[ansible-project] Ansible not pulling in group_vars

[datsun80]

I moved my inventory files to their own directory and now the group_vars
are not loading.

Ansible Docs state:
Tip: In Ansible 1.2 or later the group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories can
exist in either the playbook directory OR the inventory directory. If both
paths exist, variables in the playbook directory will override variables
set in the inventory directory.

My current layout is as follows:
├── hosts
│ └── dev
│ └── qa
├── group_vars
│ ├── all
│ └── dev
│ └── qa
├── roles
├── site.yml

What am I missing? If I move the inventory files back to the main directory
with site.yml Ansible correctly pickups the group_vars.

How are you setting the inventory (I assume the hosts folder contain your
inventory files). Give us a sample of what's in the inventory files?

Yes, the hosts folder contains the inventory files.

I am calling it like so:
ansible-playbook -i hosts/qa -t redis site.yml

In the inventory file I have:

- name: Redis Server
hosts: redis
sudo: yes
roles:
- { role: redis, tags: ['redis'] }

Is that your inventory? Or your site.yml?

ansible-playbook -i hosts/qa -t redis site.yml

Yes, I mistyped. This is in my site.yml file:

- name: Redis Server
hosts: redis
sudo: yes
roles:
- { role: redis, tags: ['redis'] }
