"one of the following is required: name,list while executing handlers"

[Sameer Modak]

We are getting "one of the following is required: name,list" error on executing handlers on non sles servers 

skipping: [NESSTDDB01] => (item=ntp)

skipping: [NESSTDDB01] => (item=vim)

failed: [NESLTR10AJAWA01] (item=vim) => {"failed": true, "item": "vim", "msg": "one of the following is required: name,list"}

failed: [neslds12ainfo01] (item=vim) => {"failed": true, "item": "vim", "msg": "one of the following is required: name,list"}

failed: [NESLTR10AJAWA01] (item=ntp) => {"failed": true, "item": "ntp", "msg": "one of the following is required: name,list"}

failed: [neslds12ainfo01] (item=ntp) => {"failed": true, "item": "ntp", "msg": "one of the following is required: name,list"}

Below are the tasks and handlers main.yml file 

This is tasks main.yml

vi roles/basic/tasks/main.yml

- name: "Installing VIM and NTP"

  yum: name= {{ item }} state=present

  with_items:

  - vim

  - ntp

  when: ansible_distribution != "SLES"

  notify:

  - test  <-----------

==============================================

This is the handler file code 

cat roles/basic/handlers/main.yml

- name: test  <------------

  copy: src=/home/capfin.capgemini.fi/smodak/handtest.txt dst=/tmp/ owner=root mode=0777

You can't have space in front or after the equal sign.
So correct syntax
yum: name={{ item }} state=present
