Description

This is a draft/test PR of migrating one module from the awx.awx collection. It is a WIP.

Migrate the job_template module from the awx.awx collection to ansible.platform using the platform SDK pattern. This is the first controller-service module in the collection.

Generated initial scaffolding via tools/generate_resource.py, then manually completed:

  • Transform mixin with FK resolution (inventory, project, execution_environment, webhook_credential) and org-scoped project lookup
  • Custom action plugin (Pattern C) for association sub-endpoints (credentials, labels, notification_templates, instance_groups), survey_spec secondary endpoint, and copy_from support
  • Module DOCUMENTATION with full field parity, aliases, and seealso references to ansible.controller and awx.awx
  • Controller action group added to runtime.yml
  • Integration test scaffold covering CRUD, idempotency, survey, and copy operations

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3a8a1

The job-template module can select resources from the wrong organization, silently omit requested references, fail to converge associations, and break repeated copy runs or private-CA connections. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Thanks for prototyping the first controller module migration — this is useful groundwork for understanding what awx.awx parity actually requires.

Recommendation: keep orchestration in the SDK, not the action plugin

The current Pattern C action plugin (plugins/action/job_template.py) implements associations, survey_spec, and copy_from via direct manager.session calls on hardcoded /api/controller/v2/... paths. That works for Ansible playbooks in isolation, but it conflicts with how ansible.platform is structured and where we want controller migrations to land long term.

Collection design (docs/05-design-principles.md, docs/09-agent-collaboration.md):

  • Action plugins should not contain HTTP; all API work goes through PlatformService in the manager process.
  • No existing action plugin on devel uses manager.session — they use manager.execute() and manager.lookup_resource_id().
  • Complex resource behavior belongs in the transform mixin (plugins/plugin_utils/api/v1/job_template.py) and PlatformService.execute(), with the action plugin staying thin (_WRITE_ONLY_FIELDS, hooks, optional orchestration only).

Why this matters beyond Ansible: #206

#206 adds an MCP server that discovers tools from module DOCUMENTATION and executes them exclusively via:

PlatformService.execute(operation, module_name, params)

That path intentionally mirrors what action plugins do internally — without importing action plugins at all.

With the current #228 approach:

Capability Ansible (this action plugin) MCP execute (#206)
Basic CRUD ✅ via super().run()execute()
Associations, survey_spec, copy_from ✅ via custom session HTTP ❌ not in execute()

MCP would still advertise those module options (from docs) but could not apply them — a behavioral gap we are trying to avoid as we add controller modules.

Suggested direction for a follow-up revision

  1. Move association / survey / copy logic into the SDK layer

    • Model secondary endpoints in the transform mixin (get_endpoint_operations(), post-create/post-update hooks with TransformContext.manager).
    • Keep HTTP inside PlatformService (already owns session).
  2. Thin the action plugin

    • Declare write-only / side-effect fields in _WRITE_ONLY_FIELDS (survey_spec, copy_from, association lists).
    • Use Pattern B hooks where needed; avoid manager.session entirely.
  3. Benefit: one implementation serves playbooks, MCP (DNM: Add MCP server for AI-agent access to AAP Gateway resources #206), and future non-Ansible SDK consumers — same as the existing gateway modules.

Happy to discuss concrete mixin shapes for association sub-endpoints if helpful. This draft is still valuable for scoping awx parity even if the execution layer moves.

Follow-up on the SDK-vs-action-plugin discussion above: after digging in, a lot of what happened here looks like a documentation gap in the collection, not just an implementation choice.

The existing rules already said the right things in places (docs/05 Principle 1, docs/09 anti-patterns), but they were easy to miss because:

  • Pattern C was documented incorrectly in the onboarding skill/cheatsheet as “override execute() / put complex multi-endpoint logic in the action plugin” — which reads like a green light for exactly what this PR did.
  • docs/07 §4 says generated action plugins should have no extra logic, but didn’t call out associations/surveys/copy as mixin work for controller migrations.
  • There was no explicit SDK consumer invariant (playbooks + MCP #206 must share PlatformService.execute()), so the cost of manager.session in an action plugin wasn’t obvious until review.

