ark-show-vars doesn't work as expected

Do you require variables/facts to be in cache or have variables defined only in the inventory ini files?

When I have inventory files in it's own directory and group_vars directory with it's own files, atk-show-vars will only show me the heading lines with define group names.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Below is output showing first the involved files, the involved files contents (host the same variable defined more than once) and then two sample outputs from ark-show-vars:
