COIBot fails to run on tools-exec-08 because of missing perl-modules (the first it encounters is WWW::Mechanize, but likely the others are missing as well). It has always been running fine on earlier instances, in fact, manually running it on tools-exec-01 does not result in any errors. Can the tools-exec-## instances please be made all exactly the same so that in case a bot restarts on another instance it does run smoothly? Thanks. Dirk Beetstra
Can you tell me what modules exactly you require so I can add them to puppet?
I will try to make a list (though, with dependencies .. ). However, I am not the only one running perl-bots, and I presume there are others. Also, does this have to be repeated when tools-exec-09 is spawned? Is it not easier to have them all the same as the 01 or 02 (COIBot is running on 02 at the moment ..). Also, I presume that for others running bots in other frameworks, similar situations exist.
The problem currently seems to be that some packages were manually apt-get installed on the exec hosts, thus causing problems when new exec nodes are spawned. The 'canonical' way to add packages is to make a patch to the operations/puppet.git repository, listing the name of the package - thus it gets installed on every exec node, present and future. Solution to this problem is to make sure that all such installs go through puppet, and not through 'ad-hoc' apt-gets.
Until we get a list of missing modules, there is no way to know what to update. (Hint: dependencies are tracked automatically, we only need the list of directly used modules). Closing as WFM; feel free to reopen with a list of modules.
Finally have some time to work on this - these are the modules my bots use: BSD::Resource; Data::Dumper; Date::Parse qw(str2time); Date::Parse; DBI; DBI; Encode qw(encode_utf8); Encode; HTML::Entities; HTTP::Status; List::Util qw(shuffle); LWP::UserAgent; POE qw (Component::Client::TCP); POE qw(Component::IRC Component::IRC::Plugin::BotAddressed Component::Client::TCP); POE qw(Component::Server::TCP); POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::BotAddressed; POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector; POE::Component::IRC::State; POE::Component::Server::TCP; POE; Socket; strict; URI::Escape qw( uri_escape_utf8 ); URI::Escape qw(uri_escape_utf8); URI::Escape; utf8; warnings qw(all); warnings; XML::Simple;
All those modules are installed on development and execution hosts. What do you miss?
(In reply to comment #6) > All those modules are installed on development and execution hosts. What do > you miss? I'm sorry, I should have waited for the query to finish. BSD::Resource isn't installed on tools-exec-07, tools-exec-08 and tools-exec-09.
Heh. I only know that the bots tend to crash on some exec-instances, especially the 07, 08, 09 - this bug report / list is mainly to make sure that all are now the same.
