I’m running into a very odd problem with an ansible playbook that I’m running from Jenkins. The playbook executes the ec2\_elb\_facts module (without the names parameter). When it runs from my jenkins pipeline job, I get the following error:

```auto
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

```

```auto

```

```auto
The exact same playbook command (ie. copied and pasted from the jenkinsfile script) on the command line of the same jenkins server, and it worked fine.

```

```auto

```

```auto
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any idea what the problem might be?

```

```auto

```

```auto
Thanks,

```
