AWX - Unable to use my AWX-EE Custom

[t-benedet]

Hi guys,

I'm a beginner with ansible and I try to deploy a classic virtual machine debian with an ansible playbook from AWX to my ESXI standalone on my Raspberry 4.

But when I run the template, I've this error :

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ModuleNotFoundError:
 No module named 'pyVim' fatal: [ESXI]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"}, "changed": false, "msg": "Failed to import the required Python library (PyVmomi) on automation-job-144-hcsd8's Python /usr/libexec/platform-python. 
 Please read the module documentation and install it in the appropriate location.
  If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter"}`

So I decide to create my own awx-ee by following this tutorial : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/creating-custom-ee-awx-phil-griffiths/

And by adding pyVmomi and pyVim in my requirements.txt then I build and push to my quay repository. I change my execution environment for my project and my template :

But now I've this error :

    raise RuntimeError("Unable to find an execution environment.")
RuntimeError: Unable to find an execution environment.

Aand I really don't know how to fix it.

There is someone to help me ?

Thanks a lot !

You don't have a default execution environment. You probably deleted it or renamed it. There is a setting that defines the name for the global EE, and these methods look for one with that name.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

So I have to do the same things but I have to rename my custom image with this same name as the awx-ee original and that's it ?

probably should work. You can associate your custom EE with the job template as well.
