Error in win_share

Trying to run the above script.

I am getting this error:

ERROR! no action detected in task

The error appears to have been in ‘/root/Downloads/Playbooks/WindowsShare.yml’: line 4, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

tasks:

  • name: Add secret share
    ^ here

Not sure -name: is valid for an entire playbook

Instead of

`

  • name: Windows Sharing
    hosts: newserver
    `

try

`

  • hosts: newserver
    `

That’s the (somewhat cryptic) error message for “we don’t know what that module is”. win_share was added in 2.1, so you’d need to be running at least Ansible 2.1.0.
