I tried to use “sourced from a project” method, but im not able to see my inventory file. Could it be, that it does not work with a project, which is using manual source control? or is it overall bug ?

I use this method all the time now and it shows up. Have you updated the project, formatted correctly? ---

Hmm, i think so. I did try again and now im getting an error message - Cannot use manual project for SCM-based inventory. Any suggestions ? Maybe im still doing something wrong ? [weiye...@gmail.com](mailto:weiye...@gmail.com) kirjutas kolmapäev, 8. september 2021 kl 08:41:20 UTC+3: ---

So i did try to type manually inventory.ini file there and then i got that error. Should this inventory file come into the selection itself ?

As i understand, my project “Source Control Credential Type” must be something different, not manual yes ? Otherwise, it won’t work. Kimmo L. kirjutas kolmapäev, 8. september 2021 kl 09:52:21 UTC+3: ---

What’s your project where your source files are? Click on the magnifying glass and locate your project (or did you do that)? ---

Yeah sure. Rancher is essentially just a view into your kubernetes cluster. Just follow the instructions in awx. It will deploy into the kubernetes cluster. Once there and deployed and I want to upgrade I just use rancher to update the operator. Let me know if there is anything specific thst you are looking for. 😊
