Using inventory shortcut -i "host," on ansible 1.5

[Dmitry Horbach]

Hi,

I guess it has something to do with new localhost feature of ansible 1.5

In playbook with

 hosts: localhost:host

if i specify -i "host," the play will be done for both localhost and host

ok: [localhost]

ok: [oracle] 

Is there any workaround for this situation?

So in Ansible now, localhost is implicitly added to inventory.   This means you can reference it and it will work.

Now "-i host," is an ugly vestigial tail of Ansible, and I swear I want to cut it off, but I'm not willing to deal with the people that have come to rely on it being angry :)

We strongly encourage making inventory files and people should make inventory files.

That being said, what you have above works exactly the same as if you did 

[foo]

host

and did the same with regular Ansible, that was just my PSA about the evils of "-i host," and this not being specific to that :)

So yes, this works exactly as it should.   

You should defintely move to using inventory files, but "--limit hosts" should not include localhost in the above case.
