Disable privilege escalation (become) and password in playbook

Hi

I have enabled privilege escalation in ansible.cfg file:

[privilege_escalation] become = True become_ask_pass = True become_user = root become_method = su

But now I have one playbook which must run on localhost with connection local and no passwords and now privilege escalations. How to configure that in playbook. Now I have this:

`

  • hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    become: no
    sudo: no
    su: no
    `

It does not work, when I run playbook it requires it enter password. I tried this

ask-pass: no

But got:

ERROR: ask-pass is not a legal parameter of an Ansible Play

Also become-ask-pass does not work.

Thanks
Edgars

This is not currently a feature, password prompting happens before
playbook is loaded.