We opened #239 on devel (separate from #238) to fix that:

  • SDK execution invariants for agents (docs/09 §10, docs/05 §3a, docs/07 §4a)
  • Corrected Pattern C guidance in .claude/skills/platform-onboarding/
  • make check_action_plugin_invariants CI guard against HTTP in plugins/action/

So this draft is still valuable for scoping awx/controller parity — the recommended SDK-first refactor stands — but the collection docs/skills share some blame for steering toward a heavy action plugin. Thanks for using it as the test case that surfaced the gap.

Migrate the job_template module from the awx.awx collection to
ansible.platform using the platform SDK pattern. This is the first
controller-service module in the collection.

Generated initial scaffolding via tools/generate_resource.py, then
manually completed:
- Transform mixin with FK resolution (inventory, project,
  execution_environment, webhook_credential) and org-scoped
  project lookup
- Custom action plugin (Pattern C) for association sub-endpoints
  (credentials, labels, notification_templates, instance_groups),
  survey_spec secondary endpoint, and copy_from support
- Module DOCUMENTATION with full field parity, aliases, and
  seealso references to ansible.controller and awx.awx
- Controller action group added to runtime.yml
- Integration test scaffold covering CRUD, idempotency, survey,
  and copy operations

Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
All API work (associations, survey_spec, copy_from) now flows through
PlatformService/DirectHTTPClient instead of direct manager.session
calls in the action plugin, satisfying design principles and enabling
MCP compatibility.

Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix author format in DOCUMENTATION to pass ansible-test sanity
- Add YAML document end marker to fix ansible-lint violation
- Add changelog fragment for PR ansible#228
- Fix from_api() to return FK fields as strings so _should_update()
  correctly skips name-vs-ID comparisons (prevents false changed=True)
- Improve error handling in manage_associations and copy_resource to
  surface failures instead of silently swallowing them
- Add 30 unit tests covering transform mixin, FK resolution, extra_vars
  serialization, reverse transform, and endpoint operations

Check for the destination before copying.

Every state=present run with copy_from calls copy_resource. A repeated run can create another copy or fail because the destination name already exists. Find the destination first, and copy only when it is absent.

Propagate foreign-key lookup errors instead of omitting requested fields.

_resolve_fk catches the ValueError raised by lookup_resource_id for unknown names and returns None. The create and update payload builders skip None fields, so a requested inventory, project, execution environment, or webhook credential can be omitted. Remove the broad catch from _resolve_fk; keep any intentional organization-to-project fallback as an explicit catch at that call site.

Use ansible_data_dict and do not hide scoped lookup errors. PlatformService.execute requires ansible_data_dict on both persistent and ephemeral manager paths, so the current call raises TypeError. The broad handler then performs the unscoped projects lookup, which can select a project from another organization. Use the shared keyword in every client mode, catch only the expected not-found condition, and let signature or API errors propagate. Update the test to assert the exact call with ansible_data_dict={"name": "Demo", "organization": 1}.

Preserve organization scoping in the list lookup. from_ansible_data uses the organization name only to resolve the project. It does not store the resolved ID in APIJobTemplate_v1. Therefore, this method returns {}, and DirectHTTPClient sends only the name filter. A same-named job template from another organization can be selected and updated. Carry the resolved organization ID into the API data used by this lookup.

Follow next while collecting association IDs in PlatformService.manage_associations. The job-template action reaches this method through ManagerRPCClient in persistent mode. The method reads only the first results page. A later-page association can be treated as absent and posted again, while an undesired later-page association remains associated. Collect every page before computing the delta.

Association synchronization suppresses current-state read failures in both client modes.

  • plugins/plugin_utils/manager/platform_manager.py#L1075-L1080: propagate GET and response parsing failures instead of assigning current_ids=[].
  • plugins/plugin_utils/platform/direct_client.py#L1016-L1022: propagate _make_request, read, and parsing failures instead of assigning current_ids=[].

For an empty desired list, the current code reports no change while existing associations remain.

Check association POST responses before setting changed.

manage_associations() does not inspect the responses for either association or disassociation. HTTP 4xx/5xx responses do not raise automatically, so the Controller can reject the request while the method sets changed = True and returns success. Call raise_for_status() or use _make_request() before setting changed.

Follow Controller pagination in DirectHTTPClient.manage_associations. When the Controller returns a next link, this method reads only the first results page before calculating current_ids. On the reachable direct-client fallback path, later-page associations can be re-associated unnecessarily or remain attached when they are absent from desired_items. Follow and collect every next page before calculating the delta. Updating PlatformService.manage_associations alone does not fix this separate implementation.
