Failing at the check users step

[maxpearl]

I've got a very simple test setup, and I'm getting this error:

TASK [ANXS.postgresql : PostgreSQL | Make sure the PostgreSQL users are present] *** fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"censored": "the output has been hidden due to the fact that 'no_log: true' was specified for this result"}

This is on a vagrant debian stretch virtualbox

The user and database in vars don't get created.

Here's the playbook:

---
- hosts: all
  remote_user: root
  become: yes
  vars_files:
  - ./vars.yml
  roles:
  - { role: ANXS.postgresql, no_log: False }

And here are the vars:

postgresql_version: 9.6
postgresql_port: 5432

postgresql_databases:
  - name: testing
    owner: test

postgresql_users:
  - name: test

Also tried with postgresql 11, same error.

My guess is that you need to have the pip package psycopg2 installed to be able to create users, as documented here. I did this through a pre_task:

- hosts: db
  become: yes

  pre_tasks:
    - name: Install psycopg2 for ansible to be able to create postgresql users
      pip: name=psycopg2-binary
      become: yes

  roles:
    - { role: ANXS.postgresql }

I installed psycopg2 using Debian's python-psycopg2 package in a pre-task. So perhaps the pip installation would be preferable. But in either event (a missing psycopg2 package, or one that doesn't match what's required) should throw a more specific error, no?

This worked for me, I just added the install pip3 task:

  pre_tasks:
    - name: install pip3
      become: yes
      apt: name=python3-pip state=present update_cache=true
    - name: Install psycopg2 for ansible to be able to create postgresql users
      become: yes
      pip: name=psycopg2-binary

EDIT: I'm using vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64, which resolves to Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-117-generic x86_64).

issue still persists after pre_tasks set to the above

make sure you have ACL package installed
