kubectl and synchronize are now part of community.kubernetes and ansible.posix collections, respectively. This change installs these collections to a local directory to be used in inventory and isolated management playbooks. awx issue #6930
1.1 KiB
Inventory Updates Cross-Development with Collections
Inventory updates in production use vendored collections baked into the image, which are downloaded from Ansible Galaxy in the build steps.
This gives instructions to short-circuit that process for a faster development process.
Running this script will do a git clone for all the relevant collections
into the folder awx/plugins/collections.
source tools/collections/clone_vendor.sh
After this is completed, you must change the path where the server looks for the vendored inventory collections. Add this line to your local settings:
AWX_ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS = '/awx_devel/awx/plugins/collections'
Then when you run an inventory update of a particular type, it should use the cloned collection. This allows you to cd into a particular collection, add remotes, change branches, etc.
Extra Build Steps
This will not work correctly in all circumstances. Some collections make changes at build-time.
In particular, the foreman inventory plugin needs the NAME attribute changed to the fully-qualified collection name, and will fail if this is not done.
