'FAILED! => {"msg": "winrm or requests is not installed: No module named 'winrm'"}

I am working on ansible and windows vm(windows server 2019) and getting the error above. I have added python3 -m pip install --user --ignore-installed pywinrm in the yml steps too.

** - script: | echo Installing $(caCertificate.secureFilePath) to the trusted CA directory... chown root:root $(caCertificate.secureFilePath) chmod a+r $(caCertificate.secureFilePath) python3 -m pip install testresources python3 -m pip install --user --ignore-installed pywinrm **

error log: TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************* fatal: [host1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "winrm or requests is not installed: No module named 'winrm'"}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* host1 : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

##[error]Command ansible-playbook -i /home/vsts/work/1/s/inventories/production/windows_hosts /home/vsts/work/1/s/site.yml exited with code 2. Finishing: Ansible

Can you please run ansible --version. The last line should confirm if you are using Python 2 or Python 3, ie:

  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.7.17 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:07:09) [GCC 9.2.1 20191008]

Can you confirm that you've run pip3 on the same machine you are running ansible-controller

So in my case I'd need to use pip2
