ERROR: msg: this module requires key=value arguments

Hi!!

Having issues with command tasks . . .

gmatz@fuzzybunny ~/Code/ansible-local $ ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 1.9.1 (detached HEAD b47d1d7e69) last updated 2015/06/10 17:15:55 (GMT -400)

  configured module search path = /usr/share/ansible

- name: Get VBox version for installing extension pack
  command: /usr/bin/VBoxManage --version
  register: vbox_ver
  changed_when: False

TASK: [workstation | Get VBox version for installing extension pack] **********
failed: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "failed": true}
msg: this module requires key=value arguments (['/usr/bin/VBoxManage', '--version'])

This work a few months ago . . .  doesn't look like anything has changed with the command module . . .

I have tried quoting the contents of the command, but that didn't help.  any thoughts would be appreciated!!

Thanks a lot,

Guy

You could have a problem with the 'command' module in devel in the ansible-modules-core repo and running ansible 1.9.

There are changes for ansible 2.0 that impacted the command module in ansible-modules-core.  So the devel version of the command module is not compatible with ansible 1.9.

You might want to checkout the stable-1.9 branch and re-init your submodules.
