There's no yumrepo extra module in the 2.0.0.2

[alexk...@gmail.com]

Anybody knows why that? The module exists in the repo since November 2015...

[Brian Coca]

Yes, well known as it is part of the future 2.1. It was merged into
devel after the 2.0 initial release went out.

Yeah, now I see that in the docs. Thanks for pointing out.

The error is confusing though, hard to determine that the module just doesn't exist:

ERROR! no action detected in task
The error appears to have been in '...roles/epel/tasks/main.yml': line 7, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:

- name: Set repo proxy
  ^ here

for the task

- name: Set repo proxy
  yumrepo: name=epel enabled=true proxy=https://{{proxy}}

It is very hard to distinguish that it is a missing module as all the following look like the same error:

- No action was added to a task entry ( - name: and no module )

- The task is misspelled ( - phile: )

- The task is referencing a module that is not available: ( - idontexit: or=icannotfind/read )

- The task is missing the action name ( - local_action: path=/var/tmp/test.txt )

It is even more 'fun' when the task action is dynamic:

 - action:

     module: "{{varwithmodulename}}"

We welcome pull requests to make the message and or detection better, but I doubt that we can distinguish well between the cases above.
