Hi,

I am playing around with AWX and tring to understand how things work. I am experimenting with the docker-compose version and trying to get an outside receptor node working.

I think I have an issue where I am using a bad receptor or ansible-runner version.  
When updating a inventory on the outside execution node nothing is updated.

After some debugging I see that receptor or ansible runner is dumping (AWX\_CLEANUP\_PATHS = False)

the following directory structure:  
When it is run inside docker

/tmp/awx\_19992\_r5n3y29c/artifacts/19992/output.json

when it is the outside node:

/tmp/awx\_19992\_r5n3y29c/artifacts/output.json

So I edited the code to reflect this.

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/67f1ab2237bc1da453bdacfd848c87e7bfb1371b/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py#L1615](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/67f1ab2237bc1da453bdacfd848c87e7bfb1371b/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py#L1615)

expected\_output = os.path.join(private\_data\_dir, ‘artifacts’, str(inventory\_update.id), ‘output.json’)  
**if not os.path.exists(expected\_output):**  
**expected\_output = os.path.join(private\_data\_dir, ‘artifacts’, ‘output.json’) with** open(expected\_output) as f:

But what is wrong on the outside node since awx expect the str(inventory\_update.id) in the path. I suspect an old( or new) ansible runner/receptor combo that is causing this.

Anyone that can help?

Problem solved. It was the ansible-runner version. (git version instead of pypi)
