Cassandra Version: 5.0.3
community.cassandra version: 1.4.0
OS: ubuntu 24.04
ansible [core 2.18.3]

I just tried to setup a new user but it failed with the error above. Ansible code looks like this:

  tasks:
    - name: Create user zoneFileIngestion
      community.cassandra.cassandra_role:
        name: user
        password: "{{ cassandra_user_password }}"
        update_password: true
        state: present
        login: yes
        login_user: cassandra
        login_password: "{{ cassandra_superuser_password}}"
        consistency_level: LOCAL_ONE
        permissions:
          testkeyspace:
            - "ALL PERMISSIONS"

I tried to set consistency_level explicit or don't set it (so use default), but nothing works for me.

What's the version of the cassandra Python driver you have installed?

[discostur]

@rhysmeister to be honest i didn't know that i have to install the driver first ... didn't read that step in the documentation :/

anyway, it works now; thanks for your help ;)

python3 -m venv venv-cassandra
source venv-cassandra/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install cassandra-driver

-> set python interpretor in ansible, for example:

  vars:
    ansible_python_interpreter: /path_to_venv/venv-cassandra/bin/python

Hi @discostur, I'll reopen this as a bug. This can be handled much better than it is now. We should at least make it more ob
vious what the problem is.

Cheers,

Rhys
