AWX Jobs stuck pending after upgrade to 2.19.1 / v24.6.1

I updated by the usual process with awx-operator. Seemed to complete but jobs do not start. Just stay pending. I see this in the logs on the task container.

Hi @trippinnik

EDIT: Sorry I see you’re using 24.6.1 from the title.

I think based on line:

 File "/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/awx/main/utils/pglock.py", line 19, in advisory_lock
    idle_session_timeout = cur.execute('SHOW idle_session_timeout').fetchone()[0]

This looks to be related to: Add TASK_MANAGER_LOCK_TIMEOUT by TheRealHaoLiu · Pull Request #15300 · ansible/awx (github.com)? :thinking:

cc @TheRealHaoLiu

So it’s not included yet? How do i get it working?

Based on ‘SHOW idle_session_timeout’ this is a postgres query. This parameter was added to Postgres 14, so if you’re still on 13, you probably need to upgrade Postgres.

I upgraded Postgres to 15.8 and now I get:

Also I don’t see anything in release notes about change in Postgres version requirements.

Sorry can’t help you with that error.
But see Database Configuration - Ansible AWX Operator Documentation for the database requirement.

Hi Nik !

Just got the same stacktrace, while upgrading AWX to 24.6.1 on PG 15.10 : did you find a solution ? :crossed_fingers:

Some explanations are available in the following issue :

AWX task error: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: trailing junk after numeric literal at or near 10m, LINE 1: SET idle_in_transaction_session_timeout = 500s · Issue #15406 · ansible/awx

Ok, will be fixed in the upcoming release.

More info :

Ok, will be fixed in the upcoming release.

Just curious, as AWX is not doing releases, what exactly does upcoming release mean?
