Hi!

I have updated awx from 19.3.0 to 19.4.0. After the upgrade when I initiate project sync or submit the job, it is going into pending state. no logs showed in the job.

when I checked the awx-web, the job is submitted to an api then there is no useful logs.  
When I checked the awx-task logs, I saw below.

/etc/receptor/receptor.conf not found in awx-task container and itis called by the python script /var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/awx/main/utils/receptor.py", line 22. Is it a bug? kindly help.

I am able to fix it after modifying the deployment using kubectl edit deployment and change the volumeMounts under awx-task as below:  
volumeMounts:

- mountPath: /etc/receptor.conf  
name: awx-receptor-config  
readOnly: true  
subPath: receptor.conf

The subPath is mandatory otherwise it will mount as directory.

Please fix this in upcoming release. Thanks.
