AWX Ansible Collection

This Ansible collection allows for easy interaction with an AWX or Ansible Tower server via Ansible playbooks.

The previous home for this collection was in https://github.com/ansible/ansible inside the folder lib/ansible/modules/web_infrastructure/ansible_tower as well as other folders for the inventory plugin, module utils, and doc fragment.

Building and Installing

This collection templates the galaxy.yml file it uses. Run make build_collection from the root folder of the AWX source tree. This will create the tar.gz file inside the awx_collection folder with the current AWX version, for example: awx_collection/awx-awx-9.2.0.tar.gz.

Installing the tar.gz involves no special instructions.

Running

Modules in this collection may have any of the following python requirements:

  • the official AWX CLI
  • the deprecated tower-cli PyPI
  • no requirements

See requirements in the DOCUMENTATION string specific to each module.

Release and Upgrade Notes

The release 7.0.0 of the awx.awx collection is intended to be identical to the content prior to the migration, aside from changes necessary to have it function as a collection.

The following notes are changes that may require changes to playbooks:

  • When a project is created, it will wait for the update/sync to finish by default; this can be turned off with the wait parameter, if desired.
  • Creating a "scan" type job template is no longer supported.
  • Type changes of variable fields
    • extra_vars in the tower_job_launch module worked with a list previously, but is now configured to work solely in a dict format.
    • extra_vars in the tower_workflow_job_template module worked with a string previously but now expects a dict.
    • When the extra_vars parameter is used with the tower_job_launch module, the Job Template launch will fail unless add_extra_vars or survey_enabled is explicitly set to True on the Job Template.
    • The variables parameter in the tower_group, tower_host and tower_inventory modules are now in dict format and no longer supports the use of the C(@) syntax (for an external vars file).
  • Type changes of other types of fields
    • Specifying inputs or injectors as strings in the tower_credential_type module is no longer supported. Provide them as dictionaries instead.
    • Specifying schema as in the tower_workflow_job_template module is no longer supported. Use a list of dicts instead.
  • tower_group used to also service inventory sources, but this functionality has been removed from this module; use tower_inventory_source instead.
  • Specified tower_config file used to handle k=v pairs on a single line; this is no longer supported. Please use a file formatted as yaml, json or ini only.
  • Some return values (e.g., credential_type) have been removed. Use of id is recommended.

Running Unit Tests

Tests to verify compatibility with the most recent AWX code are in awx_collection/test/awx. These can be ran by make test_collection in the development container.

To run outside of the development container, or to run against Ansible or tower-cli source, set up a working environment:

mkvirtualenv my_new_venv
# may need to replace psycopg2 with psycopg2-binary in requirements/requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt -r requirements/requirements_dev.txt -r requirements/requirements_git.txt
make clean-api
pip install -e <path to your Ansible>
pip install -e .
py.test awx_collection/test/awx/

If you do not install tower-cli, it will skip tests for modules that require it.

Running Integration Tests

The integration tests require a virtualenv with ansible >= 2.9 and tower_cli. The collection must first be installed, which can be done using make install_collection. You also need a configuration file at ~/.tower_cli.cfg or /etc/tower/tower_cli.cfg with the credentials for accessing tower. This can be populated using tower-cli:

tower-cli config host $HOST
tower-cli config username $USERNAME
tower-cli config password $PASSWORD
# This tells the tower-cli not to veriffy the ssl certs in the tower, if your tower has good certs you should leave this to true
tower-cli config verify_ssl false

Finally you can run the tests:

# ansible-test must be run from the directory in which the collection is installed
cd ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/awx/awx/
ansible-test integration

Licensing

All content in this folder is licensed under the same license as Ansible, which is the same as license that applied before the split into an independent collection.
