shell

[Manish Kumar]

Hi,

Please help me with this error which I am getting below :

play-book:

---

- name: Directory creation with current date

  hosts: local

  user: manish

  sudo: yes

  tasks:

  - name: Ansible fact - ansible_date_time

     shell: date.sh

     args:

       chdir: /home/manish/mk/ansible/linux/

Error: 

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.

  mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to be in '/home/manish/mk/ansible/linux/main.yml': line 10, column 11, but may

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

The offending line appears to be:

  - name: Ansible fact - ansible_date_time

     shell: date.sh

          ^ here

Your indentation is incorrect. The last three lines need 2 spaces less
indentation each.

Fix your indentation, it should look like that:

- name: Ansible fact - ansible_date_time
shell: date.sh
args:
chdir: /home/manish/mk/ansible/linux/

It really doesn't hurt to thoroughly read the error message and look at the documentation basics.
