Possible Misunderstanding

Hi!

Thanks very much for your submission to Ansible. It sincerely means a lot to us.

We believe the ticket you have filed is being somewhat misunderstood, as one thing works a little differently than stated.

Ansible does not normally 'auto install' dependencies for modules, this is up to the user and reflected in module documentation.

In the future, this might be a topic more well suited for the user list, which you can also post here if you'd like some more help with the above.

Thank you once again for this and your interest in Ansible!

[snemir2]

all of the modules/dependencies for modules has been installed, as per the documentation. (i.e. azure module) -- yet still have this problem.

[snemir2]

i really feel this should be re-opened. All of the requirenements (azure pydhon sdk) have been installed, yet functionality claimed in the https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/guide_azure.html#dynamic-inventory-script section is not present. It most likely is a bug.

So azure_rm.py is not a library or module but an inventory script, those depend on the packaging used.

If using pip, for example does not install them and they need to be downloaded from github. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/contrib/inventory.

An rpm/deb install should locate them in /usr/share/ansible/contrib/, but that can vary depending on packager preferences.
