Any idea how to fix this issue ?
Thank you

This has been solved as we were using an old ansible version in our requirements.txt file, we were on 7.6. Moving to 8.5.0 and later fixed this issue.

For others arriving here: I faced this error with ansible 2.14.17 - using 2.16.11 worked fine. Not sure which version exactly is the cutoff point.
