Hi, I need help about this task.

I deployed Ansible AWX on a single node on Minikube and it seemed ok. Now, I’ve just launch a job from AWX GUI importing the community.general collection (which is described in requirements.yml file inside the main directory of awx\_operator). After the launch of the template, I receive this error:

Could not load "community.general.json\_query": ‘Invalid plugin FQCN (community.general.json\_query): unable to locate collection community.general’. String: {{ api\_response.json.rowset.rows | community.general.json\_query(‘[\*].Node’) }}. Could not load "community.general.json\_query": ‘Invalid plugin FQCN (community.general.json\_query): unable to locate collection community.general’

Could anyone help me to resolve this issue? I don’t know how to go ahead

@gvisentin Hello!

Are you using `awx-ee` image as EE (Execution Environment) ?

Unfortunately, the `awx-ee` does not have `community.general` collection.

To use `community.general` collection, we need to build custom image by [ansible-builder](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/builder/en/stable/).  
Or using other image that includes `community.general` collection.

I tried to use minikube for my first attempt to launch awx. This is what eventually got me going.  
[https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/](https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/)  
it has it’s limitations like minikube but made the most sense in the long run without having to learn way to much. I hope it helps, if not, sorry.
