local_action fails to find module in Ansible 2.0 (delegate_to works)

[brya...@santecapital.com]

Upgraded to ansible 2.0.0.2 from 1.9.4 and noticed that after creating a new ec2 instance the wait_for module failed when using local_action:

Here's my play and the output:

    - name: Wait for SSH to come up

      local_action: 

        module: wait_for

          host={{ item.public_dns_name }} 

          port={{ wait_for_port }} 

          delay=60 

          state=started

          search_regex=OpenSSH

      with_items: ec2.instances

fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "ERROR! The module wait_for host=HIDDEN_IP_ADDRESS.compute-1.amazonaws.com port=22 delay=60 state=started search_regex=OpenSSH was not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core modules are missing. If this is a checkout, run 'git submodule update --init --recursive' to correct this problem."}

However using the delegate_to keyword works: Credit to these guys

    - name: Wait for SSH to come up

      wait_for: >

          host={{ item.public_dns_name }}

          port={{ wait_for_port }}

          delay=60

          state=started

          search_regex=OpenSSH

      with_items: ec2.instances

      delegate_to: localhost

Anyone else have this issue?

You are mixing formats, use yaml or key=val, but not both.
