The powershell shell family is incompatible with the sudo become plugin

[Jenisha T]

Hi 

I m configuring windows host on windows 10 virtual machine. My control node is Redhat OS 8 virtual machine. This is for the developer testing setup. I get below error when I do 
$ansible -vvv  winsvr -i /etc/ansible/hosts -m win_ping

"The powershell shell family is incompatible with the sudo become plugin". Why do I get this error. Any help to fix this issue is appreciated

This indicates that in your inventory you have indicated `ansible_become=true`, however you have not specified `ansible_become_method=runas` for the Windows hosts.

Please don't hijack a thread just because you see a similar error. 

Instead start a new one, which will also allow you to provide the information that is needed to answer your question (playbook, inventory, etc). 

In any case make sure you first read 

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html and understand what is means, especially the windows sections at the bottom.
