Safer way to fail playbook on callback instead exit(1)

Hi all,

I’m running AWX on single node k3s cluster and need to fail a job if “Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring:…” basically hook into v2_playbook_on_no_hosts_matched

I have a callback_plugin that basically does that a brute force way by exiting 1 but is there any other way to mark the job failed… because if I rise error the job is still marked as Successful in AWX which is nonsense.

from ansible.plugins.callback import CallbackBase
from ansible.errors import AnsibleError
from ansible import constants as C

class CallbackModule(CallbackBase):
CALLBACK_VERSION = 2.0
CALLBACK_TYPE = ‘notification’
CALLBACK_NAME = ‘fail_on_no_hosts’

def v2_playbook_on_no_hosts_matched(self):

fail the Ansible tower Job

self._display.error(“No hosts matched”)
exit(1)
