Missing httpx module?

[virus2500]

Hi,

after upgrading the bot wasn't starting for me anymore.

I manually tried to start it and got

└─■ # /usr/sbin/runuser -l main -c 'cd /omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus && /omd/sites/main/bin/python3 /omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus/telegram_bot.py'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus/telegram_bot.py", line 15, in <module>
    from telegram import (
  File "/opt/omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus/telegram/__init__.py", line 285, in <module>
    from . import _version, constants, error, helpers, request, warnings
  File "/opt/omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus/telegram/request/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    from ._httpxrequest import HTTPXRequest
  File "/opt/omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus/telegram/request/_httpxrequest.py", line 23, in <module>
    import httpx
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'httpx'

I manually fixed it with

└─■ # pip3 install --target=/omd/sites/main/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus httpx --upgrade

I guess the httpx module is just missing in the ressources/requirements.txt.

Since i don't know if it needs a specific version i just created the issue instead of an pull request. For me it is working fine now

I think it depends on the exact checkmk version, in 90% of my test environments I had to remove httpx so that the bot accesses the httpx version of Checkmk/the host, but I couldn't find out exactly for which CheckMK versions this is the case... As of now, httpx is not installed / removed during installation as it was more successful in my tests.

If an exact version can be located when the httpx lib needs to be installed, I will update it accordingly. Until then I will leave this issue open so that other people like you may have a solution for that.

After upgrading CheckMk to its latest version and rebooting I noticed the Telegram Plus Agent was asking for an update as well :-)

But after the upgrade - TPA was unable to start and complained also about the missing httpx module. I did all the debuging stuff with no success and ended up removing and reinstalling it. Not even then TPA was unable to start.

What helped me was the following commands:

systemctl stop checkmk-telegram-plus-<omd_site_name> su - <omd_site_name> cd ~/local/share/checkmk-telegram-plus source ~/bin/activate pip install --target ~/local/lib/python3 httpx

I hope my information helps others who are facing the same problem.
