Bug Summary

Hello. Sorry for my bad English

1. Run docker-compose-mac.yml

2. Created a project

rulebooks/nothing.yml:

---
- name: Nothing
  hosts: all
  sources:
    - ansible.eda.range:
        limit: 5
  rules:
    - name: Nothing
      condition: event.i == 1
      action:
        run_playbook:
          name: playbooks/nothing.yml
          copy_files: true

playbooks/nothing.yml:

---
- name: Nothing
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Nothing
      meta: noop

inventory/hosts.yml:

---
all:
  hosts:
    localhost:
      ansible_connection: local

3. In the logs I see:

@gurv run-playbook can only be used when using ansible-rulebook CLI it can't be used when run as an Activation from eda-server. When run from eda-server we only support run_job_template so you would need a different rulebook. e.g. https://github.com/ansible/event-driven-ansible/blob/main/extensions/eda/rulebooks/demo_controller_rulebook.yml
