Ansible install error

[corus87]

Ansible does not get installed by easy_install.

error: Setup script exited with error: SandboxViolation: symlink('../release.py', 'build/lib/ansible/module_utils/ansible_release.py') {}

The package setup script has attempted to modify files on your system
that are not within the EasyInstall build area, and has been aborted.

This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not
support alternate installation locations even if you run its setup
script by hand.  Please inform the package's author and the EasyInstall
maintainers to find out if a fix or workaround is available.

Tested with a virtual env but if I remember correctly it also happen with a manual installation.

Fix: pip3 install ansible

This way will install the last version. Not sure if the api is still compatible with Kalliope. Not tested.

[corus87]

I guess you are talking about the python api? For installing our neurons?

[Sispheor]

Yes

[corus87]

Okay, I will take a look and make some tests.

It hangs on the dependency task but however it does install the neuron. I will take a look and try to fix it, so we can use the latest ansible.

I faced another issue when cloning the dev branch.

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "timeout waiting for privilege escalation password prompt:\n"}

But I think I fixed it, The dict key has changed to "vault_pass"

I'm only not sure about the warning, couldn't find much or in the ansible docs about it. Maybe there are related to my system locales.

[Sispheor]

So the last version is working? If yes we can set a new value as hard coded version with the current one you have. Maybe it will even fix the last PR.

[Sispheor]

You can try to build the docker image locally with the new version of Ansible. If it's ok locally you can at the change to your PR.

It seems to work, yes. I try to fix some other dependency errors now and make a PR which hopefully will give us a clean installation again.

Just an update... I still facing the install error

when running sudo python3 setup.py install on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation. I couldn't find much about it on google but it seems to be related to the setup.py dependencies installation method we use, when easy_install tries to install ansible-core. Installing everything with sudo pip3 install -r install/files/python_requirements.txt works without problems.

But I did found a similar error you @Sispheor already reported in the ansible repo.

Okay I found something, it seems to be related to only python3.8 which may explain why I never faced this issue on the raspberry.

[Sispheor]

Fixed in the last release
