ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.storage.cloudstorageaccount'

I'm always getting this error when I'm trying to integrate Ansible with Azure: File "/tmp/ansible_azure_rm_resourcegroup_payload_qkhbne1k/ansible_azure_rm_resourcegroup_payload.zip/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection/plugins/module_utils/azure_rm_common.py", line 249, in from azure.storage.cloudstorageaccount import CloudStorageAccount ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.storage.cloudstorageaccount' fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => { "changed": false, "invocation": { "module_args": { "ad_user": null, "adfs_authority_url": null, "api_profile": "latest", "append_tags": true, "auth_source": "auto", "cert_validation_mode": null, "client_id": null, "cloud_environment": "AzureCloud", "force_delete_nonempty": false, "location": "eastus", "log_mode": null, "log_path": null, "name": "myResourceGroup", "password": null, "profile": null, "secret": null, "state": "present", "subscription_id": null, "tags": null, "tenant": null } }, "msg": "Failed to import the required Python library (ansible[azure] (azure >= 2.0.0)) on vmi576440.contaboserver.net's Python /home/yf/miniconda3/bin/python.

same issue and it can repro with a simple scenario running in cloud shell. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/ansible/getting-started-cloud-shell?tabs=ansible

I was hitting the same issue. It seems to be because I had the wrong version of azure-storage or azure-storage-common installed.

The Azure collection docs say that you have to use pip to install the included requirements-azure.txt file:

Install dependencies required by the collection (adjust path to collection if necessary): pip install -r ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection/requirements-azure.txt

The latest version at time of writing is 1.13.0, which includes this requirements file: https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/blob/v1.13.0/requirements-azure.txt

Weirdly azure-storage is the same version as in your requirements.txt, though perhaps the issue is azure-mgmt-storage, which is 19.0.0 instead of the 3.1.0 you are using? Or maybe you aren't using version 1.13.0 of the collection?

For me clearing out all the pip packages in my venv and then installing the ones from the collections requirements-azure.txt fixed the issue.
