hosts: awx

When you ran the command cat ~/tower_cli.cfg, where did you run that? From your own machine, or from the "awx" server?

From the looks of what you're doing, maybe the task should be delegate_to: localhost. That makes sense if your networking allows your computer access to the server via the normal ports for the API and UI to work.

The config is read from wherever the task is ran. It looks like, since the task ran on the server, there was no config file and it fell back to default values.

Environment vars (set in ansible-playbook context) & config file don't work to specify auth parameters if not ran from localhost. I'm all for improving the docs on this, but it needs to be said that it's a problem shared with other cloud modules, and is very often confusing. I'd like to see some examples of it done right.

Could you try ~/.tower_cli.cfg instead of ~/tower_cli.cfg? The former is what we have in the README.md.

Yeah, looks like the error handling catches things in the wrong order
