Re: [ansible-project] Dynamic Inventory does not work: it gets interpreted as .ini

[Paul Durivage]

chmod +x host.py

Ansible uses the executable flag to determine whether or not a file is a .ini or script.

Hi,

I'm trying to get the simplest Dynamic Inventory to work, but it doesn't work because Ansible interprets it as .ini : 

    $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.py play.yml

    ERROR: Invalid ini entry: sys - need more than 1 value to unpack

Here is the code in host.py:

import sys

if len(sys.argv) == 2 and (sys.argv[1] == '--list'):

    print """{

    'local': ['127.0.0.1'],

}"""

elif len(sys.argv) == 3 and (sys.argv[1] == '--host'):

    print '{}'

else:

    print "Usage: %s --list or --host <hostname>" % sys.argv[0]

    sys.exit(1)

I can run it and I am pretty sure that it returns what it should, as presented in the documentation, and according to the example there.

For the playbook, I'm also using the simplest possible. Here is play.yml:

- hosts: all

  connection: local

  tasks:

    - name: Can I run this playbook?

      debug: msg="Yes!"

It runs properly when I don't use the host.py file:

$ ansible-playbook -i 127.0.0.1, play.yml

[ output not copied here - it's all fine ! ]

(note the comma, which enables to run a playbook by directly indicating a host's address, as per here.

I'm stuck there.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
