Hi,

Is there any way to remove deprecation warnings from the output of the playbooks running inside AXW? I get something like the following:

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Distribution centos 8 on host R3 should use

6  
/usr/libexec/platform-python, but is using /usr/bin/python for backward

7  
compatibility with prior Ansible releases. A future Ansible release will

8  
default to using the discovered platform python for this host. See [https://docs](https://docs)

9  
.ansible.com/ansible/2.11/reference\_appendices/interpreter\_discovery.html for

10  
more information. This feature will be removed in version 2.12. Deprecation

11  
warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation\_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

I tried adding a variable in the Template (deprecation\_warnings: False) but it’s not working, and I dont know how to reach the global ansible.cfg file.

Thanks!

This is because of it trying to auto discover the python interpreter. If you want Ansible to continue using /usr/bin/python and not show the warning, you can set ansible\_python\_interpreter to auto\_legacy\_silent to silence the warning. Otherwise, you can set it to auto which will have it use /usr/libexec/platform-python in this case.  
^^^ That’s a specific fix for that issue.

If you want to do it more generally:  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference\_appendices/config.html#deprecation-warningsdrop](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#deprecation-warningsdrop) that into a ansible.cfg in the Projects SCM - here’s an example : [https://github.com/ffirg/workshop\_checks/blob/main/ansible.cfg](https://github.com/ffirg/workshop_checks/blob/main/ansible.cfg)
