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:  
At line:4 char:1

- /usr/bin/python C:\Users\ansible\_svc\AppData\Local\Temp\ansible-tmp-1 …

- 

```auto

```
