Install awx-cli, then what?

[Kevin Knox]

I'm obviously without a clue here:

bash-4.4# pip3 install --log ~/install2.log awxkit

Requirement already satisfied: awxkit in /home/awx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages

Requirement already satisfied: PyYAML in /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages (from awxkit)

Requirement already satisfied: requests in /home/awx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from awxkit)

Requirement already satisfied: idna<3,>=2.5 in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from requests->awxkit)

Requirement already satisfied: chardet<5,>=3.0.2 in /home/awx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from requests->awxkit)

Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in /home/awx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from requests->awxkit)

Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<1.27,>=1.21.1 in /home/awx/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from requests->awxkit)

bash-4.4# awx

bash: awx: command not found

Hey Kevin,

Can you share some details of your environment?  I've given this a shot and it works okay for me:

~ head /etc/os-release -n3

NAME=Fedora

VERSION="32 (Workstation Edition)"

ID=fedora

~ python3 --version

Python 3.8.5

[yossarian] (fedora:●●) ~ python3 -m venv foo

[yossarian] (fedora:●●) ~ source foo/bin/activate

~ pip install awxkit 2>&1 > /dev/null

~ awx -h

usage: awx [--help] [--version] [--conf.host https://example.awx.org] [--conf.token TEXT] [--conf.username TEXT] [--conf.password TEXT] [-k] [-f {json,yaml,jq,human}] [--filter TEXT] [--conf.color BOOLEAN] [-v] resource ...

positional arguments:

  resource

    login               authenticate and retrieve an OAuth2 token

    config              print current configuration values

    import              import resources into Tower

    export              export resources from Tower

...

Thanks for the question!

bash-4.4# head /etc/os-release -n3

NAME="CentOS Linux"

VERSION="8 (Core)"

ID="centos"

bash-4.4# python3 --version

Python 3.6.8

bash-4.4# awx -h

bash: awx: command not found

The application may be somewhere in my file system, but I don't know where to start looking for it.

Try looking in ~/.local/bin

I'm on fedora 33, which is not too unlike centos8 and thats where my system pip3 installs it.

Maybe your $PATH is not correctly configured to pick up binaries in ~/.local/bin

Bingo! Thank you. Yes, it was in ~/.local/bin, and yes my path was not configured to find it. Great call!

For those following along for fun, after getting awx to work, this builds a project-sourced inventory. So much easier than doing it 150 times in the GUI! Thank you to the whole team of people who make this kind of stuff possible!

inventory_name=shared_environment_a

new_inventory=$(awx inventory create --name "$inventory_name" --description 'Autoimport by awx-cli from OEM' --organization 3)

# I will show the find, though the code works easily from $new_inventory's json return value 

found_inventory=$(awx inventory list --name "$inventory_name")

found_inventory_id=$(echo $found_inventory | python3 -c "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['results'][0]['id'])")

awx inventory_sources create --name oem --description 'Autosourced by awx-cli from OEM' \

    --source scm \

    --source_path "ansible/inventory/$inventory_name.yml" \

    --overwrite true \

    --overwrite_vars true \

    --inventory "$found_inventory_id" \

    --update_on_launch true \

    --source_project 30 \

    --update_on_project_update false

Thanks for the feedback Kevin :D

Based on your example, you might be interested to know that the CLI generally lets you specify resources (like inventories) using just their name (assuming you keep them unique across e.g., Organizations).  Try --inventory $inventory_name and see if you can skip the ID lookup.  The same is true for --organization "Some Organization Name"

[Kevin Knox]

> you can skip the ID lookup

Good to know! Thank you, again, Ryan.

Great news!

I noticed this on Debian 10/11 too, where awxkit will install okay but you can't find it in your path. Would be nice if it worked without having to specify the full path to awxkit.
