Issue trying to parse tag

[Christian Del Pino]

Hi,

I am currently trying to connect to a newly created ec2 instance via a tag that I created, but I am getting an error during the run:

setting up inventory plugins

host_list declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method

script declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method

auto declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method

Set default localhost to localhost

Parsed /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts inventory source with ini plugin

META: inventory successfully refreshed

META: ran handlers

META: ran handlers

PLAY [Init] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

skipping: no hosts matched

The tag I am trying to connect to is init. My deploy task looks like this:

- name: Build out AWS Infrastructure

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  gather_facts: False

  roles:

    - role: aws

- name: Refresh Inventory

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

    - name: Refresh ec2 cache

      command: hosts/ec2.py --refresh-cache

    - name: Refresh in-memory EC2 cache

      meta: refresh_inventory

- name: Init

  hosts: tag_type_init

  gather_facts: false

  remote_user: ubuntu

  roles:

    - role: init

When running verbose, I do see tag_type_init with the IP:

        "  \"tag_type_init\": [",

        "    \"3.17.77.3\"",

        "  ],",

This is the exact ansible command being run:

ansible-playbook --private-key ../../../../../Downloads/XXXXXX.pem  deploy.yaml --inventory=hosts/hosts

I can provide further info if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Here, you're referencing hosts/ec2.py

 

This is the exact ansible command being run:

ansible-playbook --private-key ../../../../../Downloads/XXXXXX.pem  deploy.yaml --inventory=hosts/hosts

But here, you're only using hosts/hosts. refresh_inventory is not going to magically load inventories that aren't in use, so (as the playbook output shows) you're only getting the static hosts in hosts/hosts.

So what is the best way to get the details of a new instance using tags, or is another method recommended?

Thanks.

...use the correct set of inventories with your playbook?

Thanks, but I'll abandon this idea and go for:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/inventory/aws_ec2.html

since Ansible has been promoting the inventory plugin ecosystem.
