All of the flags for awx job_templates modify are missing in CentOS 7.x/Fedora 36
ISSUE TYPE
- Bug, Docs Fix or other nominal change
COMPONENT NAME
- CLI
SUMMARY
All of the flags for awx job_templates modify are missing and the function itself doesn't appear to do anything when executed on CentOS 7.x or Fedora 36.
ENVIRONMENT
- AWX version: 3.8.6
- AWX install method: pip
- Operating System: Linux (CentOS 7.9 and Fedora 36)
- Web Browser: N/A
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install the binary with pip (pip3 install awxkit) on a CentOS 7.9 or Fedora 36 host and execute awx job_templates modify jobid or use any of the flags associated with it.
The following output is from my laptop, which runs Fedora 36, I get the same output from CentOS 7.9 boxes as well.
[brando56894@r911vm89 ~]$ awx --version
3.8.6
[brando56894@r911vm89 ~]$ awx job_templates modify 758
usage: awx job_templates modify [-h] id
positional arguments:
id the ID (or unique name) of the resource
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
awx job_templates modify: the following arguments are required: id
[brando56894@r911vm89 ~]$ awx job_templates modify 758 --extra_vars "foo:bar"
usage: awx job_templates modify [-h] id
positional arguments:
id the ID (or unique name) of the resource
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
[brando56894@r911vm89 ~]$ awx job_templates modify 758 --extra_vars "@vars.yml"
usage: awx job_templates modify [-h] id
positional arguments:
id the ID (or unique name) of the resource
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
[bgolway@r911vm89 ~]$ awx job_templates modify Foreman-CentOS-Baseline-Apply --extra_vars "@vars.yml"
usage: awx job_templates modify [-h] id
positional arguments:
id the ID (or unique name) of the resource
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
EXPECTED RESULTS
The help command should list all the flags/options that are listed here
The modify action should allow the user to modify the template
ACTUAL RESULTS
awx job_templates modify seems to do nothing other than print the help text instructing the user how to use the action
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Installing the aforementioned ansible-tower-cli-3.8.5-3.el8at.x86_64.rpm on a Rocky 8.5 VM or installing awxkit via pip works as expected after giving the job ID

Hello, We noticed you said you are running AWX version: 3.8.6. That particular version is a version of Controller. We would recommend that you reach out to Red Hat Support.
Unless I'm misunderstanding how awx-cli works, the Controller version shouldn't matter. The problem is with awx-cli, not the Controller.
I observe the similar behavior with AWX 21.0.0 and instance modify sub-command. Testing against AWX 21.7.0 works, however. awxkit version 21.0.0 or 21.7.0 doesn't make much difference though.
@brando56894,
It looks like you're using the RPM build for RHEL. Please reach out to the Red Hat support team and submit a ticket. Here is the link: https://access.redhat.com/support
Thank you!
