[Noah Huppert]

OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Kernel: 4.4.0-31-generic

Ansible: 2.1.1.0

Ansible installation methods:

    - Via APT PPA

    - PIP (Python 2.7)

Python: 2.7.6

Install Python packages:

    - boto

    - boto3

Playbook:

# network_test.yml

- name: setup AWS network elements

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

    - name: provision AWS ACL for bug report

      ec2_vpc_nacl:

        state: present

        vpc_id: vpc-12345678

        name: strict-acl

        subnets: ['strict-subnet']

        tags:

          class: master-cluster

        ingress: [

          [100, 'tcp', 'allow', '0.0.0.0/0', null, null, 80, 80]

        ]

        ]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Be on Ubuntu 14.04

2. Install Ansible 2.1.1.0

3. Attempt to use the ec2_vpc_nacl module in any way

    3.1. Error occurs in a role and regularly (As shown above)

The error itself:

$ ansible-playbook network_test.yml --syntax-check

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

The error appears to have been in '/usr/src/app/ansible/network_test.yml': line 6, column 7, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  tasks:

    - name: provision AWS ACL for bug report

      ^ here

  tasks:

      ^ here

This error suggests that I do not have an action in the task. That prompted me to see if Ansible even recognized ec2_vpc_nacl as a module. 

I checked by opening `ansible-console` and ran `? ec2_vpc_nacl` and quite unsurprisingly Ansible did not recognize it as a module.  

Is there anything I have to do to complete the installation of ec2_vpc_nacl?

If I left out any useful debug information do not hesitate to ask for more.

The documentation[1] says "New in version 2.2"
You need to wait for 2.2 is released or build from source.
