[ansible-project] accessing localhost with dynamic hosts for limited tasks

I'm trying to access localhost when i specify other remote hosts (using ec2 dynamic inventory but not sure if that matters). But i get this: PLAY *** skipping: no hosts matched Trying to figure out if its an access thing

[ansible-project] localhost for limited roles while still using hosts:all for the rest

I have a playbook that will update the local source code for my web project and then it will deploy it to remote servers. Everything works when i run it locally on OS X, but when i try to run from the deployment server (aws linux) I get no matching host errors I'm a little confused at why it
