Default ansible modules not working- Mail, Rsync, visudo,… - I was using docker based AWX ansible earlier and able to execute all default Ansible modules and we recently migrated to kubectl based AWX ansible [with reference of [GitHub - kurokobo/awx-on-k3s: An example implementation of AWX on single node K3s using AWX Operator, with easy-to-use simplified configuration with ownership of data and passwords.](https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s)] and now default Ansible modules not working and showing error. - kubectl version Client Version: v1.29.6+k3s2 Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3 Server Version: v1.29.6+k3s2 AWX 24.6.1 - logs ```auto **ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'mail'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.** 17 18 The error appears to be in '/runner/project/playbook.yml': line 37, column 7, but may 19 be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. 20 21 The offending line appears to be: 22 23 24 - name: Send report "{{ outputpath }}" to the mail id "{{ mail_id }}" 25 ^ here 26 We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with 27 missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they 28 start a value. For instance: 29 30 with_items: 31 - {{ foo }} 32 33 Should be written as: 34 35 with_items: 36 - "{{ foo }}" ``` ```auto - code - name: Send report "{{ outputpath }}" to the mail id "{{ mail_id }}" mail: host: mailserver.com port: 25 subject: EXP.O NOW facts.d Report body: Hello, Attached is the server Facts.d Report per your request.

Hi Vinoth, That looks like “mail” is part of community.general (please let me know if you’re using a different collection) so I’m seeing a couple of potential issues: - The current version of the AWX EE doesn’t seem to contain community.general. In this case, you would either need to use an EE that has that included or build a new EE using ansible-builder. You can use the AWX EE as a base then just extend it with additional collections. There is probably one already available on Dockerhub or Quay that has the collection but building one from scratch is good experience if you haven’t it before. - I also noticed you’re using the shortened module name (“mail” instead of “community.general.mail”). This is something I do as well to increase readability but you need the collections keyword at the top with a list of collections to include in the playbook. Ignore this if you already have it, just didn’t see it in the code snip [Using collections in a playbook — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_using_playbooks.html#simplifying-module-names-with-the-collections-keyword) Best regards, Joe ---

Thank you @iwt-cmd Joe, It seems “community.general” has not installed, **could you please share the steps to install it.** Regarding mail module, i have also tried “community.general.mail” option but still same error. ```auto podman run -it quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:24.6.1 ansible-galaxy collection list # /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections Collection Version ----------------------- ------- amazon.aws 8.0.1 ansible.posix 1.5.4 ansible.windows 2.4.0 awx.awx 24.6.0 azure.azcollection 2.6.0 community.vmware 4.4.0 google.cloud 1.3.0 kubernetes.core 4.0.0 kubevirt.core 1.4.0 openstack.cloud 2.2.0 ovirt.ovirt 3.2.0 redhatinsights.insights 1.2.2 theforeman.foreman 4.0.0 ``` ---

> [@vinothravindhran](#): > > It seems “community.general” has not installed, **could you please share the steps to install it.** It depends on how you want to achieve the result. `community.general` is not present in `quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:24.6.1`, so I think you have two possible solutions: 1. **Easy way.** 2. **Advanced way.** ---

Thank you @NomakCooper I have tried first way, created requirements.yml file under gitlab project folder of collection folder and added necessary entry but still community.general has not added in AWX EE. Screen shot has attached. And tried to run AWX job again but still getting same mail module missing error. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/0/0d89ebe6f2b9461613526d1cd5a18cb9843d2c90.png) ---

I correctly use the `requirements.yml` file in my project on my AWX work environment; please check that the AWX project is properly updated with the GitLab project. Suggestions: - Blank lines are allowed, but it’s better to remove them, you never know. - Always use the full module syntax, such as **`community.general.mail`**. - Try checking with a playbook by running a task with `delegate_to` `localhost` to verify the list of installed collections. > [@vinothravindhran](#): > > I have also tried to create New custom Execution Environment using Ansible-builder by referring below link. but i am getting below error, could you please check and help on this. > > server default python version is 3.9 but i tried to install with 3.11 but still getting error.

+1 for @NomakCooper After your `collections/requirements.yml` is added to your project, **you have to sync your project** in AWX, since the installation of the specified collections is one of the steps of updating your project. Then refer to the logs of the job to update your project to see if the collections are installed for your project. ---

> [@vinothravindhran](#): > > While sync my project in AWX, i got below error, i will check and update here. It appears that your environment cannot reach the Ansible Galaxy servers, and for this reason, the installation and sync of the project are not being performed. If you are unable to reach the Galaxy servers for the installation process, you can try using the tarball archive: - Manually download the version you are interested in from [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/general/). - Upload the tarball into the **`collections`** directory. - Change the **`requirements.yml`** file to this: Perhaps this could work. ---
