I’m using hashi_vault to retrieve secrets from HashiCorp’s vault in ansible playbook.

`

tags:

  • vault
    `

command i’m using to run pl is ansible-playbook -v plybook.yml --tags vault

I’m getting following error:
fatal: [server_addr]: FAILED! => { "msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'hashi_vault'. Error was a <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>, original message: 'Response' object has no attribute '__getitem__'" }

Have you installed pip hashi vault module . I think you have to install the pip module for this connection. Check in hashi vault module page in official ansible document . In first few line you can see the requirements. Fix that it will work .

I’m refering to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/lookup/hashi_vault.html document. It requires hvac (python library). and i have already installed it. Im trying connect by github token.
