ab/aaa/uptime.yaml:20
    <10.219.37.14> ESTABLISH LOCAL CONNECTION FOR USER: ab
    <10.219.37.14> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'echo ~ab && sleep 0'

    I'm not sure what's the exact reason for that on your setup, but here's a couple of things to check/try:

    • you use "config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg". Check what does it have in there. On my machine it's a default config file generated by installing ansible several years ago.
    • same for inventory file which is "/etc/ansible/hosts" for you
    • use a different working directory with simple "ansible.cfg" and inventory as suggested in DAY1 book

    Contents of my working dir:

    ab@VB:~/aaa$ pwd
    /home/ab/aaa
    
    ab@VB:~/aaa$ ls -l
    total 16
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 ab ab  59 mrt 14 14:59 ansible.cfg

    -rw-rw-r-- 1 ab ab 518 mrt 14 15:13 uptime.yaml
    
    ab@VB:~/aaa$ cat ansible.cfg

    inventory = inventory
    host_key_checking = False

    Thanks Andrei


    Thanks that worked, when I simplified the config and inventory file and ran it from a new directory.

    This is great I now have a working and non working example. I know this issue is not python on my local centos box and is not the vSRX,  I will keep digging to work out the exact reason this was not working, I suspect it was trying to run a Python Script directly on the Juniper devices rather than using netconf but I'm compeatly new to this so just guessing.

    Thanks again Andrei
    Regards
    Simon Bingham

    this was the issue

    172.27.233.17 ansible_connection=ssh 

      corrected to

    172.27.233.17

     

    resulted in the whole "python" issue.
