**Unusual behavior with custom EE**. Dear Community, As part of AWX to gcloud connectivity I have built an image which has gcloud utility and set the PATH for the same. Below lines are responsible for the same in my dockerfile. ```auto RUN curl -O https://XXX.io/artifactory/ansible-store/google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ tar -xzf google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --quiet && \ rm google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz # Add gcloud to PATH for all users ENV PATH="/runner/google-cloud-sdk/bin:${PATH}" ``` The image build is successful and I have created a pod using the same and I can use gcloud commands there. For example ```auto [root@test-connectivity-us runner] gcloud auth list --filter=status:ACTIVE --format="value(account)" XXXXs-gke-gl-1.svc.id.goog [root@test-connectivity-us runner]# ``` But when I use this image path in the custom execution environment, and in the playbook output it says > /bin/sh: line 1: gcloud: command not found And hence I tried to find the directory during the execution Can you please help me to understand what is happening here ? Thanks and Regards Saravana Selvaraj ---

@kurokobo , please have a look if you know how to fix this issue. ---

can you gather facts in the EE and show the output of `ansible_env`? ---

Sure @bcoca I am checking that, Meanwhile in my awx-ee container which is running in awx-task has this entry Exceeded retries for reading stdout ```auto ERROR 2025/04/24 17:12:54 Exceeded retries for reading stdout /tmp/receptor/awx-task-5b5697bf6d-42zp2/awxtask5b5697bf6d42zp2bDtH0JID/stdout WARNING 2025/04/24 17:12:54 Could not read in control service: read unix /var/run/receptor/receptor.sock->@: use of closed network connection WARNING 2025/04/24 17:12:54 Could not close connection: close unix /var/run/receptor/receptor.sock->@: use of closed network connection ``` ---

```auto "PATH": "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" ``` The path is not set to include the cloud utilities for the Ansible user, this is probably due to Ansible executing as ‘non interactive’, so you can either fix this in the environment or add it via the `environment` keyword in the play. ---

Sorry for the confusion here, I shared the latest ansible\_env which has gcloud path if you can see and the PATH is ```auto "PATH": "/runner/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin", ``` And it is coming as expected. Looks like the utility is not correctly getting installed. I am using this method to install gcloud in my dockerfile . Is this correct ? ```auto RUN curl -O https://XXX.uXXs-east1.infra.int.gw.XXX.io/artifactory/ansible-store/google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ tar -xzf google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --quiet && \ rm google-cloud-sdk-470.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz ``` ---

When you run a job in the execution environment it is bind mounted to `/runner` and there the `/runner/google-cloud-sdk` directory is lost behind the bind mount. This can be seen when running `ansible-navigator exec` and browsing to `/runner`. You’ll see an `artifacts` and `projects` directory. A simple change is to move your installation of the SDK to a different directory. I personally tested extracting it to `/google-cloud-sdk`. It is probably more sensible to place it in `/opt/google-cloud-sdk` though. ```Containerfile FROM ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-base:2.18.4-1 USER root WORKDIR / RUN cd / && curl --verbose --output google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz \ https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/downloads/google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ tar xzf google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && \ ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --quiet && \ rm google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz && cd - ENV PATH="/google-cloud-sdk/bin:${PATH}" WORKDIR /runner USER 1000 ``` ---

Thanks for the response. Yes that makes sense to keep it in /opt I will test this today and will let you know if that works. Thanks and Best Regards ---
