ansible-playbook INVENTORY_ANY_UNPARSED_IS_FAILED not working

[fweep]

SUMMARY

The configuration option INVENTORY_ANY_UNPARSED_IS_FAILED appears to have no effect. I get a warning from ansible-playbook that it was unable to parse the inventory source, but no error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_ANY_UNPARSED_IS_FAILED=1 ansible-playbook -i INVALID ansible/playbook.yml

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expect this to behave just like ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_UNPARSED_FAILED (which I'll note is asymmetrically-named as there is no IS).

ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_UNPARSED_FAILED=1 ansible-playbook -i INVALID ansible/playbook.yml

[WARNING]: Unable to parse /Users/jim/src/example.com/INVALID as an inventory source
ERROR! No inventory was parsed, please check your configuration and options.

ACTUAL RESULTS

[WARNING]: Unable to parse /Users/jim/src/example.com/INVALID as an inventory source
[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'
[WARNING]: Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: controller

PLAY [controller] ********************************************************************************************
skipping: no hosts matched

PLAY RECAP ***************************************************************************************************

It should fail here as well.

It seems that a missing inventory, is not the same thing as an inventory that cannot be parsed.

[s-hertel]

It looks like INVENTORY_ANY_UNPARSED_IS_FAILED only works if a plugin fails while parsing it (and not when all plugins rejects the source before trying to parse it). I think this line should be changed to if not parsed:.

@fweep Could you please check if PR #73160 works for you?

It works for me -

# ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_ANY_UNPARSED_IS_FAILED=1 ansible-playbook -i INVALID debug.yml
[WARNING]:  * Failed to parse /Volumes/data/src/playbooks/INVALID with yaml plugin: Plugin
configuration YAML file, not YAML inventory
[WARNING]:  * Failed to parse /Volumes/data/src/playbooks/INVALID with ini plugin: Invalid
host pattern 'plugin:' supplied, ending in ':' is not allowed, this character is reserved to
provide a port.
ERROR! Completely failed to parse inventory source /Volumes/data/src/playbooks/INVALID
