Issues Getting pfsense_alias to work with AWX about ansible-pfsense HOT 6 CLOSED

currently in pfsensible.core the task names do not have the pfsense_ prefix - so try "alias:". This will likely change in the future...

from ansible-pfsense.

My revised code:

---
- name: Add RFC1918 Alias
  hosts: all
  collections:
    - pfsensible.core
  tasks:
    - name: Add Alias
      alias:
        name: RFC1918
        type: network
        address: "10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16"
        state: present

And my revised error:

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'alias'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

from ansible-pfsense.

So, I pulled this out of AWX into a stand-alone playbook as following, making sure to add gather_facts: no as it didn't like gathering facts:

---
- name: Add RFC1918 Alias
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  collections:
    - pfsensible.core
  tasks:
    - name: Add Alias
      alias:
        name: RFC1918
        type: network
        address: "10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16"
        state: present

Of course, it works. Sounds like this isn't an issue for you but I need to find someone that can explain why it won't work in AWX and how to correctly import the module.

I have no experience with AWX so I have no suggestions.

Thank you anyways.

In case anybody needs a solution, make a file in your project's directory at collections/requirements.yml instead of the roles/requirements.yaml that I was trying to do (also notice that I used yml instead of yaml, that's my second mistake). In that file, put the following:

---
collections:
  - name: pfsensible.core

And my playbook is below. Notice that I put gather_facts: no so that the playbook doesn't crash. I also had to suppress a warning about python by adding an inventory variable with ansible_python_interpreter: auto_silent:

---
- name: Add RFC1918 Alias
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  collections:
    - pfsensible.core
  tasks:
    - name: Add Alias
      alias:
        name: RFC1918
        type: network
        address: "10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16"
        state: present
