Quoting from *Special variables*:
"inventory_dir: The directory of the inventory source in which the
inventory_hostname was first defined"
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/special_variables.html#special-variables
The inventory hostname *localhost* hasn't been defined in any inventory
source hence *inventory_dir* is undefined.
It can be fixed for example by putting *localhost* into the *inventoryfile*
inventory file:
localhost
[master]
192.168.0.1
[all:vars]
host_yum_repos_file_path="{{inventory_dir}}/resources/yumrepos"
# (closing quotation is missing in the example)
