Failed running ec2_vol module

I’m running the latest development version of ansible.
I’m getting an error: “TypeError: create_volume() takes at most 4 arguments (6 given)” when running the ec2_vol module (see below the full error message)

My action is defined as:

  • local_action:
    module: ec2_vol
    instance: “{{item.id}}”
    volume_size: 100
    region: “{{ec2_region}}”
    with_items: ec2.instances

The error message:

This problem is caused by a version mismatch of Boto relative to your ansible version. You need to use boto >= 2.6.0.
