When job is running, selected EE is not visible in the UI, it appears only after it finishes

New Feature

Feature Summary

Right now EE that was selected is invisible to user, see here

A specific version of EE was used for this template, but it's not visible anywhere in the job history (it was changed between runs) and therefore we can't verify if that specific version was really used or not and which version of EE the job was started with

Select the relevant components

• UI
• API
• Docs
• Collection
• CLI
• Other

Steps to reproduce

Create a template, pick a custom EE, start a job, then edit template, pick another EE, start a new job. You won't be able to tell which job was started with which EE.

Current results

See above

Sugested feature result

Make it so that chosen EE version is visible just like other fields, job template, project etc.

Additional information

No response

[benapetr]

EE can be chosen here

But it's not possible to see which one was chosen for a job that is running (I just noticed this information appears later when job already finishes, but it should probably be visible even when it's running)

@benapetr
Hi, indeed EE is not shown during the job run, but once the job is completed, the Details is updated to include used EE.

Does this not satisfy your requirement?

[kurokobo]

Ah, I missed your second post. You already knew that. My apologies 😞

hey @benapetr can you look at the API endpoints for these jobs and see if it shows up there? like kick off a job and go to the job endpoint and see if it shows up before the job ends.

[marek1712]

@thedoubl3j it's shown for both Running and Completed jobs:

I guess that's matter of some condition when Details page is generated. This?

ok, good. not the best but the api is showing @benapetr thanks for reporting. @jbradberry if I recall you had a follow up for this or something?

[kurokobo]

I know nothing about background but according to the commit message (ansible/awx@2c5bcf2), EE is hidden by design until job completes.

If we know if the concerns we had then still apply to the current implementation, we can determine if we can change the conditions under when EEs are displayed.

Update UI to reflect new API EE changes

• Show resolved EE for job template details.
• Do not show EE if a certain job status still running, since EE on the API is not set yet. It was causing the bug to temporarily how missing resource.
• Fix discrepancy about job types for list and details.

See: ansible/awx#10327
Also: ansible/awx#10399

I know nothing about background but according to the commit message (ansible/awx@2c5bcf2), EE is hidden by design until job completes.

That, unfortunately, was a misunderstanding. The EE should be known when the job first starts running. It shouldn't need to wait until the job is complete.

Though there was also some question about what to do about Workflows, since what matters is the EE chosen on each node's job and the EE field on the workflow itself is (mostly?) irrelevant.
