Hi,

I am trying to install AWX using local\_docker and getting below exception :

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Error connecting: load\_config() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘config\_dict’”}

Below are version details:

python - 2.7.5  
ansible - 2.4.2.0  
pip - 9.0.3  
docker-py - 1.10.6  
pip docker - 3.1.4  
Docker - 1.6.1

From couple of articles i came to know to downgrade pip docker - 3.1.4 to 3.0.0. tried that as well but same exception.

Kindly help me to get install AWX.  
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think it is because of the python interpreter.  
Can you try running the playbook with the -e option?

ansible-playbook -e “ansible\_python\_interpreter=python” -i inventory install.yml

I’ve been seeing this error more lately with extremely bleeding edge ansible versions.
