I am running AWX inside of some docker containers and can’t get the project\_update job to install roles from my requirements.yml file.

false  
. It successfully finds the file, but, for some reason, scm\_full\_checkout is always set to false.

I modified /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/playbooks/project\_update.yml to add this:

> - name: detect requirements.yml
> 
> stat: path={{project\_path|quote}}/roles/requirements.yml
> 
> register: doesRequirementsExist
> 
> **+ - name: show me stat**
> 
> **+ debug:**
> 
> **+ msg: “{{ doesRequirementsExist }}”**
> 
> **+**
> 
> **+ - name: show me scm\_full\_checkout**
> 
> **+ debug:**
> 
> **+ msg: “{{ scm\_full\_checkout }}”**
> 
> - name: fetch galaxy roles from requirements.yml
> 
> command: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p {{project\_path|quote}}/roles/ --force
> 
> args:
> 
> chdir: “{{project\_path|quote}}/roles”
> 
> when: doesRequirementsExist.stat.exists and scm\_full\_checkout|bool

Which results in the following displayed in the job output (I removed most of the file stats for brevity):

> TASK [detect requirements.yml] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> ok: [localhost]
> 
> TASK [show me stat] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> ok: [localhost] =\> {
> 
> “msg”: {
> 
> “changed”: false,
> 
> “failed”: false,
> 
> “ **stat** ”: {
> 
> “atime”: 1505851374.0,
> 
> “executable”: false,
> 
> **“exists”: true** ,
> 
> “gid”: 0,
> 
> “gr\_name”: “root”,
> 
> “mode”: “0644”,
> 
> “readable”: true,
> 
> “writeable”: true
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> }
> 
> TASK [show me **scm\_full\_checkout**] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> ok: [localhost] =\> {
> 
> “msg”: **false**
> 
> }
> 
> TASK [fetch galaxy roles from requirements.yml] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> **skipping** : [localhost]

I’ve tried every option I can find for defining the project and in every case, scm\_full\_checkout is _always_ false!

Any ideas how I can get this to work?

thanks,
