GAiA API failing to install with Ansible

Hi all,

I have the following task in my ansible playbook for installing the GAiA API (version 1.3) on my gateways and SMS:

- name: Install gaia_api

shell: ./install_gaia_api.sh

args:

chdir: /home/admin/gaia_api

- name: Output

debug:

var: output.stdout_lines

When I'm running the playbook on my gateways (reimaged with blink_image_1.1_Check_Point_R80.30_Gateway.tgz) and SMS (reimaged with blink_image_1.1_Check_Point_R80.30_Management.tgz), I'm getting the following output after performing a 'gaia_api status' on the gateways, but on the SMS everything seems to be working fine:

[Expert@GW1:0]# gaia_api status
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/rest_api/ckp/client_util/serverStatusPrinter.py", line 2, in <module>

from flaskApi import getRequestHeader
File "/rest_api/libs/flaskApi.py", line 12, in <module>
from flask import *
ImportError: No module named flask

I've checked the Ansible output and even though it says the installation completed successfully it's still giving me the output errors when running gaia_api status. But when I manually run the install_gaia_api.sh script it seems to be working.

ok: [GW1] => {
"output.stdout_lines": [
"Starting gaia_api installation",
"Old version removed successfully",
"Installing gaia_api...",
"Successfully installed gaia_api, use \"gaia_api status\" to monitor the state"
]
}

I have my Python interpreter set as: ansible_python_interpreter="/opt/CPsuite-R8*/fw1/Python/bin/python"
Remarkably, when I use ansible_python_interpreter=python, I'm getting the following error on the gateways (not on the SMS):

fatal: [GW2]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Shared connection to 10.23.112.102 closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "/bin/sh: python: command not found\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc":

Which makes me think it's a Python issue.

Any suggestions? I'd appreciate some input.

@Amiad_Stern what say you?

It seemed like the post rpm install scripts were not executing after the task. The fix was to add pipelining=true inside the ansible.cfg file.

Tested on a clean installation of Gaia 80.10 and 80.30
