Included yml task fails

[Glenn Barnard]

Am using a current copy of Ansible and am in learning stage by writing playbooks that call Ansible's API's via the uri module. Am getting an error from the included yml that is trying to authenticate the user. Note that it's working fine when I put the task into the main yml. The error is a stack trace (below) followed with

   TypeError: unhashable type

Here's the main yml:

---
- name: Connect to Ansible API
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
  - include: authenticate.yml
      url="10.0.0.4"
      username="<username>"
      password="<password"

  - debug: msg='{{ authentication.json }}'

  - uri:
      url:  https://10.0.0.4/api/v1/users/
      method: GET
      HEADER_Authorization: TOKEN {{ authentication.json.token }}
      validate_certs: no
      return_content: yes


Here's the included yml:

---

  - debug: msg="Connecting to Ansible host with {{ username }}/{{ password }}"

  - name: Connect to ansible with creds provided
    uri:
      url: https://{{ url }}/api/v1/authtoken/
      method: POST
      HEADER_Content-Type: application/json 
      body: '{ "username" : "{{ username }}", "password" : "{{ password }}" }'
      validate_certs: no
      return_content: yes
    register: authentication


The stack trace is:

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

I cloned my playbook and turned the authentication into a role, and it behaved exactly the same.

I really could use some help with this!

[Glenn Barnard]

The underlying problem is this line in the include playbook:

     body: '{ "username" : "{{ username }}", "password" : "{{ password }}" }'

If I hardcode the username and password it works. So, this looks like an issue with uri, or I've not formatted this correctly.

Suggestions anyone?
