Missing AWX workflow jobid information

[ronrem]

Hi,

When initiating an AWX Job Template or AWX Workflow Job Template, ansibleforms displays: Launched template My first Workflow with jobid 54784 2024-04-26 12:59:42

Upon completion of the job, ansibleforms displays: ful 2024-04-26 13:03:05 Successfully completed template My first Workflow 2024-04-26 13:03:05

It seems that the 'jobid' information is not retained. Even in the job-log, no details about the job are available. However, upon querying the database, the following information is found: { "output": "ful", "result_after": "ful" }, { "output": "Successfully completed template My first Workflow", "result_after": "workflow" }

The job log resembles this

I require the Jobid for an AWX artifact lookup.

Thank you for your assistance. Regards Ronald

Just to be complete: I need to fetch AWX JobID number: 54784

mysql> select * from job_output WHERE job_id = 70;

the database is incremental about the output. so i can make timestamps. use rest ap to the output. you can add a flag to get text with colourcodes.

The API endpoint "/api/v1/job/70" doesn't have this full job output/jobid. It was available before, lost track of the working version. Link

[ansibleguy76]

This output is from the API /api/v1/job/100 in my case.

I could extend the database with the awx job id, if that helps ? if so, please create a feature request so i can follow up.

This is my full API endpoint "/api/v1/job/70" output, looks like the first AnsibleForms message does not get properly saved in the DB:

{
    "status": "success",
    "message": "job ran successfully",
    "data": {
        "id": 70,
        "form": "My first form",
        "target": "My first form",
        "status": "success",
        "start": "2024-04-26T12:59:40.000Z",
        "end": "2024-04-26T13:03:05.000Z",
        "user": "admin",
        "user_type": "local",
        "job_type": "awx",
        "extravars": "{ [truncated] }",
        "credentials": "{}",
        "notifications": "{}",
        "approval": null,
        "step": null,
        "parent_id": null,
        "subjobs": null,
        "no_of_records": 22,
        "counter": 346,
        "output": "<span class=''>ful</span> <span class='tag is-info is-light'>2024-04-26 13:03:05</span>\r\n<span class=''>Successfully completed template My first Workflow</span> <span class='tag is-info is-light'>2024-04-26 13:03:05</span>"
    }
}

I was expecting the same output as you provided.

[ansibleguy76]

AWX is not providing incremental output. That means I need to remove the overlap between 2 output, I do this to provide timestamps and visualize the progress. With native ansible, I get actual incremental output, so that's easy, there is no overlap. Sometimes AWX changes the output slightly and I miss the overlap, and that sometimes results in double output, I try to be smart and fix potential issues when that occurs. but you issue is having less output, I haven't seen that one before. Very strange indeed. if I store the AWX jobid, at least you could extract it from there then.

[ronrem]

Get your point, it would be very helpful if you store the AWX jobid in a unique key/value combination!

[ronrem]

What is the current status? Are you waiting for me, or am I waiting for you?

[ansibleguy76]

I know enough... You can expect a new version soon

[ansibleguy76]

will be available in 5.0.2... beta coming

[ansibleguy76]

new beta is now being pushed. use image ":beta" instead of ":latest". And use ctrl-F5 to clear the browser cache. let me know the outcome (awx_id is available in both database and api call)

[ansibleguy76]

I will close this... ping me if you think it should not be closed
