rEgarding command module issue

[Ashok Reddy]

Hi All,

The ansible playbook is 

- name: "Stop {{ app_name }}"

  ansible.builtin.command: "sudo pm2 stop API && sudo pm2 delete API"

  failed_when: false

- name: Flush pm2 logs

  ansible.builtin.command: "sudo pm2 flush"

  failed_when: false

- name: Remove startup script

  ansible.builtin.command: "sudo pm2 unstartup"

  failed_when: false

  

- name: Trigger the api.yml if there are any changes

  stat:

    path: /apps/{{ app_name }}/dist

  register: change_api 

- name: Run task if dir has changed

  debug:

    msg: "Dir has changed"

  when: change_api.stat.mtime != change_api.stat.ctime and app == "api"

- include: "website.yml"

  when: app == "website"

- name: "Start {{ app_name }}"

  ansible.builtin.command: "cd /apps/{{ app_name }}; sudo npm run start:pm2"

- name: "Save process list to dump file"

  ansible.builtin.command: "sudo pm2 save"

- name: "Configure {{ app_name }} to start on boot"

  ansible.builtin.command: "sudo pm2 startup"

- debug:

    msg: "Deployment has been completed. Please validate."

The error is:

ERROR! 'ansible.builtin.command' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to be in '/Users/deploy/tasks/main.yml': line 1, column 3, but may

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

The offending line appears to be:

- name: "Stop {{ app_name }}"

  ^ here

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with

missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they

start a value. For instance:

    with_items:

      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:

      - "{{ foo }}"

What you have is just a list of tasks.

A playbook is something different, and it contains that list of tasks.

Take a look at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_intro.html#playbook-syntax

By incorporating them into a playbook.

For which I gave you a link.
