Hi, I am trying to use napalm-ansible ([https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-ansible](https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-ansible)) with AWX but I can never get the AWX job to recognise it. I have tried many things but I just can’t get AWX to recognise the napalm-ansible library/module path. No matter what the ‘configured module search path’ is always the same, I guess that needs to reflect the correct location of napalm-ansible? I have created a venv (nmc) on both task and web containers and installed napalm-ansible there, then setup the venv at the job level in awx. I have configured /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg in the containers but that didn’t help. I tried configuring ansible.cfg that sits in the same directory level as the ansible playbooks in the project, that didn’t help. I tried adding a /library to the project and adding napalm-ansible to it, that didn’t help either. Also tried moving the /library directory to the same level as the playbooks in the project but same result again. Now I have run out of ideas on what to do. Error output below: ansible-playbook 2.5.5 config file = /var/lib/awx/projects/nmc\_network/ansible.cfg **configured module search path = [u’/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/plugins/library’]** ansible python module location = /var/lib/awx/venv/nmc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /var/lib/awx/venv/nmc/bin/ansible-playbook python version = 2.7.5 (default, Apr 11 2018, 07:36:10) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28)] Using /var/lib/awx/projects/nmc\_network/ansible.cfg as config file setting up inventory plugins Parsed /tmp/awx\_27\_qz61yV/tmpuzXNvV inventory source with script plugin Loading callback plugin awx\_display of type stdout, v2.0 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/lib/awx\_display\_callback/module.pyc PLAYBOOK: napalm\_get.yml \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 1 plays in napalm\_get.yml PLAY [all] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* META: ran handlers TASK [Interfaces] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /var/lib/awx/projects/nmc\_network/napalm\_get.yml:39 \ attempting to start connection \ using connection plugin network\_cli \ local domain socket does not exist, starting it \ control socket path is /var/lib/awx/.ansible/pc/c4e7288eca \ \ ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: rwilliams on PORT 22 TO ip.address \ \ ssh connection done, setting terminal \ \ loaded terminal plugin for network\_os ios \ \ loaded cliconf plugin for network\_os ios \ \ firing event: on\_open\_shell() \ \ ssh connection has completed successfully \ connection to remote device started successfully \ local domain socket listeners started successfully \ \ local domain socket path is /var/lib/awx/.ansible/pc/c4e7288eca fatal: [dummy.hostname]: FAILED! =\> { “msg”: “ **The module napalm\_get\_facts was not found in configured module paths.

I managed to solve this. Turns out after many days of troubleshooting that the real answer is found in the green section of 22.8 on this page [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/tipsandtricks.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/tipsandtricks.html). It couldnt be found on my jobs because use fact cache was on and setting the AWS\_TASK\_ENV is the only way to prevent the module search path from being overwritten
