Hi,

Hi Sakshi,

Check if jmespath is installed in the same location as Ansible Python location.

Jmespath and ansible is installed using docker image in kubernetes plugin so i believe it is on the same path.

Was it working before?

You need to install "jmespath" prior to running json\_query filter \<=== denotes that Ansible is unable to import the jmespath
