Having trouble copying registered result to local file.

[Marcos Georgopoulos]

Hi,

I am trying to save some results that I have registered to a file on my local machine ( that is running ansible ) The error I am getting is very generic and of no use.  Below is the playbook and the resulting error

---
- hosts: ios
  gather_facts: no
  connection: local
  vars:
    cli:
       host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
       username: cisco
       password: cisco
       auth_pass: cisco


  tasks:
 
  - name: DEFINE PROVIDER
    set_fact:
      provider:
        host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        username: cisco
        password: cisco
        auth_pass: cisco
 
  - name: RUN 'SHOW RUN'
    ios_command:
      provider: "{{ cli }}"
      authorize: yes
      commands:
        - show run
    register: before_base
 
  - debug: var=before_base.stdout_lines




  - name: "write to local file"
    copy:
      content: "{{ before_base.stdout_lines }}"
      dest: /tmp/test
      backup: yes
    run_once: yes
    delegate_to: localhost

fatal: [172.16.1.127 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {

    "changed": false, 

    "checksum": "d3b2821b4ae84267794786164cdbd16ac3752ad1", 

    "diff": [], 

    "failed": true, 

    "module_stderr": "", 

    "module_stdout": "", 

    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", 

    "rc": 0

Could someone please explain why this is failing and provide me with a way to do this simple task. Many thanks.

ok, I managed to solve this, there was a problem with my install.

It's unclear which task the error is coming from. Next time please include more log messages
