Hi!!
Having issues with command tasks . . .

gmatz@fuzzybunny ~/Code/ansible-local $ ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook 1.9.1 (detached HEAD b47d1d7e69) last updated 2015/06/10 17:15:55 (GMT -400)

  v2/ansible/modules/extras: (detached HEAD 46e316a20a) last updated 2015/06/11 11:11:21 (GMT -400)
  configured module search path = /usr/share/ansible

- name: Get VBox version for installing extension pack
  command: /usr/bin/VBoxManage --version
  register: vbox_ver
  changed_when: False

TASK: [workstation | Get VBox version for installing extension pack] **********
failed: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "failed": true}
msg: this module requires key=value arguments (['/usr/bin/VBoxManage', '--version'])

This work a few months ago . . .  doesn't look like anything has changed with the command module . . .

I have tried quoting the contents of the command, but that didn't help.  any thoughts would be appreciated!!

Thanks a lot,

Guy

This might be a silly question, but what happens when you run that command locally on the target?
