Tower API Error When Removing Host From Inventory

Not sure if this is a bug or not but I thought I’d see if anyone else has tried this and experienced the same issue. I’m attempting to use the Tower API to add and remove hosts from a temp static inventory. Adding hosts works fine, but when I try to remove that same host, I get the following JSON output error: “"id" field must be an integer.”

`

  • name: Get host ID

uri:
url: https://tower/api/v2/inventories/18/hosts/
method: GET
body_format: json
force_basic_auth: yes
user: “{{ tower_user }}”
password: “{{ tower_pass }}”
validate_certs: no
status_code: 200
register: host_list
when: inventory_action == ‘Remove Host’

  • name: Remove server from, Tower inventory
    uri:
    url: https://tower/api/v2/inventories/18/hosts/
    method: POST
    body:
    id: “{{ host_id[0] | int }}”
    disassociate: true
    body_format: json
    force_basic_auth: yes
    user: “{{ tower_user }}”
    password: “{{ tower_pass }}”
    validate_certs: no
    status_code: 204
    when: inventory_action == ‘Remove Host’

`

Here’s the JSON output when it fails:

I’ve tried converting host_id to int but that doesn’t resolve the issue. host_name and inventory_action are inherited from a Tower survey. Tower version 3.5, Ansible version 2.8.3

try this:

id: “{{ host_id[0] | int * 1 }}”
