Problem with groups

I have the following in one of my playbooks:

  • name: “Copy SSH keys”
    command: sshpass -f ~/temp.pass ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub {{ ansible_user }}@{{ item }}
    with_flattened:
  • groups.worker
  • groups.proxy
    when: item not in groups.master

with the inventory file:

[master]
9.42.23.241 kubelet_extra_args=‘[“–eviction-hard=memory.available<100Mi,nodefs.available<2Gi,nodefs.inodesFree<5%”, “–image-gc-high-threshold=100%”, “–image-gc-low-threshold=100%”]’

[worker]
9.42.23.147

[proxy]
9.42.23.241 kubelet_extra_args=‘[“–eviction-hard=memory.available<100Mi,nodefs.available<2Gi,nodefs.inodesFree<5%”, “–image-gc-high-threshold=100%”, “–image-gc-low-threshold=100%”]’

[management]
9.42.23.241 kubelet_extra_args=‘[“–eviction-hard=memory.available<100Mi,nodefs.available<2Gi,nodefs.inodesFree<5%”, “–image-gc-high-threshold=100%”, “–image-gc-low-threshold=100%”]’

This runs fine on Ubuntu, but when I run on RHEL, I get:

to retry, use: --limit @/root/ansible/deploy.retry

groups.worker and groups.proxy is just those literal strings, not the IP addresses specified in the inventory file. Thoughts on what is wrong?
