i try to run ansible playbooks directly from python code with a netbox dynamic inventory.
I have a netbox instance running locally and a netbox_inventory.yml file with the following content:
plugin: netbox.netbox.nb_inventory
api_endpoint: http://localhost:8000
token: 1bfa5d67dc4bf2f7d3ed967e956fba7831bab84c
validate_certs: False
config_context: False
group_by:
- device_roles
device_query_filters:
- has_primary_ip: 'true'
In my testcase i use the following code to run a playbook:
import ansible_runner
r = ansible_runner.run(private_data_dir=".", playbook='test.yml', inventory="netbox_inventory.yml", verbosity=5)
print(r.status)
print(r.rc)
print(r.events)
print(r.stats)
I always got no host back because he can not parse the inventory file. If i try to do an ansible-inventory -i netbox_inventory.yml --list it works like a charm.
The response of the python script is:

I expect that i can also use a dynamic inventory with the ansible runner. I already verified that the dynamic inventory delivers data with ansible-inventory -i netbox_inventory.yml --list
