Hello @Ksahil 

ansible-navigator.yml is the configuration file for Ansible Navigator. It controls the behaviour of the Ansible Navigator CLI Tool. 

"ansible-navigator run" expects you to pass a playbook to run. You are trying to run the configuration file itself, which cannot work.

Additionally, it looks like your ansible-navigator.yml config file is also wrong. Please check the below link to rectify

Hi @Ksahil 

I think the error occurs because ansible-navigator.yml is a configuration file for ansible-navigator, not a playbook. Use ansible-navigator run <playbook._name.yml> to run a playbook, not ansible-playbook ansible-navigator.yml.

Hi @shashi01 ,

As you said the same output is getting from the below command.

[redhat@server ~]$ ansible-navigator run ansible-navigator.yml
[redhat@server ~]$

@Ksahil 

As already mentioned, use ansible-navigator run playbook. Understand that ansible-navigator.yml configures the behavior of ansible-navigator and is not intended to be executed directly. Use it to customize your environment and then run actual playbooks with ansible-navigator, referencing this configuration file as needed.

@ragrawal Yes,  ansible-navigator.yml need to rectify
