At the time I wasn't immediately able to test the newer version James mentioned, and I worked around it soon after. So in short, no, I forgot to file anything in this case (sorry!).
How similar is your issue? (mainly curious if it is a host grouping thing, or if you're just also iterating a built in structure with with_items:) My normal "real" ec2 workflow expected Ansible to use a dynamic inventory anyway, and I'd already parameter-ized that call to allow for different inventory scripts in case I wanted to add rax support later. So what I ended up doing to get by was get help on IRC to write a simple (basically fake) dynamic inventory script for vagrant deploys that just prints out "localhost", but already a member of the groups I needed. So it's pretty much just a static inventory file in a format that is more convenient to the situation. # vagrant.py > #!/usr/bin/env python > > print '{"db": {"hosts": ["localhost"], "vars": {"ansible_connection": > "local"}}, "vagrant_dummy_group": {"hosts": ["localhost"], "vars": > {"ansible_connection": "local"}}, "web": {"hosts": ["localhost"], "vars": > {"ansible_connection": "local"}}}' > > Thanks, Mark On Monday, March 24, 2014 1:58:12 PM UTC-5, Matt Coddington wrote: > > Hi Mark/James, > Do you guys know if there was a bug filed on this?
