Hi, all! I’m trying to import: 117 from ansible.utils.display import Display in my new module, placed in lib/ansible/modules/database/postgresql/ But during tests and execution the following error occurred: Sanity check using import with Python 2.7 ERROR: Found 1 import issue(s) on python 2.7 which need to be resolved: ERROR: lib/ansible/modules/database/postgresql/postgresql\_ping.py:117:0: ImportError: No module named utils.display … Any ideas, why? This module successfully imported by the same line in lib/ansible/utils/display.py. I want to add it to display warnings in the shell. Maybe there is better way to do this. I’ll be grateful for any ideas, thank you! ---

Modules cannot import things from outside of `ansible.module_utils`. As such you cannot use `Display` in a module. In addition to that, a module may only output JSON at the end of the execution, via `module.fail_json` or `module.exit_json` You can however use `module.warn` to send back warnings that will be displayed to the user. ---

Hello, module.warn() works great. Thank you! вт, 29 янв. 2019 г. в 17:39, Matt Martz \<[matt@sivel.net](mailto:matt@sivel.net)\>:
