We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with missing quotes.

Hello,

I am stuck with the following problem. I have tried various combinations of quotes but always get the same error.

Thanks,

Andrew

    We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
    missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
    start a value. For instance:

with_items:

  • {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

with_items:

  • “{{ foo }}”

This looks like it’s actually an issue with your indentation and YAML syntax. Your line should be as follows:

  • name: Pull file from ansible server
    copy: “src=/tmp/{{ freeipaserver_ip }}/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{ ansible_hostname }}.gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{ ansible_hostname }}.gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644”
