Ansible playbook command line snippet:

Output:

[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

ERROR! A malformed block was encountered while loading a block

Don’t have any idea which block was encountered while loading a which block, can anyone tell me where is the issue? Thanks!

1) Solution

The error is clearly coming from your playbook, because it doesn’t call any roles or load any other playbooks. That is, if I put this in a file:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

And try to run it, I get the same error. The issue is the entry in your tasks block. A task should be a dictionary, but you’ve provided only a string:

  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

You include an example of a correctly written task in your question. If we put that into your playbook, it would look like:

- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - name:
      stat: >
        path="{{ azure_subscription_authorization_configuration_file_dir }}"
      register: stat_dir_result
      tags:
        - azure
2) Solution

I got this error because i had a syntax error in my playbook. Note the use of colons(‘:’) in your playbook.

3) Solution

Ok, now I know how my playbook should look like, it was:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

Should be:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  roles: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration
4) Solution

in my case it was the error in the role. i missed «:»

the wrong code

$ cat main.yml
---
# tasks file for db.local

- include pre_install.yml
- include my_sql.yml

the good code:

$ cat main.yml
---
# tasks file for db.local

- include: pre_install.yml
- include: my_sql.yml

The following is my yaml file for a ansible configuration of a cisco device. In /etc/ansible/hosts I have also edited the hosts file to reflect my Amazon EC2 Ami instance as can be seen below

[ec2-instances]
ec2-54-152-72-23.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Inventory file ^

YAML File Below

---
-  hosts: ec2-54-152-72-23.compute-1.amazonaws.com
   gather_facts: false
   connection: local

   tasks:
    -name:  Customer IOS Upgrade Initial Discovery
    cli_command: "{{ show }}"

    vars: 
      show:
       - show run
       - show version
       - show interface status
       - show license


    -mail: 
      host: smtp.gmail.com
      port: 587
      username: sample@gmail.com
      password: sample2
      to: sample@sample.com
      subject: '{{ ansible_hostname }} configuration' 
      body: 'System {{ ansible_hostname }} has been successfully discovered.'
      delegate_to: localhost

    save_when: changed   
...

I get the following error message when trying to run the following. Any idea why this is happening? I have switched out what is seen in the initial .yaml file provided with [ec2-instances] and there is still no difference in runtime result.

ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/hosts test2.yml --user ec2-user --private-key=/home/adam/Desktop/EC2CSR1000v.pem -vvv

/etc/ansible/hosts did not meet script requirements, check plugin documentation if this is unexpected

ERROR! A malformed block was encountered while loading tasks

The error appears to have been in '/etc/ansible/scripts/test2.yml': line 2, column 4, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
-  hosts: [ec2-instance]

Пытаюсь запустить playbook:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

Где задача выглядит так:

---
- name:
  stat: >
    path="{{ azure_subscription_authorization_configuration_file_dir }}"
  register: stat_dir_result
  tags:
    - azure

И по умолчанию основной файл выглядит так:

---
azure_subscription_authorization_configuration_file_dir: '~/.azure/'

Дерево каталогов выглядит так:

├── hosts
├── playbooks
│   └── azure_authorization_playbook.yml
├── roles
│   ├── az_auth
│   │   ├── defaults
│   │   │   └── main.yml
│   │   └── tasks
│   │       └── main.yml

Ansible версия: 2.9.1 Отрывок командной строки Ansible playbook:

[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

Не знаю, с каким блоком столкнулись при загрузке какого блока, кто-нибудь может сказать мне, где проблема? Спасибо!

Хорошо, теперь я знаю, как должна выглядеть моя пьеса:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

Должно быть:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  roles: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

Ошибка явно исходит из вашего playbook, потому что он не вызывает никаких ролей и не загружает какие-либо другие playbook. То есть, если я помещу это в файл:

---
- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

И попробуйте запустить его, я получаю ту же ошибку. Проблема заключается в записи в вашем блоке tasks. Задача должна быть словарем, но вы указали только строку:

  tasks: 
    - azure_authorization_configuration

Вы включаете в свой вопрос пример правильно написанного задания. Если мы поместим это в вашу книгу, это будет выглядеть так:

- name: azure authorization
  hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  gather_facts: true
  tasks: 
    - name:
      stat: >
        path="{{ azure_subscription_authorization_configuration_file_dir }}"
      register: stat_dir_result
      tags:
        - azure

Я получил эту ошибку, потому что у меня была ошибка синтаксиса в моей пьесе. Обратите внимание на использование двоеточий (‘:’) в вашей пьесе.
