Ansible Error: The task includes an option with an undefined variable. When Creating new folders

[Victor Sava]

- name: Update apt cahce
  apt: update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=3600

- name: Install NFS Common on FileServer
  apt: name={{ item }} state=present
  with_items:
    - nfs-common
- name: Create webservers directory
  file:
    path: "{{ item }}"
    with_items:
      - /nfs/webserver1
      - /nfs/webserver2
    state: directory

Hello guys while running this ansible playbook to create multiple folders i get error:

 "msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'item' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/home/user/.ansible/roles/mount/tasks/main.yml': line 10, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: Create webservers directory\n  ^ here\n"

What i am doing wrong?

with_items isn't a module parameter, so it needs to be indented to same level as file, like this:

- name: Update apt cahce
  apt: update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=3600


- name: Install NFS Common on FileServer
  apt: name={{ item }} state=present
  with_items:
    - nfs-common
- name: Create webservers directory
  file:
    path: "{{ item }}"

    state: directory    
  with_items:
    - /nfs/webserver1
    - /nfs/webserver2

Hi 

Remove quotes for item under path, it should work.
