Ansible AWX：当 .yml 和 .py 文件位于 Github 中时，使用 Ansible playbook 触发 python 脚本

Question

I am starting to integrate AWX into our environment and would like to move & schedule some python scripts there, but I am facing issue to trigger python script using Ansible playbook. There is .YML and .PY located in the same Github repository & directory. I trigger Ansible playbook which initiates python script as per below 2 lines (there is more of the code of course) and everything completes OK, but script is not triggered. Previously all python scripts were located on the host locally and scheduled via windows task scheduler.

CODE:

- name: Checking for duplicate clients

  script: duplicate_clients.py

Seems that Python script on the windows host is even not started, as I do not see python started in the task manager.

DEBUG :

However, I have tried a different approach to start python script (as I am not sure how exactly it should be done when script is located on Github).

CODE:

- name: Checking for duplicate clients
command: py -3 duplicate_clients.py

DEBUG

fatal: [server_XXX]: FAILED! => {

    },
    "changed": false,

Seems it is looking python on a linux path, though the target host is a windows.

The python script here is not an issue, as it is simply creating a test file. Running script locally completes with RC=0.

Answer 1

So the issue has been resolved by providing python executable path.

- name: Checking for duplicate clients
  script: create_file.py
  args: 
    executable: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\python.exe"'
