Hello, I’m a beginner with AWX. I’m trying to use [pcs-modules-2](https://github.com/OndrejHome/ansible.pcs-modules-2), a role which is meant to be included as a dependency. It contains a library folder with some custom Ansible modules (pcs\_resource.py, pcs\_property.py etc.). In a normal ansible-playbook run that references these modules, this works (obviously), but when I try it in AWX, the modules are not found (ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.). Is this supposed to work? Do I need to adjust a setting? Thanks, ---

The requirements.yml file should be processed when the project is synced. Can you look at the sync job for the project to see if there were any errors in there? -John ---

Hello, Thanks for your answer. When I sync the project, the requirements file is not processed, the task is not executed: TASK [fetch galaxy roles from requirements.yml] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* skipping: [localhost,] =\> {“changed”: false, “skip\_reason”: “Conditional result was False”} I double-checked and ‘enable role download’ is on in settings → jobs. To test I commented the “when” clause in the task in project\_update.yml, but it would hang on the ‘detect requirements.yml’ task. So I commented that task too and it complained about the roles\_destination variable not being set. So I set a default value. The final task block that will sync the roles on a project update looks like this: - hosts: all gather\_facts: false tasks: - block: #- name: detect requirements.yml # stat: path={{project\_path|quote}}/roles/requirements.yml # register: doesRequirementsExist - name: fetch galaxy roles from requirements.yml command: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p {{roles\_destination|default(‘.’)|quote}}{{ ’ -’ + ‘v’ \* ansible\_verbosity if ansible\_verbosity else ‘’ }} args: chdir: “{{project\_path|quote}}/roles” register: galaxy\_result #when: doesRequirementsExist.stat.exists changed\_when: “‘was installed successfully’ in galaxy\_result.stdout” environment: ANSIBLE\_FORCE\_COLOR: False #when: roles\_enabled|bool delegate\_to: localhost All roles are now in the project directory, /var/lib/awx/projects/\_9\_\_endpoints/roles, I believe that’s correct. Unfortunately it didn’t make a difference for the job: ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. The playbook until the task triggering that error: ---

Does anyone have any ideas? Should I file one or more bugs for this? ---

Are you on the latest version of AWX? Does your project have a file at `roles/requirements.yml`, relative to the root of the project? Are you looking at the right project update? If you have requirements in your project, then any jobs ran from it should run a sync before the job starts, which links as a green circle next to the name of the project in the UI. The job type for that project update should be “run”. ---

Hello > Are you on the latest version of AWX? I just upgraded from 9.0.1 to 9.1.0 and tested again. Same results. > Does your project have a file at `roles/requirements.yml`, relative to the root of the project? Yes > Are you looking at the right project update? If you have requirements in your project, then any jobs ran from it should run a sync before the job starts, which links as a green circle next to the name of the project in the UI. The job type for that project update should be “run”. OK, I see that the role is installed during a job run in /tmp/awx\_44\_zrvcyiut/requirements\_roles/ondrejhome.pcs-modules-2 This is the tree structure of that role: ondrejhome.pcs-modules-2 │ ├── library │ │ ├── detect\_pacemaker\_cluster.py │ │ ├── pcs\_auth.py │ │ ├── pcs\_cluster.py │ │ ├── pcs\_constraint\_colocation.py │ │ ├── pcs\_constraint\_location.py │ │ ├── pcs\_constraint\_order.py │ │ ├── pcs\_property.py │ │ ├── pcs\_resource\_defaults.py │ │ └── pcs\_resource.py │ ├── LICENSE │ ├── LICENSE-APACHE2.txt │ ├── LICENSE-GPLv3.txt │ ├── meta │ │ └── main.yml │ ├── README.md │ └── tests │ ├── inventory │ └── test.yml I still get “ERROR! no action detected in task.” on the first task referencing one of those modules. ---

Then I don’t know quite what is going wrong. Since you reference a public github repository where the role is hosted, you should be able to reduce your content into a minimal reproducer so that you can share your playbook and requirements.yml file contents without exposing any confidential information. I would try to reproduce the error with that, because I’m interested in some better reference cases for SCM roles. Also, Ansible version could be relevant. ---

I’m sorry, this was user error. It works the same way as in ‘regular’ Ansible: I have to declare the role in the play (roles: - { role: ondrejhome.pcs-modules-2 } ) before I can actuaIly use it. I thought include\_role of another role that had pcs-modules-2 as a dependency would allow me to use it in subsequent tasks in the same play. I don’t know how I missed that. Found out when trying to put together the reproducer.
