Hi,

It seems that since ansible 1.1, the setup module failed on old SLES 10 SP2 host.

I have the following traceback:

fatal: [myhost] =\> failed to parse:  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/user/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1368456661.8-263287084724264/setup”, line 2587, in ?

for folder in os.listdir(sysdir + “/holders”):  
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/sys/block/sdb/holders’

I tried debugging with the test-module but it fails with

$ test-module -m …/library/system/setup  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “./test-module”, line 36, in ?  
import ansible.utils as utils  
File “/home/user/ansible/lib/ansible/utils/ **init**.py”, line 695  
with warnings.catch\_warnings():

^  
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I also tested with the latest checkout and I have the same error…

Thanks for any help on this.

You need Python 2.6 in order to use the ./test-module script because it’s using Python 2.6 code in utils. That is expected.

Looks like we just need to modify the setup module to allow for that path to not exist, which is easy enough.

I thought so…

Should I file an issue ?
