Could you please provide more details as to what is happening? Are you getting an error back from the plugin? Is your playbook throwing an error?

Re: Ansible Tower Plugin version 0.10.0 does not pass credentials from job to Ansible tower 3.6.1

We want to be using the latest version of the plugin. Are you getting a stack trace along with the Null Pointer Exception? If so, can you send that along? Also, are you referencing the credential by ID or by name?

Thanks for the stack trace, it looks like the plugin was unable to determine the version of Tower you are connecting to. Can you go to Jenkins => Manage Jenkins => Configure System. On this page find the Ansible Tower section and check the "Enable Debugging" option next to the Tower installation you are running. After thats enabled tail your Jenkins log file and run your Jenkins job again. In the log file you should see messages that begin with the string `[Ansible-Tower]` like:
```
[Ansible-Tower] Building GET request to https://10.0.1.24/api/v2/ping/
[Ansible-Tower] Forcing cert trust
[Ansible-Tower] Request completed with (200)
[Ansible-Tower] Ping page loaded
[Ansible-Tower] Successfully got version 3.6.2
[Ansible-Tower] Connecting to Tower version: 3.6.2
```

Please attach those first couple of lines so we can see if we are getting anything back.

can you please tell the reason why the ansible tower plugin version 0.10 and 0.12 is not able to pass machine type of credentials to ansible tower,

recently we upgraded ansible tower version after this we are facing this issue ,previously it is working with this plugin versions

In Tower 3.5 they changed how credentials are passed through he API. The commit that tried to compensate for that was release as part of 0.14.0. https://github.com/jenkinsci/ansible-tower-plugin/commit/4f2dc4055519fc2c247897209af1a135bfe02864

So we want to be using the latest version of the plugin to get those changes.

The NPE exception you sent me is related to this line of code:
`this.towerVersion.is_greater_or_equal("3.5.0") ||`

 

Which is telling me that the module was unsuccessful at getting the details about your version of Tower. Can you log into Tower as the same user that the Jenkins plugin is using and then navigate to /api/v2/ping and paste the results into this ticket? I do see an issue where the plugin does not "complain" if its unable to get a version from Tower. But the ping page should be open to all users of Tower so that really shouldn't happen.

Hi John,

 

for NPE the main issue is with towerVersion variable .

I saw below comment on JENKINS-60352 issue 

This patch cause a NullPointerException (with AWX) because towerVersion attribute is apparently not properly filled.

Thanks you for the details, I believe I know what is going on now and am working on a fix. I'll let you know when that has been pushed and is ready for testing. Hopefully that will be later today.

This appears to have been an issue specifically with AWX v8.0.0 which reported its version as 8.0.0.0 (a 4 part notation instead of a three part notation). Jenkins 0.14.1 has been released which should hopefully address this scenario. It may take a couple days to be available for download. Please test and let me know if this now works.

I just checked on the plugin site (https://plugins.jenkins.io/ansible-tower/) its still referencing 0.14.0 but on the Jenkins Update center (https://updates.jenkins.io/current/update-center.json) it looks like 0.14.1 is there. Please check your plugins page in Jenkins and see if the 0.14.1 version is available to you to test. If not, you may need to check over the next couple of days for it to become available.

I am not able to see 0.14.1 version in plugin page of Jenkins,
Do you have any idea how many days it will take,
Can I expect this version will handle machine credentials of ansible tower correctly

I am hoping that the 0.14.1 will fix the issue with the extracting the version which is what is causing the machine credentials to fail. As for the number of days it can vary based on your installation. It appears to be published out on the plugin page but now its a matter of how long will that take to sync down to your installation. i.e. I've seen some installations which have additional proxies between Jenkins and the update center; I'd say to check back later tonight and then again tomorrow. You can also look at what your update center is set to and when your installation last checked for updates. To do this go to manage jenkins => manage plugins => advanced tab. The last field on here Update Site is where you are pulling plugins from and in the bottom right corner of the page there should be text indicating when the installation last pulled that source (i.e. Update information obtained: 4 hr 40 min ago). If that isn't recent you can hit the "check now" button and it should try to fetch the current data. I am seeing the 0.14.1 version of the plugin after hitting the check now button and my update site is set to the default: https://updates.jenkins.io/update-center.json
