I want to use this Inventory Script in AWX that connect to my satellite server to generate dynamic inventories.

But when I execute update of the inventory, it appears this error.

I resolve the problem, the file with variables to connect to satellite server have to be in the docker web\_task and not in the server.  
It works OK.
