Hi all! I’m trying to run a role in an AWX project, but every time it says it can’t find the role. There is a /roles/requirements.yml folder, the contents are: — roles: -name: freeipa.ansible\_freeipa.ipaclient The same was done with collections, but every time an error: ERROR! the role ‘freeipa.ansible\_freeipa.ipaclient’ was not found in freeipa.ansible\_freeipa:ansible.legacy:/runner/project/roles:/runner/requirements\_roles:/runner/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles: /etc/ansible/roles:/runner/project Works only if the folder with the role is added to the project

Hi,

Are you able to provide the collection/requirements.yml to your project? If you’re using a fully qualified collection name you will want to install the collection.

Thanks,

are you putting that in this file collection/requirements.yml? collections need to be specified in that particular requirements file (not the roles/requirements.yml file)

also can you provide the stdout of the project sync?

Thank you,
