Issue trying to parse tag

Hi,

I am currently trying to connect to a newly created ec2 instance via a tag that I created, but I am getting an error during the run:

setting up inventory plugins
host_list declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method
script declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method
auto declined parsing /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method

Parsed /Users/christiandelpino/stash-infra-shared/modules/aws/k8s/k8s-ansible/hosts/hosts inventory source with ini plugin
META: inventory successfully refreshed

PLAY [Init] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: no hosts matched

The tag I am trying to connect to is init. My deploy task looks like this:

  • name: Build out AWS Infrastructure
    hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: False
    roles:

  • role: aws

  • name: Refresh Inventory
    hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: False
    tasks:

  • name: Refresh ec2 cache
    command: hosts/ec2.py --refresh-cache

  • name: Refresh in-memory EC2 cache
    meta: refresh_inventory

  • name: Init
    hosts: tag_type_init
    gather_facts: false
    remote_user: ubuntu
    roles:

  • role: init

When running verbose, I do see tag_type_init with the IP:

" "tag_type_init": [“,
" "3.17.77.3"”,
" ],",

This is the exact ansible command being run:

ansible-playbook --private-key …/…/…/…/…/Downloads/XXXXXX.pem deploy.yaml --inventory=hosts/hosts

I can provide further info if needed.

Thanks in advance.
