Use *ansible-inventory* and parse the inventory on your own. Given
the example from the issue
shell> cat hosts
all:
children:
NonprodAppDefault:
children:
CHG0240322:
vars:
controller_env: test
hosts:
hdqqclansiap001:
hdqqclbcbwtb001:
1) Declare the variables
inventory: "{{ out.stdout|from_yaml }}"
my_groups: {}
my_groups_0: "{{ inventory.all.children }}"
2) Parse the inventory
- command: ansible-inventory --list --yaml
register: out
gives
inventory:
all:
children:
NonprodAppDefault:
children:
CHG0240322:
hosts:
hdqqclansiap001:
controller_env: test
hdqqclbcbwtb001:
controller_env: test
ungrouped: {}
3) Create the dictionary of your groups
- set_fact:
my_groups: "{{ my_groups|
combine({item: _groups}) }}"
loop: "{{ my_groups_0.keys()|list }}"
vars:
_groups: "{{ (my_groups_0[item].children|
default({})).keys()|list }}"
gives (probably what you want)
my_groups:
NonprodAppDefault:
- CHG0240322
ungrouped: []

[ansible-project] Special variable group_names list items out of order
Hello, While searching for my use-case, I stumbled upon this issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/73208 when the explanation provided was "The group_names variable is purposefully alphanumerically sorted by name, and not sorted by definition order." However, this explanation doesn't tell me for what purpose (in my mind, I could sort the list if I needed it that way), while I would benefit of having it sorted depending on the level. Nevertheless, is there a workaround to get the list of groups on which you can rely, level-wise ?
