When AWX template parsing fails leads to a Nil dereference error when ordering a service.

[jarovo]

This happens in our cfme/tests/services/test_config_provider_servicecatalogs.py::test_order_tower_catalog_item[ansible_tower-3.5-template_survey_job-v1]

The test orders a service from AWX. I am not sure why, but I see:

[----] W, [2020-07-23T12:13:45.380774 #10561:2ab1069e05c0]  WARN -- : MIQ(ManageIQ::Providers::AnsibleTower::Inventory::Parser::AutomationManager#configuration_scripts) Failed to parse job_template ID [7]: (<unknown>): found unknown escape character while parsing a quoted scalar at line 2 column 10

According to @agrare this leads to

Note it is trying to dereference the variables which is not set by the above configuration_scripts.

Seems to be affecting at least these CFME's:
5.11.6.0
5.11.7.0

@JaryN can you create a bugzilla issue so that this can be backported to ivanchuk?

[jarovo]

Done.
