win_find module

[norricorp]

Hi,

if I have a task of

- name: find all the files in c/temp
   find:
         paths: c:\temp

then it fails which is fine because it is working on a windows machine. The important thing is that the syntax is good.

But if have what I actually want

- name: find all the files in c/temp
  win_find:
         paths: c:\temp

then I get a syntax error of

ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to have been in '/home/jnorris/ansible_playbooks/debug_playbook.yml': line 23, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

        - "{{ groups.centosServers }}"
    - name: find all the files in c/temp
      ^ here

Equally if I use win_shell, I get no syntax errors. Why is win_find not being recognised? What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

John

Per the win_find documentation that module is new as of ansible version 2.3 which has not yet been released.
