Hi Stefano,

Maybe you are specified the inventory on Resource Model.

Another option, add --limit=all in your extra vars like:

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Well,

this how configured the job :

and this is the ansible step extra vars :

"-i ${file.inventory.fileName}"  -e "vc_username=${option.vc_username} vc_password=${option.vc_password}"

what obtain right now is :

[WARNING]: Unable to parse /etc/ansible/ vm_hosts as an inventory source
17:12:10	[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
17:12:10	[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note
17:12:10	that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
17:12:11
17:12:11	PLAY [Create a VM from a template] *********************************************
17:12:11	skipping: no hosts matched
17:12:11
17:12:11	PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
17:12:11

Also obtain this one if i create a shell script inline

But if i run by shell works.

What im trying to implement is :

Passing via option file type the ansible inventory for provisioning multi vmware vm

This is means that ansible need to connect locally / rundeck node /localhost.

Thank you

Hi Stefano,

Check that Rundeck user can be access to Ansible config and host/groups files (check the permission)

And make sure that you've defined the hosts/groups correctly:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html#hosts-and-groups

Another tip, check that:

Hope it helps!

I fixed anything using shell scripting :)

Shouldn't need a shell script for this, just change whom the users is executing as.

ansible-playbook playme.yml --i /inventories/myinventory.yml -u USERWITHACCESS
