Image inspection fails in actions workflow

[cloin]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

I am using github actions to build images and want to use ansible-navigator images to create a build artifact. When I try to do this, I get an error:

Image introspection failed, please check the logs and log an issue. 
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

ANSIBLE-NAVIGATOR VERSION

ansible-navigator 3.5.0

CONFIGURATION

No valid settings file found, using all default values for settings.

I'm using a github actions workflow to successfully build the images and I'm using the following step to try to inspect the built images:

      - name: test ansible-navigator command
        run: |
          ansible-navigator --version
          podman images
          ansible-navigator images -m stdout
          ansible-navigator images localhost/${{ env.EE }}:${{ github.sha }} -d ansible_collections -m stdout --ll debug --ee false

podman images:

LOG FILE

github action step output: https://gist.github.com/cloin/1e21b21aee3f903816ebcb912915766d

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Build definitions for this EE, base-de, available here: https://github.com/cloin/ee-builds/tree/main/base-de

Also occurs with other EE buids. I haven't gotten any to work yet.

As an alternative, I'm just using podman commands:

podman run -it ${{ env.EE }}:${{ env.IMAGE_TAG }} ansible --version  >> $COMMANDS_FILE
podman run -it ${{ env.EE }}:${{ env.IMAGE_TAG }} ansible-galaxy collection list  >> $COMMANDS_FILE

Have you tried building the image directly with ansible-builder instead? This seems like it is likely to be an issue in builder and not navigator's wrapping of it.
