Experiencing an error with the infra.controller_configuration.license module.

Summary

Experiencing an error with the infra.controller_configuration.license module.

When running my playbook, it updates the manifest with the file specified but it is continuing to attempt to get subscriptions with a filter and then install them as well. If I remove the subscriptions username/password from the vars it works but if I add them it continues to attempt both methods of licensing tasks.

Desired Behavior

Either the manifest is uploaded or the subscriptions are searched for and allocated but not both.

Actual Behavior

The specified manifest is uploaded but it continues to attempt to register subscriptions with username/password.

[djdanielsson]

It chooses based off what variables are provided, because you provide both it tries to use both

Understood, just wanted to let you know in the case this behavior wasn’t intentional.

I’ll close it in this case.
