I recently upgraded to ansible 2.1 from 1.9.1 in our development
environment. I use virtualenv to install ansible 2.1 using pip. Recently
while running the playbook, I got this error:
fatal: [xxxxx-dev.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg":
"unsupported parameter for module: gather_subset"}
I see that in Ansible 2.1, they have added a new capability to gather
limited facts about hosts but by default it sets gather_subset
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#gathering> to
all. Thus, I have not set this value in my config file and expect it to
default to all.
This failure happened only once and the subsequent runs were successful. I
also read here that if ansible is installed separately through apt as well,
it may cause issues but since I'm using venv, I'd assume that it will be
forced to use version 2.1. Any help is appreciated.
