Im using Ansible 2.5 on Ubuntu 17.10
Given the following xml file
<business>
<beers>
</beers>
</business>
Trying to add nested elements so that the file is changed to the following
output fails.
<business>
<beers>
<beer>
<name>Old Rasputin</name>
<year>2000</year>
</beer>
</beers>
</business>
Here is the playbook I used
- name: Add several more beers with the year of manufacture nested
xml:
path: /foo/bar.xml
xpath: /business/beers
add_children:
- beer:
- name: Old Rasputin
- year: 2000
I see the following exception,
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use
-vvv. The error was: TypeError: Argument must be bytes or unicode, got 'list'

Is this supported or am I missing something here?
