Hello!

I wanted to use the Scaleway inventory plugin to launch my playbook but I encounter an error with Ansible 2.6.

~ $ ansible-inventory -vvv --list -i scaleway\_inventory.yml  
ansible-inventory 2.6.0.dev0  
config file = /Users/abarbare/.ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/Users/abarbare/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-inventory  
python version = 2.7.15 (default, May 1 2018, 16:44:08) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.1)]  
Using /Users/abarbare/.ansible.cfg as config file  
ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: ‘InventoryModule’ object has no attribute ‘\_load\_name’  
the full traceback was:

AttributeError: ‘InventoryModule’ object has no attribute ‘\_load\_name’

The **init**.py file has been modified on November [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/23f8833e8745f01b490a6e12dd0f3e946d89654f](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/23f8833e8745f01b490a6e12dd0f3e946d89654f)  
Do you have some clue on the source of the issue?

Thanks,

I don’t have Scaleway to test with but I think if you remove this line: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/inventory/scaleway.py#L85](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/inventory/scaleway.py#L85) and add it here instead [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/inventory/scaleway.py#L149](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/inventory/scaleway.py#L149) it will work. The options are set in \_read\_config\_data.
