    3.1. Error occurs in a role and regularly (As shown above)

The error itself:
$ ansible-playbook network_test.yml --syntax-check

ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to have been in ‘/usr/src/app/ansible/network_test.yml’: line 6, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

tasks:

  • name: provision AWS ACL for bug report
    ^ here

The error appears to have been in ‘/usr/src/app/ansible/network_test.yml’: line 6, column 7, but may

The offending line appears to be:

tasks:

    ^ here

This error suggests that I do not have an action in the task. That prompted me to see if Ansible even recognized ec2_vpc_nacl as a module.
I checked by opening ansible-console and ran ? ec2_vpc_nacl and quite unsurprisingly Ansible did not recognize it as a module.

Is there anything I have to do to complete the installation of ec2_vpc_nacl?

If I left out any useful debug information do not hesitate to ask for more.
