Hi all,

I’m trying to run my old playbooks (they work on Ansible 1.9) that have some async tasks in Ansible 2.1. The resources involved in the issue are in [http://pastie.org/private/o5obpof0vcmtukefprzeq](http://pastie.org/private/o5obpof0vcmtukefprzeq)

If I run the playbook “playtest.yml” with Ansible 1.9 it works fine, but it doesn’t work in the case of Ansible 2.1 throwing the error shown in the pastie.

What am I doing wrong?, can it be a bug?

Thanks,
