Ansible hangs after parsing inventory

I'm using Ansible locally to configure my own machine and today (I haven't run the playbooks in a while) it all of a sudden started just hanging. I can't seem to run any playbooks at all, at least not locally. I'm at a new workplace and don't have any remote host handy to test on.

I'm using Ansible 2.7.1, running on a stripped down Ubuntu 18.04.

ansible.cfg:

[defaults]

inventory=inventory

inventory:

localhost ansible_connection=local

test (playbook):

---

- name: Test

  hosts: all

  tasks:

    - debug:

        msg: "I'm alive"

Here's the output:

$ ansible-playbook -vvvv test

ansible-playbook 2.7.1

  config file = /home/tjarvstrand/playbooks/mini.iso/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = [u'/home/tjarvstrand/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible

  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook

  python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Apr 15 2018, 21:51:34) [GCC 7.3.0]

Set default localhost to localhost

Parsed /home/tjarvstrand/playbooks/mini.iso/inventory inventory source with ini plugin

After parsing the inventory, it's dead quiet. Please help

EDIT: I have also tested with inventory:

localhost ansible_connection=ssh

with the same result.

Could you try connecting to the local machine with SSH?

Thanks, I did. Same result :/

Did SSH connection produce any output that was different from local connection? What happens if you try command ansible all -m ping?
– Madoc Comadrin

Yeah, the output was exactly the same when using ssh. Pinging hangs too. I've updated my question with the output.

It turns out this was a user error. I have a local ssh wrapper that was messing things up. I still can't figure out why this causes problems even on a local connection though but at least now I can work around it.
