Use Ansible Workflow/Job Template Common Parent Class

[nasark]

Previously Ansible AE methods were using the ::ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript class however this is not a parent class for workflow templates ::ConfigurationWorkflow, and so the AE method would fail on the call https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-automation_engine/blob/master/lib/miq_automation_engine/engine/miq_ae_engine/miq_ae_ansible_template_method.rb#L14 when using workflow templates

@nasark can you point me to where this is called from? I'd like to try to track the history to see if anything changed because it looks like this would have never worked for AnsibleTower ConfigurationWorkflows.

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-automation_engine/blob/master/lib/miq_automation_engine/engine/miq_ae_engine/miq_ae_method.rb#L27 - Should be here but I can't find where the caller method is invoked from

This might be a side effect of the AWX changes a while ago ManageIQ/manageiq@a230e47#diff-e77a7fcdb2c229a4e365cc4639d52f072e2108bf2a634424156853d39c05f7ec, maybe we missed ::ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript in the ConfigurationWorkflow class hiearchy?

[Fryguy]

would it be possible to add a spec for this? (or perhaps a spec for the caller of this?)

[Fryguy]

The class hierarchy is

• AutomationManager::ConfigurationScript
  • ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript
    • Awx::AutomationManager::ConfigurationScript
      • AnsibleTower::AutomationManager::ConfigurationScript
  • EmbeddedAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript
    • Workflows::AutomationManager::WorkflowInstance
      • EmbeddedAnsible::AutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow
  • AutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow
    • ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow
      • Awx::AutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow
        • AnsibleTower::AutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow

So, this PR is correct, even though technically it would pull in EmbeddedAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript as well. Considering this part of the code is just looking up the record, I think this is ok. Alternatively we could change the query to lookup from each of ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationScript and ExternalAutomationManager::ConfigurationWorkflow, but that feels overly complicated.

So, I'm 👍 for this PR.

@agrare @Fryguy Added some specs for running a workflow template AE method

@nasark were you able to track down that other similar failure that occurs later on after this patch was applied?

[agrare]

Failure related to running this fixed in ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-awx#36
