Syntax Error while loading YAML.

[Pankaj Navneet]

Hi All,

I have written a YAML to install Nginx on my AWS Slave server. But every time i got below error while running my playbook. I googled to resolve this issue, but unable to do so. Can you guys help me in sorting what i am doing wrong here. I am using Ubuntu 16 and my YAML is,

- hosts: AWS_Slave

  tasks:

        - name: nginx

        apt_key: url=http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key state=present

        - name: nginx | Adding sources.list deb url for nginx

        lineinfile: dest=/etc/apt/sources.list line="deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ xenial nginx"

        - name: nginx | Updating apt cache

                apt:

                update_cache: yes

        - name: nginx | Installing nginx

                apt:

                pkg: nginx

                state: latest

        - name: nginx | Starting nginx

                service:

                name: nginx

                state: started

In YAML indentation is very important, and you need to be consistent in
the indentation.

Here is an example with indentation that should work.

- hosts: AWS_Slave
tasks:
- name: nginx
apt_key: url=http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key state=present

- name: nginx | Adding sources.list deb url for nginx
lineinfile: dest=/etc/apt/sources.list line="deb
http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ xenial nginx"

- name: nginx | Updating apt cache
apt:
update_cache: yes

- name: nginx | Installing nginx
apt:
pkg: nginx
state: latest

- name: nginx | Starting nginx
service:
name: nginx
state: started

Also, all indentation should be space characters, not tabs.

(If you've got tabs in your playbook, could Ansible catch that and
identify the problem more clearly than it currently does?)
