Hey all,

I’ve been debugging this weird issue with awx recently. It looks related to these issues but they contain no resolution and one pointed me here:

[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/56543](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/56543)  
[https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/7453](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/7453)

When awx goes to spawn the playbook on the instance group container, it says this error message:

^\nSyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal\ncommand terminated with exit code 1\n", “module\_stdout”: “”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error”, “rc”: 1}

The interesting part is that this occasionally works but most of the time fails with that error. I have scaled everything down to a single awx and am running the most basic playbook that just uses debug and has no credentials. Does anyone know where I can start to look into this?
