SUMMARY
ansible-inventory is supposed to return JSON...
but it does not when installing anisble@devel, and running a GCE inventory update with this gcp_compute.yml to use the gcp inventory plugin:
auth_kind: serviceaccount
filters: null
plugin: gcp_compute
projects:
- myproject
service_account_file: creds.json

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Create gcp_comput.yml and creds.json to access your gcp account
- Create python36 venv
- install anisble@stable-2.8
- run
ansible-inventory -i gcp_compute.yml --list > ouput.28 - Inspect the output, see that it is valid JSON.
- install ansible@devel
- run
ansible-inventory -i gcp_compute.yml --list > ouput.devel - Inspect output, see that before the part that starts the JSON that looks like:
{
"_meta": {
"hostvars": {
there is a bug chunk of key/value pairs in a list:
[{'key': 'blahkey', 'value': 'blahvalue}, {'key': 'ssh-keys', 'value': 'somebody's key'} {'key': 'more keys', 'value': 'more values' ...... ]
EXPECTED RESULTS
JSON
ACTUAL RESULTS
List of key/value pairs then regular json ouput
This is a tower blocker for the next release of ansible.
