Awx: Playbooks in Projects with Manual SCM are not shown

[keithw1305]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

• Project

SUMMARY

I configured AWX to support Manual SCM. I am able to create Projects with Manual SCM by selecting folders created under /opt/awx_projects (mounted to /var/lib/awx/projects).

When creating a template, I can select the project but the playbooks within the folder are not shown in the Playbook selection field.

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: 1.0.4
• AWX install method: docker on linux
• Ansible version: 2.4.2.0
• Operating System: CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708
• Web Browser: Chrome

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Configure AWX to map volumes to /opt/awx_projects (uncomment line in inventory).
Create several directories under /opt/awx_projects and add playbooks.
Make sure that folders and files are accessible.
Create a project and chose manual SCM.
Select a directory.
Create a template and chose the project.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Playbooks in the folder should be selectable

ACTUAL RESULTS

No playbook is shown

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Working fine with GitGub as SCM.

[keithw1305]

Just create a new project using Git as SCM. Download works and the playbook is downloaded to /opt/awx_projects.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 Mar 18 10:36 azure-vm.poweron.yml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Mar 18 10:36 README.md

When creating a template, the playbook cannot be selected.

Both containers (awx_web, awx_task) can access the project folders:

I added another playbook to a Git Project that worked (playbook could be selected) and downloaded it again. The playbook is available under /opt/awx_projects/_7__keith_git

Now I tried to select a different playbook from that project but it is not displayed.

[keithw1305]

The awx postgres db shows no playbooks for additionally projects:

awx=# select local_path, playbook_files from main_project;
local_path | playbook_files
------------------+---------------------
windows | []
_21__keith_git | []
_4__demo_project | ["hello_world.yml"]
(3 rows)

playbooks are indexed on-demand: https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/models/projects.py#L191

Your playbooks need to look like playbooks, see here: https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/utils/ansible.py#L38

See the regular expression here: https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/utils/ansible.py#L16

Can you verify that your plalybooks look like what is expected?

Thank you for the hint. It is working now.
