Deploy error: The error was: AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

[benzin1984]

While deploying to Azure, got this error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

The deployment env is Win10 running Ubuntu WSL2.

It looks like the python 3.8 may be using a depricated library for key generation. This here may describe the issue:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58569361/attributeerror-module-time-has-no-attribute-clock-in-python-3-8

I tried to install PyCryptoDome and remove Cryptography, but Cryptography gets re-installed at runtime of ./algo.

Thanks guys!

I think the problem is in this file:

algo/roles/cloud-azure/tasks/venv.yml

The version of azure-cli-core is too old. So this line has to change:
- azure-cli-core==2.0.35

I've changed it to this, and the deploy worked:
- azure-cli-core==2.12.0

Hope this helps... I could do a pull request I guess?

This should probably mirror the official Ansible collection for azure, rather than just trying to update random modules until it works: https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/blob/dev/requirements-azure.txt

(It seems likely this is where the list came from in the first place)

EDIT: Tested this, and unfortunately the update to azure-mgmt-resource breaks the ansible module, so that change should probably not be added. But at least aligning to azure-cli-core==2.11.1 probably makes sense.

Still hitting this issue today. Has this not been addressed in master yet? I'll try the tip above in the meantime.

This issue still persists running Python 3.8.2 trying to connect to Azure. Neither changing azure-cli-core to 2.12.0 or 2.11.1 works.

So i updated the algo/roles/cloud-azure/tasks/venv.yml file with the following values:
- azure-cli-core==2.24.2
- msrestazure==0.6.3

I am running az core version 2.24.2, you can check it with az --version.

Also in my case i had to refresh the azure toke running az login. Then i executed the ./algo command and it worked!
