ISSUE TYPE
  • Feature Idea
SUMMARY

Trying to use AWX to call back to TeamCity to finish agentless builds. The callback URL must include an AWX extra_var. Would like a way to template the Target URL so it could contain the passed in build number. For example:

http://<teamcity.url>/app/rest/builds/id:<build_id>/log

Would also be great if the basic auth credentials could be templated from extra_vars as well, since TeamCity generates temp credentials on each job run and passes them to the AWX server as extra_vars also.

Research direction
Review the AWX notification system code (e.g., awx/main/models/notifications.py) to understand how notification templates are currently processed. Identify where the target URL is constructed and how extra vars are accessible. Consider adding a template evaluation step using Django's template engine or Jinja2 before sending the notification. Also assess the feasibility of templating the basic auth credentials. Look at any related issues or PRs in the repository.
