Can you send the output from the Jenkins job run?

Also, can you confirm that you have the extra vars "prompt on launch" box is checked in Ansible Tower?

johnwestcottiv thanks for quick reply. Seems that this was a user error. I was not aware that the extra vars "prompt on launch" box needs to checked in Ansible Tower in order to pass the vars via API.

It may be a good idea to add that information into the "help ( )" field in the plugin's job box.

Thanks for the follow up. I'll add a task for indicating that in the help entries. In addition, there should be a message in the jenkins job logs like:

[WARNING]: Extra variables defined but prompt for variables on launch is not set in tower job

Can you test the 0.8.2 to validate that the notes now indicate that prompt on launch is required for the settings to take affect?
