Sendgrid fails to send mail about lightbulb

[tima]

I discovered using Ansible v2.2 that the sendgrid client library has made a number of breaking changes in the past calendar year.

https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-python/issues/217

The module in v2.2 only works with versions of the library prior to v3.0. The latest is 3.6.3. If anyone does a pip install sendgrid they're going to get a library that will give them a stacktrace dump when they use the sender module. Annoying.

Users need to use pip install sendgrid==2.2.1 to get a version that will work with what ships in v2.2.

This is with Ansible 2.1.0 and the latest checkout of lightbulb.

[thisdavejohnson]

This also fails with the same error on Ansible 2.0.0.2.

@thisdavejohnson I'm wondering if our playbooks are assuming we are using @defionscode 's fork of the sendgrid module: ansible/ansible-modules-extras#1275

[jsmartin]

Oh yes, it is obviously, I see the forked module already in the role. Maybe sendgrid has had an API change?

@thisdavejohnson Digging in to this since I'm doing a training engagement this week.

I am able to duplicate the original error (reported in Slack):

TASK [training_infra : Email Hosts file] ***************************************
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SendGridClient'

This happens with the latest (>=3.0) sendgrid module. Seems something changed there that needs to be updated.

Regarding the issue reported here, I'm unable to duplicate the error.

• Python 2.7.11
• macOS 10.11.5
• Ansible 2.1.0.0
• sendgrid library 2.1.1
• custom sendgrid.py module included with the role

I'll have to try running it from a CentOS 7 control machine and see if that allows me to duplicate the problem.

I hit the problem on stock RHEL 7.2 - I downgraded sendgrid (upon reading this) and now it works ok

sudo pip install sendgrid==2.1.1

• Python 2.7.5
• RHEL 7.2
• Ansible 2.1.1

[thisdavejohnson]

I still have this problem with:

• Python 2.7.5
• RHEL 7.1
• Ansible 2.1.1
• sendgrid library 2.1.1
• custom sendgrid.py modules included with the role

@thisdavejohnson @auden-rovellequartz

I was able to successfully send email from CentOS 7.2 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Can you please try using branch wip-refactor-provisioner? Make sure to check out the README since several things have changed and you might need to change your extra_vars.yml slightly.

[auden-rovellequartz]

what version of Python are you using?

Is this still an issue with Ansible 2.2? I just tested with the built in sendgrid module on 2.2 and it works, but I'm a bad tester since I can't duplicate this.

Posted this as an issue here: ansible/ansible#19314

Bollocks! I just saw in the docs where the sendgrid version is flagged. Still it should be better handled than it is.
