Hi, I am trying to use ansible-pull, however when i run it it always skips the hosts with the message " skippig: no hosts matched" unless i use hosts: 127.0.0.1 in the local.yml file, any other host name even though it is defined in both the /etc/hosts and /etc/ansible/hosts will not work, but skips, i also tried to pass the inventory using -i hosts/pull.ini again it did not work, What am i doing wrong, or how can investigate the reason of skipping further, i am using ansible 1.5 my pull command is ansible-pull -d /tmp/mygitrepo -U MyGITURL my simple play starts with: ---

Probably a hostname that might not line up with inventory. Look around in /usr/bin/ansible-pull and there isn’t too much there, should be straightforward to debug. Let us know if you get stuck! ---

I did yum update on the server that was not working, it is release 5.3, and now it is working, i will keep an eye on it as we do have other nodes with 5.3 not updated. and will pinpoint it down now that i know it is package version issue ---
