ansible-galaxy newb error

Hi,

I am pretty new to Ansible, and followed Learn Linux TV’s excellent tutorial series.

In which, one of the last things we do is refactor things into different roles/tasks.

I am trying to follow the rvm1-ansible “role” I downloaded using:

ansible-galaxy install rvm.ruby

however, I can see their example code was in “playbook” format, I thought I could just extract what I need and put it in my tasks/main.yml for the targetted web_server role. Like so:

  • name: install rvm using the roles function
    roles:
  • { role: rvm.ruby,
    tags: ruby,
    rvm1_rubies: [‘ruby-2.6.6’],
    rvm1_user: ‘webuser’
    }

However I get an instant parsing crash when I try to run the playbook.

$ ansible-playbook site.yml
ERROR! unexpected parameter type in action: <class ‘ansible.parsing.yaml.objects.AnsibleSequence’>

The error appears to be in ‘/home/webuser/ansible/homelab/roles/web_servers/tasks/main.yml’: line 46, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  • name: install rvm using the roles function
    ^ here

I have been trying to find the missing piece on my own through documentation and even reading other ansible-galaxy module install steps to see if I am missing something obvious which I don’t know about.

Thanks

Andy
