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

[Andrew Holway]

Hi,

I cant get past this error. I've tried various combinations of quotes but to no avail.

Any ideas?

ta,

Andrew

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 }}"     

[James Tanner]

If foo is a list, then do this ...

with_items: foo

[Andrew Holway]

Hi, please ignore the foo stuff. This spat out with the error.

- copy: "src=/tmp/{{ freeipaserver_ip }}/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644"

This is causing the error.

Also the hypen should be in front of name: and copy: should be aligned with name:

- name: blah

Also, you don't need to quote the entire argset:

copy: src=/tmp/"{{ freeipaserver_ip }}"/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-"{{ ansible_hostname }}".gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-

info-"{{ ansible_hostname }}".gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644

Definitely don't quote individuals like this, you'll end up with quotes in the paths!

copy: src=/tmp/"{{ freeipaserver_ip }}"/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-"{{ ansible_hostname }}".gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-

info-"{{ ansible_hostname }}".gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644

have you tried?

  with_items:

      - foo

​

[Andrew Holway]

As I said. I have tried many combinations of quotes (including no
quotes) to make this work. It currently looks like this:

name: Pull file from ansible server
- copy: "src=/tmp/{{ freeipaserver_ip }}/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644"

But I am still getting this error.

This may be your email wrapping things, but this looks bad to me.

Can you share what you have on gist.github.com so we can see instead?

Instead of this:

- copy: "src=/tmp/{{ freeipaserver_ip }}/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg dest=/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{
ansible_hostname }}.gpg owner=foo group=foo mode=0644"

I would do this:

    - copy: 

         src: /tmp/{{ freeipaserver_ip }}/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{ansible_hostname }}.gpg
         dest: /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-{{ ansible_hostname }}.gpg owner=foo group=foo 

         mode: "0644"

You could also use equal signs instead of the colons.

Just wondering if the indents are actually what's freaking out the parser, but I'd need to see unformatted by your email program.
