Hi! New Ansible user here. I’m currently getting a syntax error and I can’t figure out what it is. Any clues? (Using version 2.2.2.0)

`

```auto
ERROR! The requested action was not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core modules are missing. If this is a checkout, run 'git submodule update --init --recursive' to correct this problem.

The error appears to have been in 'local/path/main.yml': line 2, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
- include_vars: passwords.yml
  ^ here

```
