By way of explanation here's a simple reproducer.
- The Inventory is a directory containing two files - each one contains
one group and one host
# inventory/poc-app
[poc-app]
host1
# inventory/poc-db
[poc-db]
host2
- A playbook is created to run a couple of roles for each
---
# poc.yml
- hosts: poc-app
sudo: yes
roles:
- common
- poc
- hosts: poc-db
sudo: yes
roles:
- common
- poc
- A quick test shows I can see both hosts in both groups from the
playbook
$ ansible-playbook poc.yml --list-hosts
playbook: poc.yml
play #1 (poc-app): host count=1
host1
play #2 (poc-db): host count=1
host2
- So, now I want to nest those groups into another group, so I create a
third file
# inventory/poc
[poc:children]
poc-app
poc-db
- And repeat my test
$ ansible-playbook poc.yml --list-hosts
ERROR: child group is not defined: (poc-app)
:-(
That's not what I'm expecting to happen. The docs say that all the files
are merged together into a single inventory. Even the pre-release of the "
*AnsibleUp and Running*" book says the same thing on the very last page.
Am I making a fundamental mistake here? I'm kind of relying on this to
work to fit what I want to do in real life.
