Steps to reproduce

I don't know how to reproduce this

Expected results

I expect the inventory to complete normally

Actual results

The result is that I have to cancel manually the inventory job.
Any other job ran after the workflow is also pending state and cancelled when I cancel the original workflow.

One thing that I forgot to mention too was that I already tried to delete the workflow and recrete without success.

this looks like it might be a known bug that is fixed in devel #15610. Can you get the inventory syncs to run in separate nodes in the workflow rather than in parallel? So rather than running all of the syncs at the same time, have them run one of after the other. This might get you a work around for this.

Hi @thedoubl3j , thanks for pointing this to me and yes that look like related to this issue.

I'll be updating this thread when it will be released, thank you.

Hi @thedoubl3j just a feedback that I separated the inventory nodes but I just got today the exact same issue. Seems like I'll have to wait for this fix to be released, any idea/plan is in the pipe? I know that the AWX restructuration might take some time tho.

@Julien5858 - Fix #15610 was in merged in devel, could you try using the devel version of AWX and see if that helps?
