"ImportError: No module named fields" when install

[iiro]

Hi,

suddenly the cookbook started giving this kind of error when running:

     * execute[python manage.py syncdb --noinput] action run

       ================================================================================
       Error executing action `run` on resource 'execute[python manage.py syncdb --noinput]'
       ================================================================================

       Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed
       ------------------------------------
       Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
   ---- Begin output of python manage.py syncdb --noinput ----
       STDOUT: 
       STDERR: ImportError: No module named fields
       ---- End output of python manage.py syncdb --noinput ----
       Ran python manage.py syncdb --noinput returned 1

I tried to run the command by hand and I can get:

/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite# python manage.py syncdb --noinput
ImportError: No module named fields

Cookbook version is 1.0.2 and OS is Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have an older setup which was previously installed fine; just did a quick pip- check; the old setup has django-tagging (0.3.6) but the new - broken one - has django-tagging (0.4)...

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-tagging - django-tagging 0.4 requires newer django and we still have 1.5.5 on the setup...

We just ran into the same issue. CentOS 6.6, cookbook version 1.0.2.

I got around this temporarily reopening the resource in the recipe for my wrapper cookbook (simplified below):

r = resources(python_pip: 'django-tagging')
r.action :install
r.version "0.3.6"

and it's able to complete the syncdb operation. Hopefully someone finds it a helpful starting point until the issue is resolved upstream.

Temporary solution in Chef,

python_pip "django-tagging" do
  version "0.3.6"
end

Or manually,

pip install django-tagging==0.3.6

[rambler]

This is an issue here as well, on Ubuntu 14.04.

@bobhlo: The chef solution above didn't work for me but the manual one did. Thanks!

[mblankleder]

@rambler just put
include_recipe 'python::pip'

before

python_pip "django-tagging" do
    version "0.3.6"
end

[bobhlo]

@rambler, may need to remove newer version before applying old one

python_pip "django-tagging" do
  action :remove
end
python_pip "django-tagging" do
  version "0.3.6"
end

+1 - any chance of this being fixed?

[slyness]

Yes. I have also encountered and verified the suggested solution. We will try and get this fixed and release soon.

[jblaine]

Friendly reminder that over 4 months have passed.

[rbrasga]

@bobhlo - "pip install django-tagging==0.3.6"

Thank you for the manual fix. It worked for me.
