Trying to switch from Ansible 1.94 to Ansible 2.X (whatever the current latest is… just did a git clone)

A playbook that works in 1,94 give me the error below.

Running Ansible from an Ubuntu machine and the target machine is a FreeBSD machine.

Any suggestions / ideas? This is my third attempt to move from 1.X to 2.X and every time have run into issues.

Does a FreeBSD machine provide a 'distribution' variable in its facts?

ansible -m setup freebsd-machine |grep distribution

I do not know why this should have changed from 1.9 to 2.x, just a
guess...

This is what I'd expect to see in your case. You may want to read up the
debugging sections of ansible docs and see if you can see anything
specifically different. I'd also confirm using -vvv that the ssh command
used works as expected.

Running setup on 1.94 works… running on 2.2.0 crashes against a FreeBSD machine, but works against an Ubuntu machine.

Went to create bug report on this… but there was already a bug report and a pull request

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/15841

​2.0 to 2.1 should work with FreeBSD, current devel (2.2) has a revamp on how distribution facts are gathered and is currently broken for FreeBSD (as per the tickets you mention above), we hope to have this fixed soon.​
