No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

Hi,

Same issue and when I try to skip the index.html creation, no hosts matched.

$ansible -m ping all
[WARNING]: Ansible is being run in a world writable directory (/mnt/c/Splunkenizer/Vagrant/Splunkenizer), ignoring it as an ansible.cfg source. For more information see
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/config.html#cfg-in-world-writable-dir
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

How should I specify the host created with vagrant?

I'm using Vagrant and VirtualBox.

I have created a separate issue for this, since it is not related to #18.

The inventory created by vagrant looks good so far. But from the warning in your first output you can see, that ansible is ignoring the ansible.cfg file if the directory is world writable. This means it does not find the inventory which is explaining the issue. You should change the mount options like mentioned here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/config.html#cfg-in-world-writable-dir

The quicker way to resolve this issue is to clone the repository in a non windows shared location inside the WSL virtual machine. So, it should be outside of the '/mnt/c/' directory.

@JuGuSm Could you please tell me, if you were able to solve this issue?

I did not get any feedback so far. So assume this is not an issue anymore.
