Hi,
Recently upgraded to ansible 2.5rc2.
When running a role “bigip_check” I noticed an argument that is not defined anywhere is used. “provider”

fatal: [10.255.111.175]: FAILED! => {
“changed”: false,
“invocation”: {
“module_args”: {
“host”: “10.255.111.175”,

}
},
“msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (bigip_check) module: provider Supported parameters include: host, interval, password, reload, save_config, timeout, username”

Not sure where its coming from. Not passed into task?

  • name: Check if the BigIP is ready to accept commands
    bigip_check:
    host: “{{inventory_hostname}}”
    password: “{{f5.default.password.admin}}”
    username: “{{f5.username}}”
    reload: false
    save_config: false
    timeout: “{{check_timeout}}”
    interval: 10

  • debug:
    msg: “{{bigip.version}} {{bigip.marketingName}} {{bigip.build}} {{bigip.chassisId}}”
