Workflow Prompt on Launch Causes Inventory to be required

[tstahnke2]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

We have workflows that we've been using in previous AWX builds (15.0.1 and earlier) that use Prompt on Launch for variables. As of AWX 16, these prompted launches are failing with unresolved errors. These errors go away if we add an inventory to the workflow.

fyi, recreated it so awxbot properly tags

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: 16.0.0
• AWX install method: docker on linux
• Ansible version: 2.9.15
• Operating System: Windows 10 (client)
• Web Browser: Brave, Chrome, Edge, etc.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Set up a workflow that prompts on launch for variables, but has no inventory defined.
2. Launch the workflow
3. Enter custom variables and click Next
4. Non-existent validation errors will be flagged. Will be unable to finalize launching the workflow

EXPECTED RESULTS

I would expect to be able to launch a workflow with Prompt on Launch for variables without having to define an inventory for the workflow.

ACTUAL RESULTS

I am unable to launch workflows with prompt on launch enabled without an inventory selected

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Not working without an inventory:

Running into the same issue. These workflows with prompts for vars ran fine in 15.01.

Edit: Looks like this error includes workflows that prompt for a limit as well.
