Hi Ansible peeps,

I have this environment to automate VMware with Ansible

Is there any way to alter this behaviour to allow the task to display error, I can’t seem to debug this way.

You have to remove `no_log: true` from the task, if you don’t want `no_log` to hide the message.

Hi Mat

no\_log is not existent on any task on my playbook, i think it’s hard coded in

[https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/)

If anyone has a work around please share…

Thanks again

It works by adding no\_log: yes

Thanks a lot
