I am currently running on head of the development tree and am getting the following error:

“msg”: “ERROR! the field ‘args’ has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: ‘inventory\_file’ is undefined”

inventory\_directory is working just fine. Did something change or is this a bug?

Cheers,

Edgardo
