Ansible.controller.import returns OK

Get Help

When running an import, I receive a response of OK, even if I changed the assets from an export.

# ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/import_workflow.yaml -vvv
---
- name: Import Workflow
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  collections:
    - ansible.controller
  environment:
     CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/
     CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user
     CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: redacted
     CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False
  tasks:
  - debug:
      msg: "Starting Import"
  - name: Import workflow job template
    ansible.controller.import:
      assets: "{{ lookup('file', 'workflow.yaml') | from_yaml }}"
    register: import_results
  - debug:
      msg: "{{ import_results }}"

Result:

    "msg": {

    }
}

Here’s what I used to get the values for the workflow.yaml file:

ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/export_job_templates.yaml -e "password=CHANGEME job_template=all" -vvv

     CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: "{{ password }}"
     CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False
  tasks:
  - debug:

  - name: Export workflow job template
    ansible.controller.export:
      job_templates: "{{ job_templates }}"
    register: export_results
  - debug:
      var: export_results
  - name: Export job template to file
    copy:
      content: "{{ export_results | to_nice_yaml( width=50, explicit_start=True, explicit_end=True) }}"
      dest: "workflow.yaml"

I am guessing you need to open a support request with Red Hat or test it against awx and the awx.awx collection :slight_smile:

Tried that. Red Hat said to use their collection. Same difference.
awx try:

---
- name: Export Job Templates
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  collections:
    - awx.awx
  environment:
     CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/
     CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user
     CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: 
     CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False
  tasks:
  - debug:
      msg: "Starting Export"
  - name: Export workflow job template
    awx.awx.export:
      job_templates: 'all'
    register: export_results
  - debug:
      var: export_results
  - name: Export workflow job template to file
    copy:
      content: "{{ export_results | to_nice_yaml( width=50, explicit_start=True, explicit_end=True) }}"
      dest: template.yaml

I had tried awx before:

But they said to post here. So since Red Hat’s been quite I thought I’d give this forum a try.
