According to the docs (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#ansible-configuration-settings-locations), Ansible is supposed to use ansible.cfg from the current directory as the second option if the env var ANSIBLE_CONFIG isn't defined. However it doesn't appear to be working for me.
I'm in the process of creating a collection and I have a virtual env set up in the current directory, with Ansible 2.9 installed. When I run Ansible however, it is going straight to the .ansible.cfg file in my user's home directory and ignores the ansible.cfg file I created in the collection dir. The folder layout is as follows: ansible.cfg docs env galaxy.yml hosts.yml playbooks plugins README.md requirements.txt roles My venv is enabled and when I run ansible it shows the following: (env) root@DESKTOP-JH6A27J:~/work/knightsg/dkron# ansible --version ansible 2.9.9 config file = /root/.ansible.cfg configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /mnt/c/Users/guy/Documents/Work/knightsg/ dkron/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible executable location = /mnt/c/Users/guy/Documents/Work/knightsg/dkron/env/ bin/ansible python version = 3.6.5 (default, May 3 2018, 10:08:28) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] As you can see, it's using /root/.ansible.cfg. If I supply ANSIBLE_CONFIG then it uses the ansible.cfg file in the current folder: (env) root@DESKTOP-JH6A27J:~/work/knightsg/dkron# ANSIBLE_CONFIG=./ansible.cfg ansible --version ansible 2.9.9 config file = /mnt/c/Users/guy/Documents/Work/knightsg/dkron/ansible.cfg configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /mnt/c/Users/guy/Documents/Work/knightsg/ dkron/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible executable location = /mnt/c/Users/guy/Documents/Work/knightsg/dkron/env/ bin/ansible python version = 3.6.5 (default, May 3 2018, 10:08:28) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] Any idea why Ansible isn't selecting the correct config file by default?
