Ansible assumes that roles/x/tasks/main.yml is a plain list of tasks, but when the file is in the format:
tasks: - xxx ... it fails with unexpected exception (AssertionError): File "/opt/ansible/ansible/lib/ansible/playbook/helpers.py", line 37, in load_list_of_blocks assert isinstance(ds, (list, type(None))) AssertionError When it expects ds to be an list, it is actually an dict with 'task' key. It involves digging into the Ansible code to know that my main.yml is malformed. I would suggest Ansible point out the syntax, or accept both format of main.yml. In either case, I would like to send a patch for review. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
