Error when running included playbook

[Larry Bakun]

Hi everyone,

I'm receiving this weird error when running the second playbook (with include module and passing IP address).

Here is my first playbook:

---

- name: get VM list from ESXi

  hosts: all

  tasks:

  - name: get facts

    vmware_vm_facts:

      hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

      username: "{{ ansible_ssh_user }}"

      password: "{{ ansible_ssh_pass }}"

    delegate_to: localhost

    register: esx_facts

  - name: <<Debugging data

    debug:

      msg: "IP of {{ item.key }} is {{ item.value.ip_address }} and is {{ item.value.power_state }}"

    with_dict: "{{ esx_facts.virtual_machines }}"

  - name: Passing data to include file

    include: includeFile.yml ip_address="{{ item.value.ip_address }}"

    with_dict: "{{ esx_facts.virtual_machines }}"

This first playbook connects to ESXi servers and gets all VMs there, then passes an IP to another playbook where I want to print out my custom facts that I've saved there in the /etc/ansible/facts.d/vmware.facts file.

Here is my second playbook:

  - name: <<Check the IP received

    debug:

      msg: "Received IP: {{ ip_address }}"

  - name: <<Get custom facts

    vmware_vm_facts:

      hostname: "{{ ip_address }}"

      username: root

      password: passw

      validate_certs: False

    delegate_to: localhost

    register: custom_facts

I'm receiving this error not sure why:

 Anybody has any idea?
