How to get inventory path in call back plugin:

I found this, however it is not working

| 

def v2\_playbook\_on\_start(self, playbook):

 |
| | 
# On Ansible v2, Ansible doesn’t set `self.playbook` automatically
 |
| | 

self.playbook = playbook

 |
| | |
| | 

playbook\_file\_name = self.playbook.\_file\_name

 |
| | 

inventory = self.\_options.inventory

 |
| | |
| | 

self.start\_timer()

 |
| | |
| | 
# Set the playbook name from its filename
 |
| | 

self.\_playbook\_name, \_ = os.path.splitext(

 |
| | 

os.path.basename(playbook\_file\_name))

 |
| | 

if isinstance(inventory, list):

 |
| | 

inventory = ‘,’.join(inventory)

 |
| | 

self.\_inventory\_name = ‘,’.join([os.path.basename(os.path.realpath(name)) for name in inventory.split(‘,’) if name])

 |

In short, is there a way to check which parameter is used for what in v2\_playbook\_on\_start(self, playbook):
