The job submission should NOT send an empty extra_vars dict if no extra variable are collected as a result of the job submission prompts. I was under the impression that an empty extra vars dict would be disregarded. An empty extra_vars dict will in fact overwrite any extra_vars in the JT with a blank set of extra_vars
Ansible UI
The user interface to Ansible Commander
Installation
FIXME: Update the instructions below.
To use the UI you will first need to complete the installation of Ansible Commander. Within Ansbile Commander you should be able to start the server (make runserver) and log into the admin console. If that all works, then you are ready to install Ansible UI.
For now the UI runs under the django server installed with Commander. If you are planning to do development, do NOT pull a copy of UI into the same directory structure as Commander. In other words, for development the UI should not be insalled as a subdirectory of Commander.
Once you have obtained a copy of UI, create a symbolic link within the Commander lib/static directory that points to the app subdirectory under ansible-ui. Call the link web:
cd ~/ansible-commander/lib/static
ln -s ../../../ansible-ui/app web
With the Ansible Commander server running, you should now be able to access the UI:
http://127.0.0.1:8013/static/web/index.html
You will be immediately prompted for to log in. User your Commander superuser credientials.
