Getting this error when I run the playbook

ansible-playbook -i "localhost," test.yml -c local

sorry about the error, here is the error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "The conditional check '\"XQWATCHER_GIT_IDENTITY\" id defined' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'id'. String: {% if \"XQWATCHER_GIT_IDENTITY\" id defined %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/Users/arbab/test-ansible/test.yml': line 8, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n  tasks:\n    - debug:\n      ^ here\n"}

you error has '{% if \"XQWATCHER_GIT_IDENTITY\" id defined %}', which seems to indicate you misspelled 'is' as 'id'.
