Unable to parse

Hello,
Terraform 0.12.17
Ansible 2.9.6

ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/terraform.py play/test.yml
 [WARNING]:  * Failed to parse /etc/ansible/terraform.py with script plugin: Inventory script (/etc/ansible/terraform.py) had an execution error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Already do chmod +x

Part of my tfstate:

      "mode": "managed",
      "type": "ansible_host",
      "name": "wordpress01",
      "provider": "provider.ansible",
      "instances": [
        {
          "schema_version": 0,
          "attributes": {
            "groups": [
              "wordpress"
            ],
            "id": "wordpress01",
            "inventory_hostname": "wordpress01",
            "variable_priority": 50,
            "vars": {
              "ansible_connection": "lxd"
            }
          }

Where is my error?

chmod +x would have been my first guess, but I see you've tried that.

For some reason, Ansible is trying to parse the script as an inventory file. That would seem to suggest that it wasn't able to execute it, despite the permissions setting you already tried.

Try executing the script yourself, ie ./terraform.py from Bash or other shell. It should spit out some Ansible inventory JSON. Or, if there's an error that might help you figure out what's wrong.

Hello,
I found something about my mistake.

When:
ansible -i inventories/betatest/terraform.py -m ping all
I have the parse error.
When:
cd inventories/betatest/terraform.py
and
ansible -i inventories/betatest/terraform.py -m ping all

Tadaaaa:

mariadb-master | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
redis01 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
wordpress01 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
haproxy01 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

It's works!

I need to be in the same directory.

So if I want to play a playbook, like:
ansible-playbook -i inventories/betatest/terraform.py play/test.yml I have the parse error.

How I can do to use terraform.py with differents directories? Because I need to change inventory.

inventories/
`-- betatest
    |-- group_vars
    |   `-- all.yml
    |-- host_vars
    |   `-- host01.yml
    |-- terraform.py
    `-- terraform.tfstate
-- betatest1
    |-- group_vars
    |   `-- all.yml
    |-- host_vars
    |   `-- host01.yml
    |-- terraform.py
    `-- terraform.tfstate
-- betatest2
    |-- group_vars
    |   `-- all.yml
    |-- host_vars
    |   `-- host01.yml
    |-- terraform.py
    `-- terraform.tfstate

Thanks

Perhaps it's trying to run it, and falls back to reading the file when it fails. I can't recall if that's how it behaved when I was developing it.

I think what you want is to set the Terraform project path. There's an override for that as an environment variable. See the README for details. https://github.com/nbering/terraform-inventory#ansible_tf_dir

Thansk, that is!
But how to fix configuration of terraform.py to not have to add each time ANSIBLE_TF_DIR=blablablablabla ansible -i terraform.py -m ping all
Thanks

[fred-gb]

Finally, I change string in terraform.py
TERRAFORM_DIR = os.environ.get('ANSIBLE_TF_DIR', '/full/path/to/workdir/')
And it's works!

That'll work, assuming you don't need to update it. Personally, I use direnv to manage my project-specific environment variables.
