I'm trying to get a list of Ubuntu instances from a GCE project. This is 
what my inventory file looks like.

plugin: gcp_compute
projects:
 - <project-name>
filters: 
  - disks.licenses:ubuntu
auth_kind: serviceaccount
service_account_file: ~/google_cloud/service_account/key/<filename>.json


I have referred to this page for the gcp_compute 
plugin: 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/inventory/gcp_compute.html
And when it refers to filters, the documentation links to this 
page: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances/list

When I run:
gcloud compute instances list --filter="(disks.licenses:ubuntu)" --format=
json
... it works just fine and only returns Ubuntu instances.

However, running
ansible-inventory -i <filename>.gcp.yml --list
... with the "disks.licenses:ubuntu:" filter returns the following:

*[WARNING]:  * Failed to parse 
/Users/username/.ansible/inventory/<filename>.gcp.yml with yaml plugin: 
Plugin configuration YAML file, not YAML inventory*

* [WARNING]:  * Failed to parse

* [WARNING]: Unable to parse

* [WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available*

   "_meta": {

       "hostvars": {}

   },

   "all": {

       "children": [

           "ungrouped"

       ]

   },

   "ungrouped": {}

}

Has anyone been able to resolve this sort of issue before? If so, what did 
you do?
