Hello Experts,

As you can see struggling through basic tasks will appreciate any pointers , using ansible version 2.7

cat inventory.yml
fabric01:
hosts:
build_node:
build_host: 192.168.115.101
build_username: root
build_password: 123Abdul123

root@ansibile-launch:~/ansible/tasks/add-compute# cat add-compute.yml

Without an error I can only guess, one thing i've noticed is that you
are incorrectly formatting the task

- name: return motd to registered var
  command: 'cp /root/setup_data.yaml /root/setup_data.yaml.bak'
  vars:
    ansible_user= "{{build_username}}"
    ansible_ssh_pass= "{{build_password}}"

Thans Brian ,

It fails with following

mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to have been in ‘/root/ansible/tasks/add-compute/add-compute.yml’: line 11, column 23, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  • name: Copy Test
    ansible_user: “{{build_username}}”
    ^ here
    We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
    missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
    start a value. For instance:

with_items:

  • {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

with_items:

  • “{{ foo }}”

Hi Abdul,

You could remove the hosts from inventory.ym , else directly mention it in default hosts inventory file
