I had asked this question on the awx github but they cannot reproduce it.

Bug Summary

awx.awx.export returns:
TASK [Export workflow job template] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (awx.awx.export) module: credentials, job_templates. Supported parameters include: controller_password (tower_password), request_timeout, controller_host (tower_host), controller_oauthtoken (tower_oauthtoken), all, validate_certs (tower_verify_ssl), controller_username (tower_username), controller_config_file (tower_config_file).”}

The job_templates option should be available according to:

Hi, which versions of awx.awx collection are installed on your environment?
There may be different versions of awx.awx installed in different locations.

ansible-galaxy collection list | grep -E "^#|awx"

Running that I found this:

# /Users/me/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections
awx.awx                             24.6.1 
# /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible_collections
awx.awx                             21.2.0

Following that, my ansible galaxy install was by default using a python3.9 install that I had forgotten about. I removed it (the whole py3.9 environment), and reinstalled into my main python3 (which is python3.12), and now I’m running into this error:
