aruba_module_installer.py fails to run on Ubuntu Server 19.04 about aruba-ansible-modules

[rajani-abraham]

OK, identified the issue. The script checks if Ansible version is 2.7.9 or less (line 142) as that was last tested version.

changing below line from
if '2.5' <= re_version <= '2.7.9':
to
if '2.5' <= re_version :
should work. Let me mark as bug and we will plan to fix.

Same failure occurs on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

I have the same issues. I have the impression that “aruba_module_installer.py” is not compatible with Ansible2.8.
You can use ansible 2.5 for install module (sudo apt-get install ansible=2.5.1+dfsg-1).

[rajani-abraham]

The script try to run 'ansible --version' to find the version. Does that work without 'sudo' for you in ubuntu?

Yes.

aruba@ansible2:~$ ansible --version
ansible 2.8.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/home/aruba/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) [GCC 7.3.0]
aruba@ansible2:~$

Edit: I think you mean, running the python script, also yes:

aruba@ansible2:/etc/ansible/aruba-ansible-modules/aruba_module_installer$ python aruba_module_installer.py
There was an issue finding your ansible version.
Please run 'ansible --version' from bash, resolve any errors, and verify version is release version 2.5 or later.

Update: Even if module installation for ansible 2.8 goes through, running playbooks using switch modules might run into issues. We are actively looking into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[rajani-abraham]

Update - Issue is with one of the Ansible 2.8 plugins. We are working with Ansible folks - ansible/ansible#57447 and following up with them. Meanwhile try to avoid Ansible 2.8 version for now.
We are still investigating to unblock with other options.

Fixed with latest commit f4a1406 . In regards to AOS-CX compatibility this is still under investigation and is being tracked by issue #25
