SUMMARY

I am running AWX Docker setup and I just try to run a simple playbook: https://galaxy.ansible.com/dapiced/patch_update_yum/patch_update_yum

Which from the command line it runs perfectly, it does what it should, but when running it from a project within AWX it does not run.

ENVIRONMENT- AWX version: 6.1.0.0
  • AWX install method: docker on linux
  • Ansible version: 2.8.2
  • Operating System: Red Hat 7.6
  • Web Browser: Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (64-bit)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE1. Setup a new playbook within: /var/lib/awx/projects/
  1. Setup Inventory and Project to run the playbook
  2. Run the playbook
EXPECTED RESULTS

Hi Angel,

I run the playbook manually, like:

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml

PLAY [Run patching operation tasks] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [sec_patch : Package update] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [hostname-rhel73]

RUNNING HANDLER [sec_patch : Server reboot if needed] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [hostname-rhel73]

PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
hostname-rhel73 : ok=2 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=0

Hi:

I’ve reproduced your playbook and role, both manually and through AWX, it works pretty fine. The only strange thing I’ve noticed in your job template definition is the use of rhel_sec_yum tag, which isn’t present on your playbook. If I put such tag or any other one, then job template does nothing, as it’s happening to you.

Remove that tag from your job template and try again, it should work.

Thanks, a lot Angel, I was not aware of that.
