[ansible-project] ansible gem not installing dependencies

[J Soetanto]

Hi there,

I tried to install fluentd elasticsearch plugin using ansible gem, however
for some reason the installation does not install the dependencies even
though i explicitly set to install dependencies

Background:

- ansible 1.7.1
- ubuntu 12.04
- elasticsearch installed separately
- install fluentd from tresuredata repo
- apt_key: url=http://packages.treasuredata.com/GPG-KEY-td-agent
state=present
- apt_repository: repo='deb
http://packages.treasuredata.com/2/ubuntu/precise/ precise contrib' state
=present
- apt: name=td-agent state=present force=yes

Trying the following code result with success, however the td-agent service
can't start because it is missing some dependencies

gem: name=fluent-plugin-elasticsearch state=present executable=/opt/td-agent
/embedded/bin/fluent-gem include_dependencies=yes

When starting the service ,receive error

fluent/supervisor.rb:257:rescue in main_process: config error file=
"/etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf" error="Unknown output plugin 'elasticsearch'.
Run 'gem search -rd fluent-plugin' to find plugins"

However if i execute it using standard command (below) , i don't encounter
the problem

command: /opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-
elasticsearch

How do i know it is missing dependencies? When i see the gem list under
td-agent directory (/opt/td-agent/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/) no
elasticsearch listed there when installing using "ansible gem" . if i try
to install elasticsearch using "ansible gem" it will complain it is missing
other fluentd plugins.

Is this problem with gem plugin ? or can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,

​Really weird, after tinkering i got it working by adding "user_install=no"
. The gem executable is slightly different

gem: name=fluent-plugin-elasticsearch state=present executable=/usr/sbin/td-
agent-gem user_install=no​

For some reason without user install option , i found that the gem was
installed under root home directory. Shouldn't by default it install it
system wide?

I would hope so, yes.

Perhaps this is something about that particular gem?

I just figured it out. The existence of /root/.gems that met the
dependencies of beanstalkd_view is what caused the issue. Gem thought the
dependencies were met eventhough they were not when it was installing
system wide in /var/lib/gems. I think the default for user_install should
be false (system wide should be the default). That is why I had packages
installed in root's home directory to begin with. Removing the directory
/root/.gems solved the problem.
