A playbook that runs fine on Ansible 1.9.5 suddenly fails on 2.0 with the following error (sensitive details hidden):

Here’s my ansible.cfg:

[defaults]  
remote\_user = \*\*\*\*\*\*  
sudo\_flags = -i  
vault\_password\_file = get\_vault\_pass.py

[ssh\_connection]  
ssh\_args = -o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=30m -o ControlPath=~/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r  
pipelining = True

[privilege\_escalation]  
become = True  
become\_ask\_pass = True

If I take out “pipelining = True”, the playbook runs fine on 2.0 as well.

What changed between 1.9.5 and 2.0.1.0 that broke this? Is there something I could change to make pipelining function again?
