Inventory file dropdown adds slash to filename

[lukasertl]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

Creating an inventory - Sourced from a project. The dropdown for the inventory file actually shows the correct file (and others), but if I choose it there's a slash added to the end of the filename. The same thing happens if I freely type a filename into the textbox.

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: 18.0.0
• AWX install method: openshift (using AWX operator)

+1 same issue

I had the same issue on a fresh AWX 18.

The fact is the "runner" is choosig the wrong folder.

When i ran into the issue desribed above, I used the api to edit manually the value and remove the trailing slash.
You can do it easily by opening the dev perspective in firefox and the network tab before hitting the save button while editing a inventory source, click the save button, check the put operation in the network tab, right-click on it and edit, then edit the request parameters (source_path) and set it to the correct value and resend it.

But... it didn't work either (maybe it's a different issue ? - edit, it is : #9704). Here is my log :

I came back to the project view in AWX and saw that my projects are stored under : /var/lib/awx/projects, and folder of my project name is written in the Playbook Directory which is something like _number_project.

I went back to my network tab and set /var/lib/awx/projects/_number_project/inventory/hosts as my source_path and it worked !

Hope it can help till there is a bug fix released.

@larueli Nice hacking. Another tip for you... if you just visit /api/v2 in your browser, you can do all of this much easier than working in the network tab.

This has been updated in our tests

I am experiencing the same issue with AWX 19.4.0
I run AWX within a Kubernetes cluster using the AWX operator
looks like this is also tracked in #10878
