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 }}"
