> ansible-playbook RB2011.yml > ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, RB2011.yml > Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 8, column 1 YAML likes spaces, and not tabs; do you have a tab character at the start of the 'default: "test"' line? If so, change it to spaces, and it should work. (I was able to reproduce both the failure, and make it succeed, by switching between a tab and eight spaces.)                                       -Josh (jbs@care.com) This email is intended for the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED or CONFIDENTIAL.
