Bug Summary

I have a new instance of AWX deployed via helm chart on RKE2.

when running jobs I get the following error:

Failed to JSON parse a line from worker stream. Error: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Line with invalid JSON data: b''

however when looking at the logs in the job's pod I see the full playbook ran and succeeded. Is there some setting I've missed that causes the logs to not be able to be read?

I ran the job about 10 times, and in one case the logs did populate.

Steps to reproduce

• import playbooks from git repo
• run playbook
• see error in AWX

I'd expect AWX to read the logs from the job pod
