extra_vars ignored Tower / AWX API call

After endless troubleshooting just a note to myself and other people who facing this strange issue. Google does not index the Tower / AWX pages pretty well.

More information about how to script against the AWX Rest api you can find here.

$myObj = [PSCustomObject]@{
    month = "$month"
}
  
$myObject = [PSCustomObject]@{
        limit = "$SystemName"
        extra_vars = $myObj
}

$JBody = $myObject | ConvertTo-Json
$jobId = Get-AnsibleJobTemplate -Name $JobTemplate
Invoke-AnsibleRequest -fullpath "/api/v2/job_templates/$($jobid.id)/launch/" -Method POST -Body $JBody

$myObj = [PSCustomObject]@{

month = "$month"

}

$myObject = [PSCustomObject]@{

limit = "$SystemName"

extra_vars = $myObj

}

$JBody = $myObject | ConvertTo-Json

$jobId = Get-AnsibleJobTemplate -Name $JobTemplate

Invoke-AnsibleRequest -fullpath "/api/v2/job_templates/$($jobid.id)/launch/" -Method POST -Body $JBody
