hello!

I dug a bit in the code and found this edge case for collection `awx.awx.inventory`  
The function `make_request` is used for creating new/updating awx resource AND also used for retrieving existing associations.

So, when a new resource is created and has associations with it, the code will check for existing associations and it will exit right away if it gets a 404 because the self.fail\_json() is called when a 404 is received. [awx/awx\_collection/plugins/module\_utils/controller\_api.py at a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5/awx_collection/plugins/module_utils/controller_api.py#L534)

For example, when I create a new constructed inventory,

- It first makes a POST to create the constructed inventory
- Makes a get request to retrieve all endpoints (existing associations)  
Fails with error below

“msg”: “The requested object could not be found at /api/v2/constructed\_inventories/24/input\_inventories/”

args used below: (with AWX → UI version=22.0.0, Operator=2.0.0)

```auto
{
    "ANSIBLE_MODULE_ARGS": {
        "_ansible_check_mode": false,
        "_ansible_debug": false,
        "_ansible_diff": false,

        "controller_host": "REDACTED",
        "input_inventories": [
            "REDACTED"
        ],
        "organization": "REDACTED",
        "kind": "constructed",
        "name": "REDACTED",        
        "controller_username": "REDACTED",        
        "controller_password": "REDACTED"
    }
}

```

OR

Maybe the edge case is that builds the url wrong when retrieving the existing associations for a constructed inventory. When I reverse engineer the api call from the UI, it makes a POST request to  
https://.com/api/v2/inventories/24/input\_inventories/  
NOT  
https://.com/api/v2/constructed\_inventories/24/input\_inventories/

Can someone help me with this please with a course of action to take?

Did the inventory ID change or have a mismatch? Or did you typo 21/24? From what I can tell, all inventories, constructed or not, appear in the inventories api endpoint. However, only constructed inventories will have `inventories/<id>/input_inventories`. Since you’re getting a 404 at that endpoint, I would think that the inventory name to id resolver found an existing regular or smart inventory by that name instead of updating or creating a constructed inventory.

</div>

hello Caleb, sorry this ID was a typo ( as i was building and deleting inventories a few time for testing, must have miscopied)

Checking further in the code: [awx/awx\_collection/plugins/module\_utils/controller\_api.py at a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5/awx_collection/plugins/module_utils/controller_api.py#L832)  
, I think its because AWX return the `item_url` for constructed inventories as `/api/v2/constructed_inventories/<id>` which is used here: [awx/awx\_collection/plugins/module\_utils/controller\_api.py at a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/a70b0c1ddc35a03701372d0a921fba5bb14264f5/awx_collection/plugins/module_utils/controller_api.py#L845)

so when it tries to get all endpoints for `input_inventories` with the URL built wrong it will throw the 404:  
code at L718 ( i can’t add more than two links per post)

ah thanks for confirming `inventories/<id>/input_inventories`  
so the url is indeed built wrong for constructed inventories when adding `input_inventories` to `constructed_inventories`

for reference this is the call with the data

```auto
'https://<REDACTED>.com/api/v2/inventories/'
'{"name": "REDACTED", "organization": 2, "kind": "constructed", "host_filter": null, "input_inventories": [2]}'

```

And you’re certain that the inventory “name” doesn’t match an existing inventory of a different “kind”? (normal or smart inventories)

yes, it doesn’t match an existing inventory of a different kind

</div>

I’ll see if I can try and reproduce this later this week. The 404 for the constructed\_inventory endpoint makes me think there’s a problem with the name-to-id resolver or that the inventory kind isn’t defined properly when the constructed inventory is created.

</div>

i’ve pinpoint the issue in a few code snippets with the issue that I linked.  
tldr  
1- it returns the url `constructed_inventories/<id>` after the inventory is created  
2- when it checks for associations in this case the input\_inventories, it uses the url above to build the irl, so you get `<awx-endpoint>.com/api/v2/constructed_inventories/<id>/input_inventories` instead of `<awx-endpoint>.com/api/v2/inventories/<id>/input_inventories`

</div>

But both of those should be valid for a constructed inventory…

Edit: OH… I see where I’m getting confused. Both the `inventories/<ID>` and `constructed_inventories/<ID>` mention `inventories/<id>/input_inventories` in the related objects, but there is no `constructed_inventories/<id>/input_inventories` endpoint specifically. Which makes me wonder why the `constructed_inventories` exists at all.

I think your bug was already identified and fixed in AWX 22.1.0. Please upgrade and try again.

</div>

that’s actually contributing to the bug [Only use constr. inv URL when req comes from it by relrod · Pull Request #13797 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/13797/files)  
what this PR does for version AWX 22.1.0 is returning `construced_inventories/<id>` in the response instead of `inventories/<id>` as the URL

but the issue is not with awx itself. It is with the ansible module using that `construced_inventories/<id>` url that is returned in the response for querying the input\_inventories which only exists under `inventories/<id>/input_inventories` and not `construced_inventories/<id>/input_inventories`

Prior to the change, the API _always_ returns the constructed\_inventories prefix for `kind=="constructed"`, which is what you’re seeing. That PR changes it to match the request, so when you’re posting the constructed inventory to `inventories` , the API won’t redirect you unexpectedly to `constructed_inventories`.

I think that should solve it because I cannot replicate your issue on 24.6.0.

```yaml
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    awx_username: redacted
    awx_password: redacted
    awx_host: redacted
  tasks:
    - awx.awx.inventory:
        controller_host: "https://{{ awx_host }}"
        controller_username: "{{ awx_username }}"
        controller_password: "{{ awx_password }}"
        name: foobar
        organization: Linux
        kind: constructed
        input_inventories:
          - Inventory

```

```auto
PLAY [localhost] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
