Re: [ansible-project] Using group_vars with dynamic inventory groups

[Brian Coca]

for static groups vars to be loaded try adding the group in a static
file also, even if just empty.

static_inventory:

[test_env_test]

[ddffgpmfn]

added line to "./inventory/test/test" as suggested:

[local]

localhost target_environment="test" dev_key="aws-xxx"

[tag_env_test]

No change. Variable is still not defined.

​What Brian suggested should IIRC not be needed. The host/group_vars are loaded after all InventoryParsers are done.

Which ansible version are you using?​

 

​I think that was a bug in 1.7, solved in 1.8, not sure if backported.​

[ddffgpmfn]

$ ansible --version

ansible 1.8.2

  configured module search path = None

$ ansible-playbook --version

ansible-playbook 1.8.2

  configured module search path = None

Is there anything else I can show to work out whether I have made a mistake or there is a bug?

Perhaps if you could put a minimal example in a gist, that reproduces this?​

Edited out a proof of concept from the repo:

​I'm afraid I don't have any AWS credentials to test this.

Can you perhaps provide the plain json dump​ - can be redacted?

[ddffgpmfn]

Are you looking for the output of the config playbook with -vvvv?

​no the output of your inventory plugin, which is json​
