You need to provide more info.

  • include the playbook

  • the env (os, distro, version, etc) you are running ansible from

  • the env (os, distro, version, etc) you running the playbook against (the remote machine being managed)

  • any ansible config

  • the actual command line being used to start ansible-playbook

  • the full output from the failed ansible-playbook invocation (with the verbosity level raised by adding the ‘-vvvv’ cli opts to ansible-playbook command)

  • what you expect to happen

It can't be the same issue since you have changed your code.

So we can't make this a guessing game, you need to provide more information like the output including the error message (as Adrian already have indicated).

So what is you error message now?
