tripleo-validation --static-inventory parameter not working.

[Sofer Athlan-Guyot]

Hi,

In the help we have this:

  --static-inventory STATIC_INVENTORY
                        Provide your own static inventory file. You can
                        generate such an inventory calling tripleo-ansible-
                        inventory command. Especially useful when heat service
                        isn't available. (default: )

for the tripleo validator run command.

But, it doesn't work as expected. Static-inventory take a "string inventory" not an inventory file path.

This can be seen in the following command:

Using a file path:

[stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ openstack --os-cloud undercloud tripleo validator run --group no-op --static-inventory ./inventory.yaml

fails:

[WARNING]: Unable to parse /var/log/validations/artifacts/d2c68242-7865-41ef-
aacf-5b519e26328f_no-op.yaml_2021-01-19T17:23:28.604267Z/inventory.yaml as an
inventory source
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

Using an "inventory string":

openstack --os-cloud undercloud tripleo validator run --group no-op --static-inventory "$(cat ./inventory.yaml )"

works:

CLI refactoring fixed this issue for the VF.
As such it is no longer relevant.
