Unexpected parameter type in new Ansible role

I’m trying to create a role that will update Satellite content views using the Foreman/Katello modules. Here’s what the role tree looks like:

[root@server1 /etc/ansible/roles/foreman_content_views]#tree
.
├── defaults
│ └── main.yml
├── tasks
│ ├── clean_cv.yml
│ └── main.yml
└── vars
└── main.yml

3 directories, 4 files

If I check the syntax on each YML file using “ansible-playbook --syntax-check” they check out fine. But when I run the main playbook, I get the following error after I include the role:

PLAY [Manage Satellite Content Views] **************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Manage Satellite Content Views] **************************************************************************************************************************************************
ERROR! unexpected parameter type in action: <class ‘ansible.parsing.yaml.objects.AnsibleSequence’>

The error appears to be in ‘/etc/ansible/roles/foreman_content_views/tasks/main.yml’: line 1, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  • name: Playbook to perform a repo sync from the sat server
    ^ here

Here’s the main playbook I’m running to start the run:
