Failed to load inventory plugin, skipping google.cloud.gcp_compute ansible pluggin

Hi guys!

When i execute a pipeline on my jenkins to run an ansible-playbook command and an inventory yml file with this ansible plugin google.cloud.gcp_compute i recived this error:

[WARNING]: Failed to load inventory plugin, skipping google.cloud.gcp_compute

But if i execute same ansible-playbook command in CLI output is OK.

My config:

ansible-playbook [core 2.15.3]

config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [‘/var/lib/jenkins/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible ansible collection location = /home/ansible/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/, /var/lib/jenkins/.ansible/collections executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook python version = 3.11.5 (main, Sep 22 2023, 15:34:29) [GCC 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-20)] (/usr/bin/python3.11) jinja version = 3.1.2 libyaml = True

Thanks in advance!
Regards!

try running `ansible-doc -t inventory -l` both ways, I suspect jenkins
is not setup to see the installed collection.

Hi,

here output of the command, sustituted by my ansible-palybook command, that you said:

…

Thanks!!

if that is the full output, we seem to be missing the google inventory
plugin, so clearly jenkins cannot see it, make sure it is installed in
one of the configured paths for the Jenkin's Ansible. You can also use
ansible-galaxy to list/install the collections to ensure it is
present.

Brian,

The collections were installed.
On CLI with ansible user execution is correct but with jenkins pipeline not.

ansible collection location = /home/ansible/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/, /var/lib/jenkins/.ansible/collections
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook

I had installed now Ansible plugin on Jenkin and set path where executables ansible are located and i see same situation.
name: ansible-playbook
path instalation: /usr/bin

thanks!

I don't know, that is a 'jenkins plugin' question, i can only assert
that the way they execute Ansible is not picking up the collections
you installed, probably due to some configuration it injects.

Thanks for ur support Brian!!
