Hi,

Ansible-pull man pages states :

-i PATH, --inventory=PATH  
The PATH to the inventory hosts file. This can be a relative path within the checkout.

So I have been trying : ansible-pull -U git@mygit:ansible.git -i “inventory/” provision.yml  
It gives instantly : ERROR: Unable to find an inventory file, specify one with -i ?  
The “inventory” is a folder in my ansible.git repository wich contain ec2 inventory script and a static inventory. I have been using it without any problem in ansible “push” mode.

Is that a non supported behaviour or a bug in ansible-pull?

Thanks

It looks like the info you’re passing to the -i option ends with a directory name instead of ending with a filename.
