I have Ansible 2.4.0. I am trying to configure Jenkins proxy based on [Ansible Jenkins DevOps Roles documentation](http://ansible-jenkins-roles.readthedocs.io/en/latest/):

- hosts: master  
roles:
- jenkins\_configure\_proxy:  
jenkins\_home: “{{ jenkins\_home }}”  
proxy\_host: “{{ proxy\_host }}”  
proxy\_port: “{{ proxy\_port }}”  
become: true  
environment: “{{proxy\_env}}”

When trying to execute ansible\_playbook I get:

ERROR! role definitions must contain a role name

The error appears to have been in ‘/Users/me/projects/jenkins/jenkins.yml’: line 10, column 7, but may  
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

roles:

- jenkins\_configure\_proxy:  
^ here

That pretty strange, because other roles like `jenkins_plugin` work fine.

What am I doing wrong?

This is not the Ansible documentation, so probably a third party module perhaps that you need to install?
