ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec & ansible_winrm_operation_timeout_sec errors?

[SurferL]

$Customer here is confused :-) using ansible version 2.4.1.0

I get `fatal: [redacted-url]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ssl: a float is required", "unreachable": true}`

When I use it in the command line with the following:

ANSIBLE_CONFIG=./ansible.cfg ANSIBLE_FORCE_COLOR=1 PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 ansible-playbook -v -i ./ansible/hosts -l "TEST_nodes" -e "ansible_user=username ansible_password=password ansible_become_pass=password ansible_port=5986 ansible_connection=winrm ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec=150 ansible_winrm_operation_timeout_sec=120" ./ansible/site.yml

Am I not allowed to use it in this way?

From that github issue, Dag suggests trying 

ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec=150.0

If that doesn't work setting all of this stuff

"ansible_user=username ansible_password=password ansible_become_pass=password ansible_port=5986 ansible_connection=winrm ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec=150 ansible_winrm_operation_timeout_sec=120" 

in your group_vars would save you a lot of typing :-).  Since it is going to be true for any windows hosts you have, it one of those things you can probably set once and forget about.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Sadly ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec=150.0 didn't work

I'll just add it to the group vars.. thanks!
