Question: ERROR! 'become_user' is not a valid attribute for a TaskInclude

[Gaurav Arora]

Hi

We are upgrading from Ansible 2.7 to Ansible 2.8. We have following lines which are working perfectly fine with Ansible 2.7

# tasks file for ****

- name: Call **** installation tasks for {{ ansible_distribution|upper }}

  include_tasks: "{{ ansible_distribution|lower }}_****_install.yaml"

  become_user: root

But when we run it with Ansible2.8, we get the following error:

ERROR! 'become_user' is not a valid attribute for a TaskInclude

We checked the change logs but did not find anything related to this. Can anyone help us out here?

Thank You

In Ansible 2.7 we silently ignored `become_user` on `include_tasks`, so it wasn't actually doing anything for you.

Arguments applied to `include_tasks` only affect the include and not the tasks within, and become does nothing in that situation.

I believe what you want, is the functionality that `apply` gives you.

- name: Call **** installation tasks for {{ ansible_distribution|upper }}

  include_tasks: "{{ ansible_distribution|lower }}_****_install.yaml"

  args:

    apply:

      become_user: root

Also, note that `become_user` defaults to `root`.
