Ansible & Juniper Junos - Unable to make a PyEZ connection: ConnectError()

Question

I have my inventory.ini, playbook called checklist.yml, and ansible.cfg.

I use VS code and I have the extension "remote - ssh" to connect to the network script server. Then I git pull from the script server and run ansible-playbook checklist.yml.

However, I only get errors. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I have been reading the documentation but it goes on about different modules and becomes confusing.

inventory.ini

[junos_devices]
LAB-AAOC-MPLS-PE02

checklist.yml

---
- name: Get Device Information
  hosts: all
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - juniper.junos

#region Variables

  vars_prompt:
   - name: username
     prompt: Junos Username
     private: no
   - name: password
     prompt: Junos Password
     private: yes

  vars:
    credentials:
      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
#endregion

#region task
  tasks: 
    - name: test task
      juniper_junos_command:
        provider: "{{ credentials }}"
        commands:
          - "show access-list"
      register: output

    - name: print outputs
      debug:
        var: output
      # with_items: "{{response.results}}"

        
#endregion

ansible.cfg

[defaults]

# some basic default values...
inventory = ~/Ansible---Network-Devices-Checklist/inventory.ini

The output error I get is the following. I assume something is wrong with my inventory file but I have been stuck for quite a while

PLAY [Get Device Information] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I have tried analyzing example code and reading documentation.
