invalid autocommand \"/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/python '\"'\"'\"`

[Danny Dias]

Hello, 

I'm having issues with my new Ansible install. 

Here's the version i installed:

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]# ansible --version

ansible 2.4.2.0

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible

  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible

  python version = 2.7.5 (default, Apr  9 2019, 14:30:50) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)]

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]#

I created an inventory file to play with:

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]# pwd

/home/dadiaspe/test-project

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]# ls -ltr

total 4

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 202 May 20 22:55 inventory.txt

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]# cat inventory.txt

vcme ansible_host=10.201.238.147 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=admin ansible_ssh_pass=cocis

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]#

When trying to run the following command, i get an error:

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]# ansible vcme -m ping -i inventory.txt

    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE",

}

Running the command again, with verbosity:

[root@srv-lx-shibb-idp test-project]#

I haven't changed anything under /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

I'm fairly new with Ansible, so i might be missing something but not sure what.

Thanks in advance
