Hi, I got this error

My .ansible.cfg file's content like this:

That looks like an inventory syntax vs an ansible config syntax.

I fixed it.

First of all I created a hosts file in /etc/ansible

then I run this command in main path

ansible-config init --disabled all > .ansible.cfg

next I added to .ansible.cfg file this line:

nventory = /etc/ansible/hosts

finally I could list my hosts.

Thanks.
