ansible-runner use of /etc/ansible

[Weatherby,Gerard]

If I’m understanding the ansible-runner documentation correctly, it does not use /etc/ansible but requires a directory structure set up in a particular way.

If that is correct, is there a tool that converts /etc/ansible into the required directory structure?

I never use /etc/ansible, but an inventory local to my playbook and a custom ansible.cfg.

Not exactly. ansible-runner is a wrapper of *ansible* and
*ansible-playbook*
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/blob/devel/ansible_runner/runner_config.py#L61
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/blob/devel/ansible_runner/runner_config.py#L170
"""
Performs basic checks and then properly invokes
- prepare_inventory
- prepare_env
- prepare_command
It's also responsible for wrapping the command with the
proper ssh agent invocation and setting early ANSIBLE_
environment variables. """

This means, /etc/ansible is used by *ansible* and *ansible-playbook*
in the context of additional configuration by ansible-wrapper.

For example, ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK is limited to *minimal* and
*awx_display* only.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/blob/devel/ansible_runner/runner_config.py#L227

if 'AD_HOC_COMMAND_ID' in self.env:
self.env['ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK'] = 'minimal'
else:
self.env['ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK'] = 'awx_display'

IMHO, the source runner_config.py is the only relevant reference to
resolve issues.
