[WARNING]: No python interpreters found for host

Hey all,

I set up a deployment pipeline using GitHub actions and am experiencing an issue with Ansible seemingly not being able to find the python interpreter.

The step in the job is as follows. I set the interpreter_python param and tried ‘auto’ as well as ‘/usr/bin/python3’ but to no avail. I have the collections_path set too since this is a windows post config step.

  • name: Windows configuration via Ansible
    uses: dawidd6/action-ansible-playbook@v2
    with:
    playbook: ansible/windows/site.yml

directory: ansible/windows/

configuration: |
[defaults]
callbacks_enabled = ansible.posix.profile_tasks, stdout_callback = yaml, interpreter_python = /usr/bin/python3, collections_path = ./collections/ansible_collections/
inventory: |
[all]
${{ steps.vmip.outputs.vmIp }}
vault_password: ${{secrets.VAULT_PASSWORD}}
options: |
-vvv

The full traceback is:
