When I try to use 1.9.2-rc2 ` ansible❯ source ~/si/ansible/hacking/env-setup ops/git/master !+ examine files in directory /Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/lib/ansible.egg-info? running egg\_info writing requirements to lib/ansible.egg-info/requires.txt writing lib/ansible.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing top-level names to lib/ansible.egg-info/top\_level.txt writing dependency\_links to lib/ansible.egg-info/dependency\_links.txt reading manifest file ‘lib/ansible.egg-info/SOURCES.txt’ reading manifest template ‘MANIFEST.in’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘v2’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘docsite’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘ticket\_stubs’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘test’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘hacking’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘lib/ansible/modules/core/.git’ no previously-included directories found matching ‘lib/ansible/modules/extras/.git’ writing manifest file ‘lib/ansible.egg-info/SOURCES.txt’ Setting up Ansible to run out of checkout… PATH=/Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/bin:/opt/chefdk/bin:/Users/bkaplan/tools/packer:/Users/bkaplan/tools/terraform:/Users/bkaplan/.rbenv/shims:/Users/bkaplan/.rbenv/bin:/Users/bkaplan/.npm/bin:./node\_modules/.bin:/Users/bkaplan/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/git/bin PYTHONPATH=/Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/lib:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages MANPATH=/Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/docs/man: Remember, you may wish to specify your host file with -i Done! ` Seems installed ok `ansible❯ ansible --version ops/git/master !+ ansible 1.9.2 (detached HEAD 9bf06bfe84) last updated 2015/06/23 16:10:17 (GMT +550) lib/ansible/modules/core: not found - use git submodule update --init lib/ansible/modules/core lib/ansible/modules/extras: not found - use git submodule update --init lib/ansible/modules/extras v2/ansible/modules/core: not found - use git submodule update --init v2/ansible/modules/core v2/ansible/modules/extras: not found - use git submodule update --init v2/ansible/modules/extras configured module search path = modules` But whenever I try to run I get `ansible❯ ansible-playbook -i inventory/aws/production playbooks/provision/aws/mesos-cluster.yml ops/git/master !+ ERROR: ec2_group is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler` Well, really no modules work. `ansible❯ echo $PYTHONPATH /Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/lib:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages` I can override PYTHONPATH to just ` ansible❯ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages ` But then of course I’m back to 1.9.1 I had this same problem in 1.9.2-rc1 but simply setting PYTHONPATH seemed to work. I never figured out what was going. But now I am fully blocked (with 1.9.2 that is). ---

Did you run git submodule update Otherwise I guess the modules might not be available? Hope that helps, Jon ---

Ok, if you ever get these kinds of errors, the fix is easy. When you clone ansible don’t forget the --recursive! ---

Seems that (after making sure the submodules are pulled) that there is another problem I am seeing. After source …hack… my PYTHON path is setup as: “/Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/lib:” Hence the reason why modules like sys are not found. If I manually change it to: “/Users/bkaplan/si/ansible/lib:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages” all is well. Does anybody know how that is env is formed? What is hack looking for that should go after ‘:’ ?
