No inventory was parsed

[vasanth G]

Hi Racuna,

     I created a project named test_rundeck and added source by using ec2 plugin.

     in my node area, i got two nodes(by using private ip filtering. for ex:10.10.10.11,10.10.10.12).

     In my aws testmachine, I have ansible  script into testproject folder. There I have the below files.

• hosts
  
• group_vars/all.yml
  
• main.yml
  

 In the host file I put only one node.(private ip. this node is same as one of the node what I get by ec2 plugin in rundeck. for ex:10.10.10.11)

Afterthat I created a job into test_rundeck name test_job.

This job step is ansible workflow node step. Here I mentioned main.yml path. And passed extra-argument as -i /etc/ansible/tetsproject/host.

    But I got the below Error.

Here my doubt is, is it possible to get the nodes from ec2 plugin and run ansible script.? If yes, how can I?

    In other words, I don't want to use my ansible inventory hosts But run the ansible main.yml script(need group_vars/all.yml). I wants to use the inventory as source nodes(What I got from rundeck aws ec2 plugin) in rundeck.

Hi Vasantha,

Seems that your host file is unreadable, check the permissions of /etc/ansible/tetsproject/host file, ensure that 'rundeck' user can reach it.

About use nodes of EC2 plugin you have a 'tricky' option to play using and the ec2.py script (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ansible/ansible/devel/contrib/inventory/ec2.py).

Basically, the idea is create a script that using the ec2.py to make the resource model file and make that Ansible plugin can get this from Inventory.
