Bug Summary

Hello! 😃

I am deploying and using awx in a k8s environment, and intermittently, I see the following error between project updates.

The project could not sync because there is no Execution Environment.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py", line 509, in run
    env = self.build_env(self.instance, private_data_dir, private_data_files=private_data_files)
  File "/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py", line 1145, in build_env
    env = super(RunProjectUpdate, self).build_env(project_update, private_data_dir, private_data_files=private_data_files)
  File "/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py", line 314, in build_env
    raise RuntimeError('The project could not sync because there is no Execution Environment.')
RuntimeError: The project could not sync because there is no Execution Environment.

awx-task and awx-ee are running as containers in the same pod, and there did not seem to be anything special when checking the status / ping through receptorctl.

If this is a problem that already has a solution, I would appreciate it if you could let me know the solution. 🙇🏻‍♂️

that error message doesn't appear in the repo anymore, which means we've probably changed this area of the code quite a bit since 21.11.0

There is a good chance this has been resolved in awx 24.0.0

hello!!

As you mentioned, when updating to version 24, the same error occurs intermittently.
RuntimeError: The ProjectUpdate could not run because there is no Execution Environment.

Is there any solution? 🙏
