While attempting to use the sysctl module like this:
sysctl:
name: vm.swappiness
value: 0
state: present
reload: true
I got the following error:
TASK: [Ensure vm.swappiness is set to 0] **************************************
failed: [mgmt] => {“failed”: true, “parsed”: false}

elif value.lower() in BOOLEANS_TRUE:
AttributeError: ‘int’ object has no attribute ‘lower’
If I quote the value, e.g. ‘0’, it then works.
Is this the expected behavior, or is this a bug?
