I am trying to use gcp\_compute plugin to execute playbook but I am updating the list of project id’s here at run time dynamically. But while running (ansible-inventory --list -i $ANSIBLE\_DIRECTORY/envs/$ENVIRONMENT/$ANSIBLE\_PLATFORM/inventory.gcp.yml) getting following error “[compute.googleapis.com](http://compute.googleapis.com) not enabled”. But I want to skip the particular project from the list if that api is not enabled rather then error. How I can achieve?

inventory.gcp.yaml:

plugin: gcp\_compute  
projects:

- test-a
- test-b

auth\_kind: application  
hostnames:

- name  
filters:
- labels.environment\_name = “development”
