trying using ec2 module from python but inventory is missing

[paweł kamiński]

hi,

I tried to find similar problem on this forum or through google but I was redirected to ansible cmd.

I am writing python tool that can modify ec2 resources. I started with sec groups. here is sample code I try to execute

properties = {}
runner = ansible.Runner(
 module_name="ec2_group",

 complex_args={

    "rules": properties["rules"],

    "rules_egress": properties["rules_egress"],
    "vpc_id": properties["vpcId"],
    "name": properties["name"],
    "description": properties["descr"]

 },
 forks=10,
 inventory=Inventory("local_action")
)


return runner.run()

off course it fails with ansible.errors.AnsibleError: Unable to find an inventory file, specify one with -i which would probably make sense when run directly using ansible cli, but I have no idea how I should code it from python.

the documentation or examples are non-existence or it is very hard to find them

here is a role part from my yaml file

---
	# This role will create security groups
	- name: Create security group for elb
	local_action:
	module: ec2_group
	name: "{{ app_name }}-sec"
	description: "{{ app_name }} Sec Group"
	region: "{{ region }}"
	vpc_id: "{{ vpc_id }}"
	rules:
	- proto: tcp
	from_port: 80
	to_port: 80
	cidr_ip: 0.0.0.0/0
	rules_egress:
	- proto: all
	cidr_ip: 0.0.0.0/0
	register: app_sec
	tags:
	- sec     - other-tag

can someone point me in any direction? any tips will be much appropriated

I am really frustrated :)
running playbook from terminal would be something like

ansible-playbook -i stage defienition.yml --private-key=~/.ssh/key.pem

where stage is a directory containing hosts file containing

[local]
127.0.0.1

I keep trying change my previous code

runner = ansible.Runner(
 module_name="ec2_group",
 complex_args={
    "rules": properties["rules"],
    "rules_egress": properties["rules_egress"],
    "vpc_id": properties["vpcId"],
    "name": properties["name"],
    "description": properties["descr"]
 },

 forks=paralel,
 private_key_file="~/.ssh/office.pem",
 inventory=Inventory(["127.0.0.1"])
)
return runner.run()

which gives me (a bit better) error

{'dark': {'127.0.0.1': {'msg': 'SSH Error: Permission denied (publickey,password).\n    while connecting to 127.0.0.1:22\nIt is sometimes useful to re-run the command using -vvvv, which prints SSH debug output to help diagnose the issue.', 'failed': True}}, 'contacted': {}}

I guess I need to specify that module is run in local_action context

OOOk I figure it out,

properties = {}
runner = ansible.Runner(
 module_name="ec2_group",

 complex_args={
    "rules": properties["rules"],
    "rules_egress": properties["rules_egress"],
    "vpc_id": properties["vpcId"],
    "name": properties["name"],
    "description": properties["descr"]
 },
 forks=10,

 inventory=Inventory(["127.0.0.1"]),
 transport="local"
)
