"Unexpected parameter type in action" error

[Colin Coe]

Hi all

I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days.

I have a playbook that is called as part of an Ansible Tower workflow.

The playbook calls another ansible playbook and its this second playbook that throws the error.

The main playbook calls the second playbook like so:

    - name: Provision Stage3 Windows Image

      include_tasks: stage3-wds.yml

      when: var_host_role.find('win') != -1

      tags:

        - pxe_boot

The second playbook is:

---

- name: WDS - Prestage host

  hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: false

  vars:

    var_wds_client_name: "{{ var_hostname }}"

    var_wds_client_mac: "{{ hostvars['localhost']['var_vm_mac'] | regex_replace(':') }}"

  roles:

    - role: manage_wds

  tags: prestage-wds

- name: Connect to RHV and power the VM on

  ovirt_vm:

    auth: "{{ var_rhv_auth_token }}"

    state: running

    name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

Even when I remove the "hosts" and "gather_facts" from the second playbook, it still fails with the same message.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
