Hello, I can't reproduce the issue.

Hello,

I have the same issue running any playbooks...

Semaphore is telling me the following in "System information":

Ansible not found on this server

System information:

Go Version go1.24.11 (linux/amd64)
Git Client cmd_git

@fiftin and @elmer0815 found the issue. The PATH envar was still pointing at the previous/old version of Ansible at:

/opt/semaphore/apps/ansible/11.13.0/venv/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

I needed to manually adjust the PATH env to the new version of Ansible:

/opt/semaphore/apps/ansible/13.5.0/venv/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

However, now I do see a new warning:

[WARNING]: Host '10.0.0.6' is using the discovered Python interpreter at '/usr/bin/python3.11', but future installation of another Python interpreter could cause a different interpreter to be discovered. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.20/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.

@nodesocket Do you provide PATH via container environment variable?

[fiftin]

@elmer0815 Did you fix the issue?

[elmer0815]

@fiftin I changed the PATH variable and now it works. But I also get the "warning" message. But it's just a warning :-)

updated today to v2.18.3^0-ae88bf9-1778595216 and got a similar error

Failed to run task: exec: "ansible-playbook": executable file not found in $PATH

changed to v2.18.2 and it works again
