Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
There is currently a known issue in which the OpenStack `tripleo validator run` command produces errors. In the command output the Status_by_Host column contains the value, 'No host matched'. This error occurs with all `openstack validator run` calls because no ansible inventory was available for the undercloud and is not limited to a single validator group. This error also impacts overcloud validations. The root cause of this is a regression in the tripleo client code where tripleo-ansible-inventory is no longer called in real time. + As a result, in updates to Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) 16.2, the `tripleo validator run --group pre-introspection` command fails on all tests. + Workaround: create a file called inventory.yaml by manually running `tripleo-ansible-inventory --static-yaml-inventory inventory.yaml`. Then, run the validation using the `-i inventory.yaml` argument: + ---- # tripleo-ansible-inventory --static-yaml-inventory inventory.yaml # openstack tripleo validator run --group pre-introspection -i inventory.yaml ---- + For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6895151[openstack tripleo validator run command produces error].

Description David Vallee Delisle 2022-02-04 15:33:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since 16.2.2, it looks like tripleo validator run doesn't generate the inventory on the fly anymore when the default inventory isn't found

Comment 1 Cédric Jeanneret 2022-02-16 08:33:49 UTC 
Hello there,

IMHO best way to correct this issue:

- in tripleoclient, add a new parameter, like "--inventory-file", defaulting to something sensible, such as "~/tripleo-deploy/STACK_NAME/tripleo-ansible-inventory.yaml" - STACK_NAME may default to "overcloud", or "undercloud"
- in VF itself, check for the availability of the inventory_file, and crash if it's absent

Note:
the path is for osp-17, maybe another value would be needed for 16.2? In any cases, 16.2 may require a doc update in order to instruct Operator to generate the inventory before running validations - this is already a known step for FFU (I don't remember which one, probably 13->16, but you'd need someone from Upgrades to get that precision).

I'll let the VF folks decide if this is good for them, and implement the proper solution.

Cheers,

C.
