Actually just solved the problem myself. It seem the issue lied within the line of my playbook:
prompt: "Enter password for new user account {{ user_name }}" My thought is that the {{ user_name }} variable cannot be referenced since the vars_prompt method has not finalized yet. Removing the reference of the user_name variable solved the issue for me. Now my code looks as so, running as wished: --- - hosts: localhost vars_prompt: - name: "user_name" prompt: "Enter username to be added to systems" private: no - name: "password" prompt: "Enter password for new user account" private: yes encrypt: "sha256_crypt" confirm: yes tasks: - name: Create new user on localhost become: true user: name: "{{ user_name }}" group: ansible shell: /bin/bash password: "{{ password }}" On Friday, February 22, 2019 at 9:21:27 AM UTC-5, Kendon Emmons wrote: > > I am trying to get two variables in my vars_prompt, for username and > password. > > My playbook currently looks like this: > > --- > - hosts: localhost > vars_prompt: > - name: "user_name" > prompt: "Enter username to be added to systems" > private: no > > - name: "password" > prompt: "Enter password for new user account {{ user_name }}" > private: yes > encrypt: "sha256_crypt" > confirm: yes > > > > > tasks: > - name: Create new user on localhost > become: true > user: > name: "{{ user_name }}" > group: ansible > shell: /bin/bash > password: "{{ password }}" > > > > When I run the playbook from my system, I receive the following error: > > ERROR!
