Why doesn't AWX see the plugin?

Question

CentOS

There is AWX which should create a virtual machine in GCP . To do this, I installed the plugin sudo pip install google-auth
Here is the actual playbook code:

Playbook code

---
- name: Create jenkins vm
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    service_account_email: [email protected]
    credentials_file: /etc/conf/awx/awx.json
    project_id: geocitizen-app
    machine_type: f1-micro
    machine_name: jenkins-node-1
    image: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/centos-cloud/global/images/centos-7-v20191014
    zone: europe-north1-a
  tasks:
   - name: Launch instances
     gcp_compute_instance:
       auth_kind: serviceaccount
       name: "{{ machine_name }}"
       machine_type: "{{ machine_type }}"
       #service_account_email: "{{ service_account_email }}"
       service_account_file: "{{ credentials_file }}"
       project: "{{ project_id }}"
       zone: "{{ zone }}"
       network_interfaces:
       - network:
         access_configs:
         - name: External NAT
           type: ONE_TO_ONE_NAT
       disks:
       - auto_delete: 'true'
         boot: 'true'
         initialize_params:
           source_image: "{{ image }}"

When I launch my playbook from the console, everything is ok, it is executed. I do it like this:

[[email protected] ansible]$ ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml

Now I have uploaded this case in AWX (I don’t know if it’s correct to say “uploaded”, in general I do it through the UI). Then I run my template and get this output:

Everything seems to be logical. Writes "msg": "Please install the google-auth library". Above we were told that our libraries are here

ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible

Here is what we have in this folder

For the purity of the experiment, let's try to install it there.

[[email protected] ansible]$ sudo pip install --target=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible google-auth

Sorry for the picture, ran into the character limit in the question

We see that it is already there. But why then AWX stubbornly does not look at him?

Answer 1

Go to Jobs, in any job and look at the value of ENVIRONMENT
And you need to put it there
