Hi guys,
I am running an ansible playbook that supposed to return an apllication ID that I am having some issue; here the playbook

After running here is the result:

PLAY [mmc] *********************************************************************

TASK [setup] *******************************************************************

}
}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
ip-172-31-61-191.ec2.internal : ok=3 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0

It’s telling me that Specify a valid file to upload" I don’t know why the file is ms3-sample.zip. any ideas.

- action: shell curl --basic -u admin:admin -F
file=/etc/ansible/playbooks/ms3-samples.zip -F name=ms3-samples -F
version=2.0 --header "Content-Type:multipart/form-data"
"http://52.73.56.141:8080/mmc-console-3.6.2/api/repository"
  register: upload
- debug: var=upload

This task will run on the host and not the control machine.

After running here is the result:

TASK [debug]
*******************************************************************

    "upload": {
        "changed": true,
        "cmd": "curl --basic -u admin:admin -F

        "start": "2016-07-21 20:38:47.627552",
        "stderr": " % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time

362 4601 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 4646",
        "stdout": "Specify a valid file to upload",
        "stdout_lines": [
            "Specify a valid file to upload"
        ],
        "warnings": [
            "Consider using get_url or uri module rather than running curl"
        ]
    }
}

So in your case the file need to be on the host ip-172-31-61-191.ec2.internal, I'm guessing that's not the case and the file is on you control machine.

It's telling me that Specify a valid file to upload" I don't know why the
file is ms3-sample.zip. any ideas.

If the file is on the control machine you'll need to run the task on the localhost,
two ways to achieve that depending on the coding style you like.

- local_action: shell curl --basic -u admin:admin -F file=/etc/ansible/playbooks/ms3-samples.zip -F name=ms3-samples -F version=2.0 --header "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" "http://52.73.56.141:8080/mmc-console-3.6.2/api/repository"
   register: upload

or

- shell: curl --basic -u admin:admin -F file=/etc/ansible/playbooks/ms3-samples.zip -F name=ms3-samples -F version=2.0 --header "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" "http://52.73.56.141:8080/mmc-console-3.6.2/api/repository"
   register: upload
   delegate_to: localhost
