Description Jiri Podivin 2022-02-21 15:02:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

During the testing of BZ#1974353 a new error was encountered caused by erroneous inventory generation by the tripleo-ansible-inventory script.

The resulting inventory contains circular reference to a group, making it invalid. This forces mistral to fallback on YAML/JSON parsing, which leads to exceptions as a python script is not a YAML nor JSON.

This is possibly another manifestation of the BZ#1887444 .

Trace:
------
 Failed to parse /usr/bin/tripleo-ansible-inventory with script\nplugin: can't add group to itself\n[WARNING]:  * Failed to parse /usr/bin/tripleo-ansible-inventory with yaml\nplugin: We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors we\ngot from each: JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column
