Feature: support of workflow job template

[Sispheor]

So far Squest only support job templates.
It would be interesting to support as well workflows.

Any change on this issue ?

[Sispheor]

Not yet scheduled. But still in our TODO.

I used a playbook that makes a call to the AWX api and with that it ran WorkFlow!

• name: AAP API
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false

  vars:
  aap_user: USER
  aap_pass: PASS
  aap_host: aapcontrol001.lnx.example.local
  template_nun: 21

  tasks:

  • name: Get the token AAP
    uri:
    url: "https://{{ aap_host }}/api/v2/users/1/personal_tokens/"
    method: POST
    validate_certs: false
    return_content: true
    user: "{{ aap_user }}"
    password: "{{ aap_pass }}"
    force_basic_auth: true
    status_code: 201
    register: response

  • name: Use the token
    uri:
    url: "https://{{ aap_host }}/api/v2/workflow_job_templates/{{ template_nun | urlencode }}/launch/"
    method: POST
    validate_certs: false
    return_content: true
    status_code: 201
    headers:
    Authorization: "Bearer {{ response['json']['token'] }}"
    Content-Type: "application/json"
    register: launch

Too complex add workflow in squesh?

[Sispheor]

Not a priority on our side. We are working on a V2 that refactor a lot of thing.

[giulianoquites]

Is v2 development public? We can help?

[Sispheor]

Here we need a user story. What do we want to manage at Squest level?
The first survey, like we already do with job templates. And then what about approval nodes?
We leave them to Tower/AWX? We catch them and expose into Squest?
As Squest already manage its own approval workflow system, it would a feature duplicate.

Note that it's already possible to create a job template that will trigger a workflow if the idea is to execute multiple job template at once.
