Hi all,

I have a little problem.

The vmware\_inventory.py work for my dynamic inventory of vmware.

But when i try my playbook ping.yml , that not loads the inventory.

ansible-playbook ping.yml -i ‘/etc/ansible/modules/inventory/wmware/vmware\_inventory.py’

I have this error:

[WARNING]: \* Failed to parse /etc/ansible/modules/inventory/wmware/vmware\_inventory.py with script plugin: problem running /etc/ansible/modules/inventory/wmware/vmware\_inventory.py --list ([Errno 13]  
Permission denied)

[WARNING]: \* Failed to parse /etc/ansible/modules/inventory/wmware/vmware\_inventory.py with ini plugin: /etc/ansible/modules/inventory/wmware/vmware\_inventory.py:25: Error parsing host definition ‘“”"’:

[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

[WARNING]: Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: all

Can you help me ?

Thx 😉
